I’m currently looking for my own flat so that I can finally move out of my parents’ home. Although it’s great to think about the newfound independence and freedom that I’ll achieve, it also brings with it a whole new world of responsibility. All the things that I currently take for granted will become my whole world (Well, I hope not actually my whole world). Like, at the moment, my dinner is waiting for me when I get home from work, my washing, ironing – all done for me, and I don’t actually contribute to the household bills whatsoever (my bad – but they never ask!!).

All that will soon change – not only will I have to make my own dinner (shock, horror ), but I’ll have to BUY all the ingredients too! I’m sure my evenings from now on will involve some sort of housework, joy. And when it comes to bills, I guess I can say goodbye to most of my monthly salary from now on! Plus I’ll need to be sensible and make sure I save some money for emergencies, after all who knows when I’ll need to spend out for boiler repairs in Kent,. Hang on, I think I should stop now, I’m starting to talk myself out of this! Hmm… I wonder what mum’s doing for dinner tonight?
