Perhaps you're counting your chicks before they've hatched.
If your boss tells you you've nothing to worry about you probably have nothing to worry about. If you've genuinely made effort to improve a situation at work, find some way to document that you've been trying and speak to your management about it. Make it clear that you need this position.

Parents are always going to provide problems, have you any friends that can offer assistance? Friends are usually more than willing to help.

Perhaps you should bring home some strange for an all nighter and then your ex won't think you're in denial.

Edit: I hope things improve for you, I know what it's like to stress over these sort of things.

Listen to Kristine, she speaks a) in sentences and b) sense.

Do your tights have slashes or nicks in them?

They have balls in 'em.
Fact.

not nearly as sexy as nicks and slashes, though

I never know what to tell you.
Sometimes you don't like the colour, how will I know if you're going to like the styling? :)

They're fishnet, and scarlet.

When I wear tights-type-tights, I go for slashes in one leg. Oh yeah.

Just tell me the truth :D

Black, patent leather stilletoes.
Not a pair of DCs. Oh no. No siree.

I need to collar my boss when he's not doing boss things
and say "hey, how do you think I'm doing?" - if not good, there's still some time for improvement, after all. I'm going to have to write down everything I've done before I go into the meeting in a couple of weeks so perhaps they'll take a different angle on it, and I know at least one of my managers knows I need this job.

Most of my friends locally have moved back from whence they came, mostly to London, and the people I grew up with are scattered all over the place, so it might be harder to track people down and ask if I can crash for a while :( my main priority is not living with the parents again because I'll never escape...

I'm not in the market for another relationship, even an overnight one; my colleagues keep banging on about the pull and match.com and meeting someone else and they don't seem to get that I'm not ready and don't want to put myself through all that again :(
