i always seem to have money for alcohol, but never money for anything else. once u start renting you realise how expensive things are, £1.29 for 3 peppers?! and i go home in ever holiday and make my parents do a big shop for me (im so self sufficient lol)
the problem with renting with other people is you have no control over bills, last year i had horrendous housemates and the bills were £200 a quatre in some months, whereas this yeah they've never been above £140 and that was in the depths of winter, and they're usually £95-115.

and you;ve gotta pick your housemates really well

Don't live with anymore than two women, as fun as it sounds - waterbills, phone bills, getting in the bathroom, arguments..your not allowed to walk past the toilet while they're in or you get shouted at. nightmare

I've been offered to move in with 3 friends in the Summer, which it will be awesome if I can afford it all, but £600 between 4 plus leccy and internet so be about £200 a month for me which will be deal if I get the job I'm after whilst at uni

Just as you said, renting you don't get any closer. However is theres enough money for petrol no worries.

My ideal would be to get a house somewhere a bit out of town (not too far at all)with good mates/girlfriend with a nice garage and a nice twisty road there ! Like neeja said
