I'm leaving my parent's house

edited February 2010 in Chit chat
My cousin returned after 2 years from UK and he wanted to live apart of his parents, me too, we've found a 1 room flat here nearby, everything was so quick, now I hold in my hand the rent contract for this flat for one year. It is signed by me, we pay 360eur a month, we are moving there this saturday. So I will live with my cousin, the disadvantage of that is that he is snoring during night

There will be my computer and his laptop, the internet access from beginning we will have through mobile phone connected to pc via usb cable, it's just 150 - 200 kbit/s , it's from O2, it's for 6eur unrestricted internet access.

So, big changes in my life, I'm looking for it and in the same time I am afraid of it...what will happen if we will not have enough money.

    ...If you run out of money, you'll run out of food... and if you run out of food... well, then you better hope that your cousin has lots of meat on him...

    ...Mmmmmm...[munch]....

    ...Seriously though... If you budget well, you shouldn't run out... Always look ahead, save more than you spend, and buy cheaply and you'll not go far wrong...

    ...and if you ever do run out... ..it pays to stay on good terms with your family and friends... After all, thats what they're there for...

    It would probably be a good idea, right from the start, to work out what you income and outgoings are now. That way, you'll at least have peace of mind or know in advance whether or not you'll likely encounter problems... Money problems are not the sort of thing you want to be finding out when the wallet is empty - its a bit late then!... These are things you should be able to predict in advance... So go work out your money situation now, and then you'll know for sure whether you'll run out or not... These are questions you need to settle BEFORE you move really...

    Is that 360 euros total ? Between two ? Sounds superb, obviously i know prices are different there but i wish that was the type of money i paid for a flat !

    Think you'll have a superb time. I didnt leave home for years as i lived down south and it took me agesssss to save up a deposit for a flat (no handouts from mummy or daddy for me !). Times were tough but i had a great time

    The 360eur is : rent, energy(electricity+warm in house), water, landline, but we cannot call from landline, we can just receive calls, all calls we must pay ourselves. There is not gas in that house, kitchen is just electric. Each of us pays 180, the flat is without a balcony, just one room, one kitchen and separated toilet and bathroom.

    don't worry so much it will be great. no noe runs out of money and starves to death anymore. not since pawn shops and rent boys became popular.

    why don't you come to england like your cousin, you could travel the country meeting different wossers.

    Surely leaving home, running out of money and eating just pasta shells with black pepper for a week is what always happens! Enjoy this exciting and liberating time my friend, its a steep learning curve but you get there in the end.

    Pasta shells with black pepper?! What a luxury!

    When I first left home, I only ate black pepper for months.

    I'm not so adventural character like my cousin, he is so vital, that he will survive even if ice cubes fell down from the sky. This circumstance with his return from UK is for me great oportunity to make independence of my parents.

    The funny thing is you get a taste for that kind of thing and never give it up, that`s what I found anyway. It is like the eating of wet cardboard, once you try it, you start to think of all of the tasty dishes you can make with it, I use my socks for cleaning the dishes, they give everything a cheesy taste.

    I ain't from Glasgow! I'm from Motherwell (North Lanarkshire!)
    Mind you, there ain't much difference between the cities, they're both full of neds!:smile:

    I love the different words used ! I presume 'ned' is like a chav ? Or skally as they say in Liverpool ?

    The bread bap thing is bizarre, down south its a roll or bap, midlands it was a batch, up north a cob. Didnt have a clue when i was at a breakfast van once in the midlands and he was asking about a batch ?!

    lol, i see wht you mean, but it just sounds normal to me as ive said it all my life.

    rolls are those little crusty things.

    tea cake is right though, like a barmcake or a flat cake. (all bread)

    I moved out of my mums when I was 25. I did not become fully myself untill that time. I think it completed me as an adult.

    My confidence improved and I began to get at least somewhere with the ladies when and if I wanted to.

    Unfortunately this time cooinsided with a four year relationship (which never worked out in the end) which meant I didn't use this new found ability very much untill in my late 20's, but by then I wanted to settle down, thats when I met my wife.

    Can't a man be happily married these days without being condemned for it?

    I can't pretend she doesn't exist, she's a big part of my life.
