How stupid am I being new job, new town, home or no home

[Idontknowjustsomething]

I started a new job last week in a new town.

I spent the last week sofa surfing my brother and a bedsit.

DH and the DD are still in our rental house in London.

We are totally skint until payday on the last day of August.

We are totally crap with money and because of Illness and unemployment and DH fucking up benefits we are now a month and a bit behind on rent.

We also have a shite credit reference. This is making it hard to rent somewhere in the new town.

I could do with some help sorting out what to do with this pickle.

DH want to just hand the jeys back to the Landlord, rock up in Poole, where my job is and throw himself and the DD's on the mercy of the housing people just to get a roof over our heads. We have one way train tickets but a friend has offered to drive us back to our place in London if DH gets no joy from the council Monday.

Everything about our situation is the worst possible. Rent arrears, no guarantor, no money, its a mess and I don't know what to do anymore

I don't think it's a good idea. Everything about our situation is making me feel sick.

My options feel very limited.

Go to job by myself sofa surf until welcome is worn out.

Go to job with family, throw ourselves on the mercy of the council.

Quit job in Poole find another job in London, save save save.

This is all stuff we should have done but DH suddenly list his Job in March and we've had difficulties since then. I did start a thread in chat a couple of weeks ago but I can't find it for some reason.

HELP

It's not the reality though. There may be the odd local authority that makes a weird decision but it's by no means usual and it doesn't help anyone to spread the misinformation that it is.

I'm reticent about the council, but it's always the credit reference and other references, we're both so down about the situation we got ourselves in, DH used to be Stella and on the ball about stuff, but since he had testicular cancer he's been drowning in an inability to get stuff done.

Frankly, I don't know the point of references anymore and I reckon that letting agencies have built a business model around charging out that service... One agency tried to charge us £300 for reference and then said no.

I read and watched Chris Gardner's Pursuit of Happyness and if he could turn his life around from homelessness with a kid. Me and DH can do the same. Sometimes it's useful to get s sanity check and thanks all for that
