Hi everyone
Just need some advise from somepeople who are a bit unbiased!I have been in a bit of a rut past year or two and haven't really got much to show from it, (about from a growing collection of ponies). I've decided that I need to move out of my Dad's and get my own place.
Three years ago; My mum, stepdad & baby brother moved up North to be nearer my grandparents and my stepdad's family. When they went I was insistant that I was going to stay, all my friends are here and at the time my teenage brother was here and my Aunt was going through a very messy divorce and I decided to stay for them.
Now my teenage brother is moving up North in September to do a course for the Police and my Aunt finds out in February if she can keep her home and if she cant she will be moving up North to be closer to the rest of the family. So I thought it was time that maybe I took the plunge and moved up there, granted I would have to live with my mum for a while so I wouldn't exactly be moving out on my own but I really miss them!
My friends were very supportive of me moving out and getting my independence... right up until I said I wanted to move away! now they are all trying to put me off the idea and/or guilt tripping me to stay local. I've done a small bit of research and I could afford to rent a 2 bed house up north for less then a one bed flat where I live now in surrey!
This is actually really getting me down and it's reduced me to tears when I've been argueing with my friends about it! I just dont know what to do, I am very shy and so sometimes find it hard to make friends and I have such a good network of people where I live that I'm also a little afraid of leaving that!
Any advise anyone can give, I would be really grateful!
