Starting again

Hello
I'm Hayley, I'm 40 years old and I have just separated from my husband, so I am looking for somewhere to live from late January/early Feb.

My budget is up to £800 a month, ideally including bills. I have an indoor cat called Jagga who would be coming with me.
I am a senior library assistant and work full time in the Redbridge area of London so Essex or London would be the best places for me-I've put some places in but am open to outside of those as long as my commute is reasonable.

I am quiet, not a party person, early riser and most of the time fairly early to bed too, so a party/loud ,music house won't work for me! I love reading, yoga, anything spiritual but I also write for a music site Joyzine so love going to gigs and music too! I'm vegetarian. I'm very left wing, feminist, and lgbtq+ friendly

My ideal home would be somewhere we could sometimes socialize together but also respect each others space. I'd love to be around other females, but I am open to any genders/orientation really, but would prefer to be a smaller share with less people if possible. My cat is indoors but I don't want him to be confined to my room, I am sure he would adore attention from all who live there :)

Deposit wise, at the moment I may not have one until at least January, but may be able to pay a small holding deposit if needed.
PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME IF YOU DON'T ALLOW PETS!
