    No point looking at rental places until you are ready to move out, as they go really quickly. Have you discussed how money would work after you move out, as obviously you won't be bringing in an equal ammount so you need to be sure you're on the same page before moving in together. Its no use one of you having loads of spare cash and the other scraping by trying to pay equally. But by the same token you don't want one person resenting the other for not pulling their weight.

    Okay, I've had less calories than that today! Have had 503 in total so far today. Have past my flapjack craving as I would rather have a proper tea.

    How have you managed on 503?! I'm completely famished on 600-odd!

    Nope, OH will be bringing in roughly 1/3rd more than me. Last time I spoke to OH about it the plan was as he gets paid once a month to use his for Rent, Bills ect then use my weekly wage to live off of during the month - Food, entertainment and such! Then anything left at the end of the month will be put into a joint saver for Holidays, Christmas, yadda yadda. (She says!) We almost share our money anyways, so it won't be such a big change.

    Co-op thai green curry - 375
    bio activia non fat yoghurt - 74
    tiny dribble of left over smoothie - 50
    A chocolate raisin - 4....

    okay, I'm a bit odd to only have one raisin.

    Sounds like you know what you'd do for money already, which is good.

    Sounds like a good plan Cinny. Are you thinking about moving in together next year? Exciting! and what about your Newcastle place Tete - are you still thinking of moving in with your OH? Would love to hear your plans.

    Sound slike a good idea to live together first Cinny by renting. Would be awful if you bought a place together and then it didn't work.

    I like the present idea Tete - I think they will appreciate something nice they can cherish.

    Well update on the proposal , OH is saying he isn't going to ask me on my birthday and it could happen anytime. At least now I won't be expecting it on my birthday, so can relax ... a little bit anyway hehe.

    I think that is better Wendz, you can relax now and enjoy your birthday! It will happen and it will be all the more special because you don't know when :)

    Evening everyone.

    Sounds like everyone has had busy days. Quite a busy day at work for me today, but im enjoying it so thats good. Not working tomorrow so will give me time to get on with some extra money making.

    I think its a good idea to rent together first Cinny - its exciting stuff thinking about all that for the first time!
