I'm in a better mood today. Pissed-offness has turned into defiance. I will find a flat, and I'll find one this weekend too. Thanks to Scally for offering to buzz me round places tomorrow, and thanks again to everyone for their sympathy. It's ranged from the soft platitudes 'These things happen for a reason', 'It just wasn't meant to be', to the hugely optimistic 'Hope a house fell in your lap'. Better take those ruby slippers off then, just in case. Also as a couple of people have pointed out, and now I've poked my head meerkat-like out of my mire of self-pity... I am healthy, I'm happy (!) and I'm moving to Australia in 8 weeks. Things could be a lot worse. Thanks kids for my verbal slappings. Consider me having pulled myself together.
