... at 28, almost 29 years of age!

I bet most of my school friends will be married with kids and left home a long time ago! Tomorrow is the final day of my 3 month notice served here in Nottinghamshire where I have worked for almost 5 years. I move in with my girlfriend tomorrow evening and start my new job in Hertfordshire on Monday! Some of you may recall the 'wish me luck' thread.

I have been packing the contents of my bedroom into several boxes all week and the whole thing has been borderline stress inducing to say the least! But I am getting there and I can't wait for Sunday evening to arrive because this whole transition should be well and truly over. To move into a new area and goto work somewhere else is quite a sudden change of lifestyle! Im sure the reality of this new lifestyle will take quite some time to sink in before it becomes routine procedure.

I guess it means I wont be on NFOrce as much either and probably not at all during the day which is a shame but life moves on and you have to move with it and go with the flow. Smile

May the NFOrce be with you always.

I really hope I will be leaving home soon. I want my own place so bad, but I dont want to live in england anymore. I need lots of money to move. I just spent my last 500$ on a presant for the GF too. I guess I wont be moving anytime this year at least..

Don't sweat it .. these days moving isn't a big change like it was years ago, you will still shop the same, party the same, find the same kinds of wankers & cool folks wherever you go in teh midlands. Its just a little warmer & wetter the more south you go towards London. Sadly the wildlife isn't as widespread as up north Sad



Welcome to the lower midlands, bout bloody time you ct the apron strings & shacked up with a lass Laughing

Word. I wouldnt go to newk though, If I absolutely have to stay in the UK I will go somewhere like cardiff. The welsh are there but hell, Cardiff is one amazing place to live for work + leasure.

newcastle isnt that bad much better than nottingham in regard to gangs of kids hanging around its very rare i see any gangs on street corners up here and i aparently live in one of the rougher areas.

people who live in nottingham probably dont realise how bad it is until they move to a different city

Just make sure you dont start behaving like you GF is your mother .. You know what comes of that .. you will make her one !!

Good luck & don't be afraid to dump her if she is a pain in the ass, you need to find your own legs in the big bad world. Living alone in your own place after leaving the parents place is I feel a very important part of growing up. Wink

No shit. But the ultimate solution is to live with your grandparents (if they are alive and good people tho Razz ) Very Happy. I live in the basement, so it feels like a real apartment. And my grandparents are a lot different than my parents, its just like im a regular person living there to them (except that they ask if I need any food and my clothes cleaned). I can have parties here too ^^

Anyway, good luck with moving out. I bet your parents are gonna call you a lot after you move, you mamas boy ^^

lol I am no mama's boy! Sure she will miss me and even said she doesnt want me to go so ... er maybe I am! Sad Although the way I see it, I would only be a true mama's boy if I wanted to stay with my mama! Wink

Yeah I would say grandparents are overly generous compared to parents. They always like to treat their grandchildren well! All mine are still alive too! I have yet to experience a funeral! *touches wood*

29? Damn son, thats pretty late around here...Smile
I moved out at the young age of 15 actually (thats NOT normal!) and now I'm soon to be 23.
Was living at home for almost a year at age of 19 thou.

Reason behind me moving out that early was my parent being a drunk who couldn't care less about what she was doing with her life at the time.

Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

That sounds harsh dude. I can understand why you left home at such an early age if that was the situation you were in. You say "your parent" and "she" so I assume you mean your mother, no?

Well I have just finished my shift of my last day where I have been employed for almost 5 years and now Im going to my gfs way down south! My future posts will be coming from Hertfordshire! At least for the new future! Smile

Must admit to you it sounds like you moving into another mothers home. Without any experince living alone it could be difficult for you to avoid getting dependent on her & thus becoming a burden. something you & she don't want Imo. I suggest you look into going to the gym or lining up some hobby or sport that will help you maintain your own authority in such a motherly climate. Especially if its her digs you will be living in. Don't want to piss on on your parade mate, just words to the wise from somebody who has made his fair share of mistakes. Plus I suggest you get to know her kids as soon as you can, so long as the kids cant depend on you for emotional support she will have no choice but to stay in mother mode & thus wont be able to be your woman. Its complicated, i know, but when you realize women need to know their children are sorted before they can even begin to be open to their man it makes sense.

Laughing? Very Happy Laughing

Yah thas pretty much true. If you share the responsibilities well enough you won't have any trouble adjusting. But if you grew up with your mum doing everything for you... then you're fucked big time. I'm still w/ my parents. or they're with me. I dunno yet. Laughing I own the hole we're living in... but i dunno still if i'm living with them or they're living with me... as i have no balls to kick them out and they're my parents and they're pretty much own me Laughing

anyway I lived by myself for couple months in detroit. Location didn't matter. What mattered is being able to take care of yourself. Same goes with living with a girl or a partner. If you know how to take care of yourself and not just rely on the other person, then you'll be fine. Once you can take care of yourself efficently you can take care of another person. That means cooking, cleaning, laundy, bills, etc. Just don't expect the girl to do everything cause she's a woman. It's a known fact, and it's true so stfu everyone, that men are better cooks than women Razz Same with other things. Mainly cause we're all trying to impress the other sex so we try really really really hard so we can get inside that very speshul hole Razz Razz Very Happy
