You're utd, you don't have to work ( if only that would work on my DF). How much was the bond, and how much to break the lease? It just seems like such an exorbitant amount to pay for rent atm, you know? Even if breaking the lease was, say, a couple of hundred, it would depend on the price of the next place you moved to, but if you went somewhere for $300, you could make the lease break up in like four or five months just from the savings on your rent. Ack, does that makes sense?

AS for Macca's, perhaps talk to the boss, especially if he really likes you and you've been there for a while (it shows you are a comitted worker and are not going to up and bail) and ask for more regular, family friendly hours.
