I probably haven't spent more than £5 in my life on presents for mates. £50 quid a year on family at christmas, and I begrudge doing that - £1/week ffs
Stay where you are until you have a good job and have some money saved up.
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.

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

£35/week easy enough for food shopping. spose you need cleaning products and toiletries and general homecare stuff too. but still easy.
Poundshop, Soaps, toothpaste, demestos, shampoo, toilet/kitchen rolls etc
sorry, that is about right ...mine is 18.50 d'oh for a flat
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
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.
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.
I'm awaiting Irchester's book on money saving tips round the home ;)
irchester has aspergers syndrome and dyspraxia. so well done on all the above.

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 :)

don't forget you government advised pesion contribution of 200-300 a month from the age of 20
ditch the car unless its absolutely necessary - they are a money pit
get a bicycle and get out in the fresh air
the best way to save money on food is to learn to cook (stews, curries, bolognese etc) - make enough to last 3 days and keep any leftovers in the fridge.
Having to concentrate on cooking a meal may also help with your aspergers
Good luck - you can do it
