right, this is nothing to do with cars or anything but I need some advice!!!
Basically in one month time I will be made redundant, I have known that this is happening for the last 18months, but the company I work for have paid me a rather substanstial retention bonus to stay till the end so that all the Computer systems can be removed by people that know the systems inside out!!! Thing is, I really want to move away from Stockport, I am the first to admit that it is a dive!!!! I just dont know what to do next!!!!
I have a couple of options....
1) move to Milton Keynes - bonuses are, nearer to London(more money and jobs), cheaper houses than Stockport!! 140miles away from my bitch stepmother!!!
2) Go travelling for a couple of months - bonuses are, seeing new places, meeting loads of new people and finding out if I want to live in another country, but if I was away for too long I may struggle to get another job when I get back!
3) get another job in Manchester and buy a house in another area and commute in everyday. I wouldn't mind doing this as I do like manchester, but I also want a change!!!
4) Start my own business. This is something I am seriously considering, but it is coming up with the idea of what to do that is the problem!!! all my ideas either involve computers or cars!!! I need more scope!!
basically I have spoken to loads of people about what I should do, but noone seems to be able to give me any proper advice, I really want a house, so that would make travelling difficult, but if I dont go travelling now it may be a long time before I get a chance like this again!!! aaaaaaaagggghhhhhhh!!!!! it is one of the first times in my life where I have an opportunity to make some real changing decisions and I dont want to make the wrong one as I feel like it would be letting my family down as they all have high expectations of what I should do!!!!
Any ideas?!?!?!? :-/
