I've just watched a youtube vid where the guy said he still doesn't cook his own food and for some reason this topic came into my head.

I suppose there are two kinds of moving out though, Did you leave when you got married or did you leave and move into a place on your own?

For myself I'd previously been kicked out for being a bit of a naughty teenager I suppose and went into a bedsit for almost a year. It wasn't to bad as I was closer to my friends and where we hung out was just across the road ( the park ) but getting to work was a hassle as I was used to the bus stop being just outside the door or just walking it as it was only a mile down the road. Now I had to walk for 15mins down the busy main st of the area to get the the bus stop that would get me to work.
I had take aways most nights after work and buying the essentials wasn't too bad, as my mum had previously started making me buy my own stuff and taking a 3rd of my wages (dig money)

When I moved back home again in the winter as the only source of heat I had in the bedsit was a convec heater thing that ran away with the leccy meter ( £1 an hour to run it) I tried to act the big man saying I would be treated the same etc....I forget so long ago.

6 years later I got my own little flat and i'm still here, Moved in poor with a bank loan etc, A year later I got a new job paying double what I was getting previously.... end of chapter one :P

What about the rest of you? I could type more but i'll save it for later lol.
