    Some useful ideas already but not sure why it's cheaper to live apart? We can help with cheaper food shopping but surely you'd save on other living expenses (rent etc) to live together?

    Presumably GF and babe get HB and CTB, whichh they wouldn't if they lived together ~ and single benefits are often more than couple benefits. Maybe OP lives/sleeps with parents?
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.
