Mydirect debits for house stuff = £985 a month minus £200 loan so thats £785, no TV licence or sky in that lot though, 2 bed semi living on my tod so keeps the bills down a bit and get the council tax reduced by 25%
when I moved in I had fuck all left to buy a lot really, only managed to bring the stuff I had from my dads so the house looked a bit bare for a while, soon fills out though if you buy little bits every month and stuff.
