Living alone

Just don't buy a Wilson branded football and you may just end up being fine :)
 
I live on my own in a 1 bed apartment.

It's nice to have your own space and make your own agenda, but socially I sometimes find it quite lonely. My mates aren't always out or they can't always come round and that can get fustrating. I have girls round (real ones) to watch movies and stuff which is good, but then they always have to go in the morning or if i'm unlucky in the night and I'm faced with the same solitude. Catch 22 as I don't want the enforcement of a relationship but the freedom to not care or be cared for sometimes aches.

And that's the truth.

I wouldn't live on my own, being able to split the council tax, energy and rent bills means it is usually cheaper, and you can share meals and some food.

I live with my brother and 2 mates, it is a big house so we only have to be near each other in the kitchen if we want but still mainly sit in the lounge in the evening. The main arguments come from cleaning up and eating each others food. nothing major.

I am pretty anti social but not completely anti social, by living with people it means i have people to chat too occasionally when I don't want to go out. If I lived on my own I would have to go out more. You would have to be really anti social to live on your own or you would have to have friends close. I don't want to be alone every evening throughout the week and I consider myself pretty anti social lol.
 
I live alone. It's not something that's always enjoyable. I play games or read books when I feel bored. Work, shopping, cooking, cleaning can consume a lot of my time. I know people can easily get depressed living alone. Just enjoy yourself and don't let yourself go down that path.
 
I'll be living on my own in a few weeks time once I moved out from the parents house into my own place!

I prefer my own company, so it'll be good to finally get a bit more space to myself.
 
I'm living alone atm as my bf has moved to LA to work for a while (could be up to 3 years!). I miss him but luckily Skype means we can talk lots. I go out with my friends and I've got lots of uni work to keep my busy.
I actually don't mind living on my own. I've got a lot more me time, which is good as exams are coming up. The tiny amount of washing and dishes to do is so minimal that all the housework is pretty much done every night and I don't have to worry about it. I'm also a bit of a recluse so it doesn't bother me if I go days without speaking to anyone. I've got my pets to keep me company, and they hold a better conversation that most people. :p
Obviously, I'd much rather he was here, but I don't hate living on my own.
 
done it for couple of years after split up and i loved it, do want you want

night in nights out, come downs a bit boring sometime :) , i played bf2 for like 20hrs a day on my week off.

i found as long as i got a bit of female action now and then I was happy as larry.
 
I've lived on my own for just over 2 years now, lived with my girlfriend before that for a few years. It's great, can live exactly as you want, and do as you please. My place is exactly as I want, no clutter anywhere, and Xbox, tv/blu-ray and computer all available 24/7. Does get a bit lonely sometimes - Just make sure you've got a hobby that gets you out the house!

Whereabouts in Sleaford are you moving too, it's where I went to school!! Can't say I really miss it though.

the only thing that really bugs me is people living at home until they are 30+, pay just board, and in that time get to save up as much as they want and then just walk into a nice new house.

This is my current plan, and to be honest I can't see why it'd annoy you. Everybody benefits from the arrangement; you get a cheap place to live while you save for the future, and your parents get help paying the bills. I intend to stay here until I've built my career to a level at which I can feel confident that I'll be able to pay the mortgage etc when I do buy my own place. If the opportunity is there, why not take advantage of it? I don't feel ashamed of it, nor should anybody else.
 
The ability to sit on the sofa eating cereal from the box in yesterdays shreddie - damn straight living alone is a blast!

Depends on your personality, do you crave people being around or do you prefer peace and quiet?
 
Im currently living alone in a 4 bedroom house. I don't like it much, but I think its mainly because i've just split up with my GF of 3 years (who I lived with for 2) Currently im just focusing on decorating the rooms.

Parents live in Spain now, and I let myself alienate most of my friends (except the close ones) because of my relationship. Live and learn I guess. Even though I have all these spare rooms i'd rather not live with a stranger, so I think i'll be living alone for a while.

I live alone (Well in a block with about 15other people who i don't know)

It does sometimes get abit lonely if there is nothing happening on ocuk :p

On the plus side you can invite people over for poker nights/drinks/blu-ray night etc so its quite good in that respect :)

I lived alone for about 8 months, it was fine. I quite enjoy my own space, but it did make life a little more expensive (bills etc...). It was advantageous for being naughty and also having the things the way you want.

I guess it depends what sort of person you are and how you cope with your own company.
 
i moved into a place on my own i could barely afford with the premise that the girlfriend would move in at some point. no longer with her, so massive rent, council tax, bills, etc. are going to start weighing heavily on me. not fun. plus the TV aerial is screwed, so no tv or proper internet connection (on a dongle). I do have friends fairly close by, but they work odd hours and are generally pretty busy. sometimes i think its a good thing i work 12-14 hours a day! hehe
