me and my boyfriend have got a joint account to save for a house, so far we only have about £2500 after one year so we are still a long way off. I am living with my parents and he is renting with his mate, we have talked about renting together but I think renting is a waste of money for me if I can stay with my parents, and then I will have extra money to save, as although I can’t wait to live with him I would rather live with him when we have bought a house instead of paying 300 a month just to rent :\

Also I am living with 3 other people as opposed to 21 last year so I have less people to go out with. I also now have a part time job tuesday and friday and they are the most popular nights to go out on. My job is actually working in a bar and it does put you off alcohol when your clearing other peoples sick u… Read how I did it…

I deactivated my account on tuesday as I have lots of work to do; a 2000 word report to write and 4 exams to revise for.

the stayfocused thing didnt really work for me because i realised you could just disable it, so ive now changed my password to something really long and hard to remember and hopefully I wont go on it as much!
