    Ahh good idea, where abouts are you moving to?
  • Ecton, just outside Northampton itself.
    Hoping to grow veg etc, but doubt that will offset the cost of gas.... :/

    Whereabouts will you be based?

    I'm going back to Kettering where I've spent most of my life!! Figured it would be best to be somewhere familiar and where I know a fair few people! (I'm not too far away from there now)

    Good luck with your move :D

    Hi I just want to say take every day as it comes. I live on my own and like most people I have good and bad days. I save a fortune on books by going to my local library (they will order most books for you to read for 50p - a good way to check if you really want the book). The library will also have the details of local clubs etc a great way to meet people. Stay safe and keep happy. You may also want to give a spare key to someone you trust (saves you having to pay a lock smith if you lose your key lol) x

    Can't contribute much myself as I still live with my parents but I just wanted to drop by and thank you for making this thread, it'll come in handy when I move out myself!

    I hope your move to your new home goes smoothly :)
    Thank you competition posters!
