Hey guys

Just to give you all the heads up for those who're interested I'll be offline completely from this Saturday or Sunday for the next 7-14 days due to moving out and having no Broadband access live yet, unless some numpty has unencrypted wireless access of course

I will be popping home to check my e-mail etc... but by and large I'm offline. I'll be able to catch up on loads of movies without the web to distract me

Good going on finally moving out of your mum's basement.

Enjoy your total independence.

Tell me about it, £550 for a flat, then add in food, water, electrics, general stuff and what not and your looking at £700/800 a month easy

thats a lot for renting a place to me.

He's just big-pimping his thai ladyboys

j/k Brad.

Congratulations on the new pad! And don't worry, we'll behave.

(Mark, LD... I expect a repeat of last year's war when Brad was brave enough to trust us to be mature and leave us on our own for a few weeks!)

Ok... so with Brad gone, this means 2 weeks of posting hardcore porn on this forum without fear of being banned, right!?

His "day-time work" is something like data entry for the police, so you can imagine whom pays him for "over-time".

The thing is it's not, unless you're prepared to just rent a room or live in a shit hole. It's just the way it is, you want to live somewhere nice you pay (location + building).

It all comes to about £900 taking into account petrol, which currently costs me £100 a month but will disappear rapidly when I find a job I can walk to. Of which I'm doing right now, finding a new job.

Water is about £15 a month it's a set price, electricity will be about £30, broadband + Telephone is a set £20 (Tiscali deal), food for me is about £60 (which is way lower than a lot of people spend), council tax is £84, TV license is £35 a quarter. I don't smoke, drink very little (compared to most people).

It's no wonder most people cannot afford to buy. I couldn't afford to buy in the city I'm moving to.

You'll realise too when you move out, it's not cheap. Most mortgages are £500-650 on average so really it's no different. I'm not planning to rent long term as that would be silly. Yes I could find a cheaper one bedroom place elsewhere (or a two bedroom place for about the same price) but the location would suck. You wouldn't necessarily get anything nicer too.

What you do get however (as many Bullets members already know) is complete independence, it's your place.
