    Not hey bonus, that should IMO be one of your priorities, its that ridiculously low as it is u shud not NOT pay this. You pay £20 a week thats nothing!!!

    If my parents are fine with it why should I pay more? I mean if they ask me to pay more I will but its like going to your landlord and saying 'want some extra rent?'

    The very least you could do is pay the agreed amount without them having to ask you for it.

    I only pay £120 a month rent and I make sure that Standing Order for that money happens on the first of the month! Last thing I need like a whole in the head is to pee my rents off and they up the rent.. meaning less money for my debt and the longer I have to stay living here!

    I agree you should set up a timely arrangment to your parents. You could live to regret not doing it!!!

    I do usually have a standing order... it was only that one month but thanks for judging me everyone. In fairness its up to my parents how much they charge me...

    We can only comment on the information you give us Matt.

    You did ask for our input :confused:
