Can you rent a flat for 70/wk irchester?
As it happens I did once look at a small bedsit in irchester when I was working in Wellingborough. Think that was only 250/month 6ish years ago. |

|
By:
£220/week and you can have your own flat and run a car and still have a few quid left to get p.ssed. not so bad is it tbf.
|

By:
shopping £ 35 a week
----------- You are gonna get sick of baked beans, soup, spaghetti, i hope there is a Tesco nearby you. |
|
By:

|
By:
£35/week easy enough for food shopping. spose you need cleaning products and toiletries and general homecare stuff too. but still easy.

council tax is a bit steep for a single person ?
|
|
By:
sorry, that is about right ...mine is 18.50 d'oh for a flat
|
|
By:
25% discount for a single person
|
|
By:
20/wk = 87/month. if that is after 25% discount then that means it would be about 116/month which is about £1400/year. Seems a bit steep for a flat which can be rented for 70/wk. wouldn't be surprised if it was closer to £10/wk after the 25% discount
|
|
By:
Sorry, irchester, I do not know your cirmcumstances but can only recommend to men that they get their own flat as soon as possible. Women are naturally homemakers, except for me, and if you have got your own flat, even rented, it would make a difference. It is also a good line to say to a girl that you can cook and why doesn't she come to dinner and a dvd at your place? It would save you a fortune in meals and drinks out.

what if he is gay?
|
|
By:
Is he? The same would apply as a lot of gay men are just women with a man's body, so would also be a homemaker. You can see this effect in Brighton where you see lots of gay couples in all the expensive cookery and interior shops.

Good food and expensive food don't always have to go hand in hand .
It is knowing what to do with the raw produce when you get it ;) A good cookbook will start you on your way :) |
|
By:
Same with wine ....my all time favourite is 4.79 a bottle .
Cheap enough to drink one bottle a day at those prices . |
|
By:
money dont go very far though. you can go in the supermarket and spend £50 without buying ANY food or drink. shower gel...body spray...toothpaste...mouthwash...washing up liquid...washing umm whatever theyre called the things you put in the washing machine thats not powder...sh1t roll...tissues...kitchen roll...kitchen foil...all things you dont think about but cost a fortune when its all added up
