Pack your bags and leave. Your Mum supported you through university and gave you a far better life than many of your fellow students. Why on earth should she subsidize you any further-you presumably left university with a degree and have or intend to have a job.
If I were your Mum I'd be helping you pack and wondering how I raised such a selfish spoiled brat.
Before you burn your bridges with your Mum completely though perhaps you should find out just what rent, council tax, gas, electric will cost you in your area and you might realise that £150 a month is a bargain and if you have plans to save to travel it's your best bet-assuming your Mum still WANTS you in her home !

Dead right, don't put up with it a moment longer.
:rotfl:
I wonder what age she thinks her Mum SHOULD support her until.
Retirement or maybe until she can find some poor bloke to leech off instead.
If it wasn't so pathetic it'd be laughable.
If I was her mother I'd be utterly ashamed to have raised such a waste of space.

I presume you're working if your mum has asked for £150 per month.
Your first paragraph does seem to suggest that you're on a wind-up (you didn't share a flat with Student Phil, did you?) but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for the time being.
There's your bags. Your Mum packed them for you.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yes it's hard to pass on that hard earned cash, but she pays £700 rent, some ridiculous amount of council tax + bills etc, coming to around £1200 a month. So really I'm paying a meger amount of that. If I was living away from home I'd be paying at least £300 a month rent (shared with BF) plus all those bills etc, so I'm just glad to have that extra money for the moment...
£150, if you are working is NOTHING compared to how much you'll be paying if you move out.
If you're not working, get a god damn job! Save up that dosh that you're saving by living at home and be GRATEFUL that she paid your way during uni, there's no way my mum would've done that.. It must've cost a fortune.
Sorry, where do you intend to live if you move out? Have you arranged for someone else to take you in, or will you be getting your own place? I wonder what you'll get for less than £150 a month...
People people people it is a wind up.
