Good things seem to be happening

Haven't posted for a while because life has been pretty hectic to be honest. What with trying to find a job and moving into the new house and sorting out stuff back at my home and family issues.
Dad's 'condition' has got worse in the last couple of months. After we had some pretty intense drama that included everyone in the Davies side as well as my Mum, as usual, he's been referred to a mental health team. They say he has bipolar, which would explain a lot. But as far as I'm concerned it doesn't justify the things he's said and done. I haven't spoken to him for 2 months now, and things feel a lot calmer because of that. At least he's getting support, but I really don't want to talk to him right now, for reasons that don't need to be explained in great detail on here to you lovely people.
Mum is not doing so well with affording rent and working with the benefits people who want to track every single penny she's accountable for, so we're looking for selling out my room to a lodger which should help with money issues. I don't mind particularly it is just that it's kinda weird that this is the last summer which I can say it is MY room, depending on how it all goes. But I put Mum's issue above my feelings.
Though jobs have been kinda hard to come by recently, with interviews not going so well apparently. Mum got me this pretend interview investigation that Brookes were doing which is designed to test managers on their interview skills, and they gave me tips and feedback on my experience which was really helpful. I have two more interviews for nearer when 2nd year starts, but that means I basically can't earn anything this summer. Ah well, better than nothing. The new house is amazing; it was refurbished 2 years ago, with new bathroom, kitchen and living room, and I get a double bed! The landlord and estate agents are much better than the last ones, so that's a bonus too. I think I'll be happier there than in the last one. All in all, things aren't too bad. In fact although I don't have a job I'm quite happy :)
