We went and looked at the flat last night, all i can say is that its amazing. The place is massive, and for £540 p/m its a steal, i'd be an idiot not to take up the offer! | |

you could just get the lowest tv package with virgin, then pay out 100 ish quid for a vox box and get all the channels free. :thumbs: Thats what all my mates have done. | |

The've both got various deals on all the time, if you watch alot of TV then get Sky, VM TV is a bit shit & ive had about 3 boxes brake down on me. | |

Yeh Virgin is who i was thinking of, but their BB doesn't appeal to me at the moment and its roughly the same price as BT/Sky combo so not sure yet. | |

quote: Yeah i understand what you mean Colin about the car situation, both of us have recently got new cars within the past 3 months as well and we would both need our own as our families live diff directions etc, ideally 1 car would be best but at the moment its not an option £40 for your Tv/BB/Phone whose that with? Do you have cable/sky tele? Our Gas/Elec shouldn't be too high as were not there all day its jsut the evenings really, so i think ours would be roughly £40 for gas and Elec We'd probablly look at paying TV liscence and Contents in one payment as well, as then its one less bill a month! | |

If its a flat, are their any 'maintenance' charges to the block that will be incurred aswell? I pay £80 a month for those on mine :( | |

quote: We said abotu £150 a month between us both, last year with my 2 mates it was usually like a big shop once a month then bought little things if needed on the fly type thing. Good thing is as theres only 2 of us we would eat together etc, wouldn't need to buy 2 packs of things to feed 3 people etc. Colin i don't think were in a position to just get one car i'm afraid! I've been looking at different options aswell for things like Sky/Broadband etc. I need broadband due to my line of work (graphic design). We decided we would only need certain channels for sky which adds up to £18 a month (no movies or sports) and instead of £25 a month for BT broadband i saw Sky BB is £10 a month if were in a Sky area, which i think we are. Certain bills we don't know 100% due to amount of usage etc so its hard to work out. The workings out i've done roughly are Rent - £530 Council tax - £90-100 (Tax Band A) Gas - £40ish in winter and prob £10ish in summer Leccy - £35 Contents insurance - £20ish usually (is this monthly or yearly) Water - £30ish TV License- £12 (possibly look at paying it in one go) Broadband - £24.99 (from BT) / £10 if Sky Home phone - £10.50 Line rental and BT’s Unlimited Weekend Plan (which is free) Sky - £36 or £18 without movies with £30 one off installation payment. (Sky package includes Movies/Music/Entertainment/Style which is food etc/Kids) Food - £150 a month Fuel - £40-60 to/from work (6.5 miles from flat to work so about 12 a day so 60 a week) Thats about £1000 so 500 each. Ill be left with about £300 spare a month to get things i want etc. | |

Yeh i know what you mean, last year ii rented a 3bed house with 2 mates and we each put £500 a month in which wasn't to bad as my loan and ins wasnt as much as this year. | |

I would say thats plenty, when you get your own place you tend to find you enjoy quiet nights in etc anyway, so don't tend to spend as much on going out. | |
