Hi Zoe and welcome to our forum. If you don't wish to take heed of our advice what more can we say?

Why isn't our advice an option?

You can get a cheap last minute package holiday to give you the chance to be kept for two weeks while job/apartment hunting and with parents already living here what's the problem?

sorry misunderstanding i meant that its not an option to come for a few weeks and return here again, spending money i dont have on flights etc it has to be 1way over no return i have lots of other problems here hence why im eager to leave england

Hi Zoe, welcome, you should really take heed of the advice given, are your parents still in Tenerife or back in England, could they not give you advice?

Hi Zoe and welcome...

ou may find that a last minute cheap deal is actually cheaper than a one way flight at the moment.

Flights are so expensive at present so that would be an idea...you also will have the week or 2 to find an apartment which shouldnt be hard at all. You need not even think about using the return flight...

Could your parents not find you an apartment first...theres loads advertised in local newspapers.

Jobs may be harder to find depending on what you want to do....or what you are prepared to do....lol

Good luck

Or if you don't want to spend the money could your parents not let you sleep on their sofa for a week or so until you find an apartment. It really isn't hard to find one.

Re. getting a job: unless you have an amazing CV then you are unlikely to find work until you get here. Or if your parents have good contacts perhaps they can find you something as they could vouch for you, even if this was only temporary. Too many people say they want to come over but don't in the end or only stay for a few weeks so employers have to be careful.

Good advice, take it all in Zoe.

You will be glad you did in the long run.

This forum will give you the facts, it may not be what you want to hear but it will be reality.

"x" times ditto......................................................especially in today's climate.

From what I can ascertain, you're going about it the wrong way; and, as others have mentioned, why are your parents not giving you the information you need?

Doing it your way may well end up in tears/recriminations/accusations, etc..

Even a four figure sum can disappear quickly in Tenerife, even if it is (where's that !!**!!*!*!*!! £ sign), got it, £9999.00.

This may seem hard, but the advice given IS for your benefit and well being on the island.

By the way, I didn't check the date of your post, so you may well be there by now, if so, do give a lot of thought to the replies you have received, especially by the people who live there..................THEY should know !!!!
