Yea all is well, although I'm ill and having the day off work (There is a bug going round here) Atleast you've come to realise that hes targetting you for money, as if you didn't notice then you would be getting yourself into money troubles by constantly lending him what he needs. He can't force you into giving him anything, he seemed to have survived when you wasn't living in the area..

I gave him 10 and he said he needed 20. I just gave him the ten, went home then got a text saying he wasn’t going back to his flat so was in the pub instead. Mate, just don't lend him any money at all, give him that job seeking info and see how he goes.

I've read some of the comments on here GT and all I can say is you've done more than enough and you've got to let your friend get back on his feet on his own. Tell him to get a job, maybe if you feel guilty (which you shouldn't at all) you could help him get one but he needs to stop depending on you.
Best of luck GT you're a good man.

Thanks Lucas, that means a lot mate, likewise with yourself.
Regarding the job thing, I know at least one person who won’t talk to him as he set him up with a job and he didn’t show up, and he looked bad as a result. Someone else also set him up with one and he filled the form in in the pub, handing it in with beer rings and fag ash on it. You probably wonder why I’m his mate after all this, but he is a good bloke – it’s just we’re all tired of bailing him out and I personally am sick of being used in this manner. I am going to point him in the right direction with regards to work but even with this I will only do so much then it’s down to him.
I feel a lot better now anyway, you’ve all been very kind and I get to relax with my woman in a few hours and put this to the back of my mind.

Well that's great, do not worry about it you don't deserve to be taken advantage of. You know letting this guy work some stuff out on his own could actually do him a lot of good.

Late to answer and you guys don't know me much but if I can be so bold.....
GT....This bloke is not a true friend. He's a parasite preying on your kind nature to the extent that he knows how to make you feel guilty when you can offer him no more.
The easiest thing would be to tell him to "poke off" but you can't cos you are such a good bloke and it's not in your nature as you are one of life's genuine caring people..a rare breed.
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind... to be a true friend to him he needs you to say no or he won't ever try to get himself back on the straight and narrow
Everyone else is absolutely correct. Your auntie needs you and you deserve to give your girlfriend as much attention and love as you can.
This is not being selfish it's the right thing to do
Wish I had a mate like you !
