My flatmate gave me 2 weeks notice yesterday. She's moving out. I'm really annoyed how she's gone about it.

I spoke to Dan, my dearest and bestest friend for the past 27 years, and he gave me all kinds of good advice. Take hold of what you can, you could be dead tomorrow. If it feels good, then do it.
