But what is an appropriate thought exercise is deciding what steps to take towards the future. I have decided I would like to remain in Bath for a while, however, along with council tax and bills, I will need over £500 a month. This seems almost impossible.
The benefits that I will receive in Bath are phenomenal and worth fighting for that impossible however. My GP is a lot more efficient and sympathetic in Bath than in my hometown, I feel there is even hope that they may be able to help improve my health. I have suffered from numerous health issues and despite going to the hospital regularly as a child to see a 'specialist', both my mother who took me and I knew that it was a complete waste of time.
I also have very close friends in Bath which I would like to spend at least another year in the company of.
Bath is also a very beautiful city that is only two hours from London, close to Bristol, with a mix of brilliant architecture and countryside.
In the end, I will make sure I will always have enough money to catch a train home. Before then, looks like I'll be sofa hopping for a while.
