"Why north ? Long story. Short version: I'll be moving with a friend, and it seems like the best place for us both " Don't be kidded into believing it is all cheap up here. Some places you can get a flat for £300 to £400 a month. Others, like central Manchester, you'd be lucky see change from £700 a month in rent alone | |||

"Have you already got a job sorted If not what sort of job would you like" No, nothing. But I don't have a job here anyway. I'd be happy with any job tbh | |||

"Have you already got a job sorted If not what sort of job would you like No, nothing. But I don't have a job here anyway. I'd be happy with any job tbh " Just think about it and, plan, plan, plan. Get some money behind you. A deposit & first months rent could be anywhere from £800 to £2 grand. Do some job searches online, come up a few times and get a feel for the region. See if you like it before you make any moves. Assume you need enough to sustain living up here on your own. There's no saying your friend will stick around or meets a northern lad n piss off with him ... | |||

Or as a receptionist. Or a cleaner. Or in a hotel. There's lots of things I could do, really x | |||

She's already got a northern lad, and she is pissing off with him xD but she doesn't want to live with him. But her daughter needs her dad. So I think that's why she wants to move | |||

"I've contemplated this as well, but obviously moving south, but when you have a settled job, a mortgage and the thought of starting again all on your own, it is a scary prospect! It's a bit like the chicken and the egg storey, what do you do first? " I don't have any of that, and it's still a scary prospect. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to find a place to stay until I'm earning. But even then, there's a chance I wont. And with no money behind me, and any money I earn being spent on living down here, it's gonna have to be a leap of faith | |||

I know I might sound like a dreadful old stick in the mud, but if you do move, it'd be a great shame if it didn't work out for you. | |||

"Actually, you're the accident prone one aren't ya ? Where's north ? Do I need to look at upping my insurances ? " Yes. In fact I have just made my neck bleed by scratching it. So I think you should definitely up your insurance! | |||

Oh I know that, but for a young girl without a steady or well paid job, it's still a bloody big chunk of money. I just wanted to make her aware that, in certain areas, renting still isn't cheap up here. But on the rooms front ... OP maybe you could look into house shares too ? | |||

Cost me £550 a month for a tiny box room when I lived in London. Shared a house there for 18 months | |||

"The way I see it, what's the worst that could happen? Nothing drastic or permanent. " That's the sort of positive attitude that will see you okay in the end We did this. We both lived in Bristol after uni, but gradually all our friends disappeared to find better schools as their kids reached school-age. It was quite liberating, but also daunting, knowing we were prepared to go anywhere in the country. Sorted a new job for me first, then we rented while we checked out the area before deciding where to settle down, finally sorted job for mrs ddc. Best of luck, feel free to pm if you like.
