Thinking aloud and stressing quietly

[pyoor_excuse]

So:

- House lease runs out on the 8th October
- I'm on holiday from 24th October
- I have no written job offer as yet (although a conditional one by e-mail); they won't send me a 'full' offer until they've got my occupational health clearance and my references back
- One of my references hasn't replied yet
- Because of my complex health history (I suspect) and latex allergy they want more stuff to do occupation health clearance
- It takes at least 3 weeks to buy a house in the UK

So. The only option I can really see is to extend the lease - *now* so that I've got somewhere to live. Because at this moment I have no house and no job which is a somewhat untenable situation. But how long to extend it for. Do I hope that everything comes through and just give myself the extra couple of weeks -if they'll extend it - or do I give myself another month and a chunk (because one month only gives me 'til the day I get back from Toronto). Argh. I'm not sure what I should do at this point.

To make things just that teensy bit lovelier today, I need to go over to UWE and see if my results are back from my essays. I'm terrified. If I've failed again I'm royally fucked. Argh.

Honestly, I would do a month and a chunk or two months. Or at least call them up an explain your situation...they may have another suggestion for you. You have enough to worry about without putting housing worries on top of it. Moving in a hurry with nearly unmeetable deadlines is a horrible way to move.

Aye, they've said that I just need to tell them how long tomorrow, so I'll drop in a letter. Just trying to decide on how long. I think best plan is a month and a chunk, except then I have to move as soon as I come back. Mind, I guess I can buy a house before I leave. Oh... crapnuts. I hate complex.
