Mate, all I can say is you’re a far stronger person than I am - you are dealing with some of the shittiest living situations and still thinking through it logically despite being sick as well. It’s so shit that you had to come back to this. I apologise for not remembering, but when do you get to finally get to leave the system/age out? It’s within a year… I hope?? 😬
Okay, at least you have some options. You seem optimistic that this new dropkick will be booted fairly soon but until he is it sounds like you have to go through more crap. I really wish you didn’t have to but you can always vent in the DT whenever you need to…
Thank goodness. But sus out how safe it’ll be to complain first. Sometimes it’ll get back to the idiot you’re dealing with and aggravate them, then you’re left with them taking it out on you.
Fortunately our bathrooms and toilets aren’t shared
That’s good, I was going to suggest a kettle for your room but thought that you’d have to keep refilling a container of water in the kitchen and it would raise questions. Bathroom sink might be an option if you’re desperate and it’s frequently disinfected?
Have a think about the bar fridge I guess. Extra fridges do consume extra electricity. But if utilities are being paid for, you have the money to buy it, it’ll make this crap time safer/more comfortable and your fridge space needs aren’t large… it might be good to have one already when you eventually move out on your own. That’s one less thing you have to buy immediately upon moving. It also means you could hold off on getting a full size fridge until you measure the dimensions in the new place. The one thing I’d consider though is if the energy efficiency might be bad or have become outdated by the time you leave. (Is that a thing?) Could just sell it on once you’re the utility account holder.
Edit: If you’re allowed to take home food from work/can get any cheap large meals that also provides somewhere to keep leftovers for the next day.
Yeah… confidentiality is important but some of these things you really would want to know upfront.
