The 'have a moan' thread

[Emmadolly]

Im so depressed =(, I have 4 weeks till my GCSE exams start, and Im not bothered, my mums telling me off, not to go on the computer, lol, now that my holidays finished, it feels so depressing I cant wait till the day I leave school forever, I hate school =(

You won't be saying that once you have left school.

So true. I finished school last year and have missed it every day since. Now my friends are off at Uni and I'm at work, and we rarely ever get to see one another. Enjoy it while your there.

My moan, hayfever... constant hayfever. I've had it for about a month now. I wish it would just leave me alone.

I used to suffer with hayfever, but for the last two years i have'nt had it all. Fingers crossed.

[Meh-meh..Millie..]

I didn't sleep well, the bed was so uncomftable. Now I feel bad.

[Emmadolly]

Is it the same bed you normally sleep in. Or was it a different one?

[Meh-meh..Millie..]

A different one. It was horrible! And the dog started barking at 6am. ARGH!!!! I hate dogs, cats are so much nicer.

[Lolzi]

On friday I'm going to my best friends mum's funeral.

Sorry to hear that, I've been in that situation myself. Good to have you back by the way!

Gah, a moan thread - perfect! I need a good long moan! Apologies for the length of this post!

We're in our second year of Uni and there's 4 of us living in this house in Lincoln. Three of us (which includes me and my best mate who I shall call 'J', and another close friend of ours who I'll call 'B') went to college together, went to Oz together and came up to Uni together. The other guy we met last year at Uni.

When it came to our second year we decided that we would stick with this house right until we graduate at the end of our third year, it would save the stress and hassle of having to move around and would ensure we were comfortable in our final year.

In the New Year, B all of a sudden announced that he'd found a cosy little 2 bedroomed house on the other side of town that he was going to move into with his girlfriend for the final year. He'd mentioned that they were thinking about it - but it wasn't until we asked him weeks later that he turned around and said 'Oh yeah, I'm definately moving out.'

Me and J were pretty disappointed by this, the fact that he was ditching us and leaving us in a predicament. His girlfriend practically lives around here anyway so why they have to move I don't know. It's been the typical guy gets a girlfriend, drifts away from his best mates etc. situation.

Our other housemate said he was definately staying - so we started the search for another housemate, which turned out to be pointless as all the people who were still looking were moving in two's.

Then 2 weeks ago our other housemate changes his mind and announces he's moving in with another one of his mates. This got me and J really stressed out, and frankly rather p****d off! He reckons it would be easier to find 2 people to move in - which it may have been had he announced this in January. By now everyone we know is sorted for next year!

We had a chat with the landlord and she has given us until 1st April to find 2 people, if we haven't found any by then she's going to advertise the room herself and we'll have 2 random strangers moving in with us.

We've considered other options, such as moving into a 2 bedroomed house ourselves, but there aren't any at a decent price on this side of Lincoln (where we want to stay for easy access).

A friend suggested that we could always move into a 3 bedroomed house with his girlfriend - though she wants to live right on the other side of town. She was moving in with 2 other girls but they are delaying signing things and causing a problem.

We thought about it and said we'd look at the house. The house wasn't too bad, but we hated the area. It's really rough, tiny one way streets which seem really claustrophobic, and with it being on the other side of Lincoln it would be really awkward driving to, through the centre of town. Additionally there's also been 3 muggings there within the last fortnight which really makes it appealing.

After many discussions with J, we decided to stick where we are. However now our mate has got really arsey about it saying that we're just messing his girlfriend around and that she probably won't be able to move into the house now!

We want to feel comfortable in our final year, and we wouldn't be comfortable living there. We never said we were going to move in, just that we'd take a look and see what we think! If she is in such a predicament she could always move here - but she doesn't want to leave that area. So he can hardly have a go at us at not wanting to leave this area! We're not moving just for the sake of pleasing his girlfriend!

Along with our heavy workload from Uni it is getting extremely stressful for both me and J. He's not been feeling well for a couple of months now and is quite depressed about everything that's going on. A couple of weeks ago we were up until 5am talking, he was in tears whilst explaining how low he is feeling. It's all affecting him both mentally and physically and he's had to go to the doctors about it.

As it stand we've decided to stay in this house, and see who comes along for viewings when it's advertised - it's not the ideal situation but it's the best we can come up with!

Well my housing arrangement has just gone from bad to worse, the landlord hasn't found anyone to move in with us, and unless we manage to find someone in a week then she's kicking us out - and it would be difficult to find somewhere else at this late stage - I hope my other housemates are very happy with themselves.

[Lolzi]

It is,and thanks too.

[Meh-meh..Millie..]

If I could I would move in but I live in New Zealand and i'm 14...

If you get kicked out why don't you freeload off one of you mates for awhile? Or if your parents live near you go freeload off them.. thats what I would do but I have never really been in that situation so I can't really give a 'rational' answer.

Oh s**t that is awful. Has she found four people who want to rent it then? Or couldn't you make a deal, like the two of you have longer to look, but have to pay half rent on the spare bedrooms unitl you find people (not ideal I know but better than being homeless).

I just still can't believe that your friends would turn around and leave you in a situation like this. I'm guessing the problem is most people will be tied into contracts by now. I'm living with one other person and we would definitely want to move in with another two friends to cut costs, but we have signed and paid deposits and everything.

Have your other housemates said anything to you about it? I can see this turning into a huige row pretty quickly if they aren't very nice to you, forever, until the end of time!

ETA: The only alternative I can think of if you do get kicked out and can't find another flat is going to the Uni and asking about spare places in Halls. I know, "Ugh, right?" but there are quieter ones and ones for over-21s if the idea of living with Freshers doesn't appeal, and again better than being homeless.

I'm tired..I should go to bed
