Hrmmmm
1) There's no harm in looking for another job, or as a matter of fact asking people how well they think you're doing at your current job.
2) Living with your ex is going to be stressfull from time to time. I reccomend password protecting your laptop. I live with my teenage younger brothers, and my browsing history has strangely gotten a lot shorter and a lot less dodgy since I did. You realy want to move out at some point, but untill you're fairly secure in this, or another job it's best not to make too many plans.
3) The parents thing is a lot harder. On one hand you don't want to realy wind up moving back in, and the local jobs thing sucks, but with the internet you should be able to find work somewhere, hopefully. And at least you have somewhere to fall back on, other than living in a dumpster. (and if that fails, I know of some fairly good dumpsters, good transport links, friendly neighbours)
4) You're going to have to tell your folks at some point about the break up. Best to grit your teeth and prepare for a row I guess. Even so, I'd do it when there's slightly less money/work related stuff going down.

I can't think of anything else realy. Hope some of that was some help. Oh, other than Man the fuck up. :)

Thanks :)
1. I think that the first thing I need to do is collar my boss and ask him; I've got two weeks left to go and it looks like I'm showing willing after all, rather than just letting it lie.
2. 99.9% of the time we live together with no problems at all, even if there's nothing else there we are the best of friends, and sadly at the moment we have my laptop between us as his PC went phut not long after we moved in. We're both in the market for a new computer - it'll be the first thing I buy if I don't lose my job - so I don't think it'll be a problem for too much longer.
3. My parents are, frankly, a pain in the arse. My mum clings terribly, fusses over me like I'm still a kid and my dad is a control freak who hasn't spoken to me since last July because I didn't move back to Wales. I'm determined that even if I do get fired, I'll do my utmost to get something else because living in a bin is preferable to living with them, especially when they find out we did split :(
