    LC as uve said in a few of your posts your quite OCD about tidiness n stuff at home i can see you throwing wobbly after wobbly cleaning up after 2 others especially after doing long long hours like you do a lot of the time, would you really have any more physical and mental space?? could you really cope with mens boxers left on bathroom floor and men always miss the loo bowl lol:(... id definetely stay at home if your close to getting your own space rather than a few months of sharing but the call is yours :T nice to have options huh.....

    Hi guys

    Bit of a fail yesterday on a couple of counts - bought 2 packs of 10 cigs and a bottle of water - so fail on money and on smoking. Hey ho.

    Sun 22 Jan: True NSD
    Mon 23 Jan: AL, £6.51 Tesco, MOT from Car Fund budget,
    small fresh shop from Food budget
    Tue 24 Jan: AL, True NSD
    Wed 25 Jan: £7.39 2x 10 cigs and bottle water

    Planned - Thu 26 Jan: AL, NSD (although now going out for lunch with Dad so depends if he pays or not!!!)
    Planned - Fri 27 Jan: AL, NSD

    Total so far: £13.90/£15.60

    Today I'm going out for lunch with my dad, to a Thai restaurant he wants to go to (he's retired), but I'm not sure if he's paying or if we'll split it. If we split it then quite frankly I'm fairly screwed for the rest of the month (I get paid on Wednesday) but he'll enjoy it so that's what matters. Also I'll go over budget.

    Thanks for the extra inputs, yep it would annoy the heck out of me - but it was really a case of weighing up whether the money and time saving pros would outweigh the hygeine/sharing cons. They don't - I'm soooooooo staying put, hehe! (you all know me so well!!!)
