A positive update this week.

I received a very interesting offer of somewhere to stay in Reading from a friend towards the end of last week. I spent the weekend thinking about this and the other room that I was waiting on hearing about, and I decided that I ought to look around a few more places before making any decisions.

I got back in touch with the woman whose flat I'd viewed originally to let her know what I was doing, and she'd said that she'd offered the room to someone else. It's fair enough, and I feel a little relieved - perhaps that place wasn't the right one for me. I feel a lot more positive about things than this time last week, and I'm going to take a look at a few more places just as soon as I can arrange viewings. I'm determined now to find the right place, rather than just take the first thing that comes along.

Whilst I am busy trying to get moved to Reading, the fact that I've not been there for ten days now seems to be responsible for my outlook brightening a little for the first time in a while. I'm still looking forward to moving, but being stable in Leeds for the last few weeks has helped me deal with things.

There's still a lot to deal with and things I need to sort out, but I get the feeling that I'm travelling on the right path.
