About a third?
Maybe less, maybe more like a quarter.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 15:57, Reply)

I don't think I could get anywhere decent for a quarter of our wage.
This looks good though.

There'll only be two of us, I'm moving in with the girlfriend.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:06, Reply)

So you'll have two spare bedrooms. OH MAN, you can turn one into a "high end gaming centre"!
Does she know you're going to be unemployed?
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:08, Reply)

I won't be unemployed, if I lose my job I have two offers to go to straight away.
Neither are "step ups" though, so I'm looking around.

Ahhh.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:09, Reply)

Why do you want 3 bedrooms and a garage?
Seems silly for 2 people.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:10, Reply)

They seem to be the same price as two bedroom places to be honest.
And I think we'd need two bedrooms at least.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:11, Reply)

Deffo two at least, what about shops and stuff like that?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:12, Reply)

The closer you are to the shops the more expensive it gets.
To the point that if you got taxis every week to and from the shops you'll still save money.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:15, Reply)

I mean local shops, rather than supermarkets or a city-centre.
Woudldn't that conviniance be worth losing a room for?
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:18, Reply)

There'll be a Tesco express or a one stop nearby, they're everywhere

(PsychoChomp, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:25, Reply)

I'd check up on that first.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:45, Reply)

Wouldn't it be better to move down the road from me so it's easier for me to have an affair?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:11, Reply)

I'll run it past her.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:12, Reply)

Good man, give her a wink as you tell her.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:12, Reply)

Actually it looks fucking awful from the outside.
But nice kitchen.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:04, Reply)

looks like a tedious bog standerd rental kitchen, fine for it's purposes

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:05, Reply)

Exactly, but at least it's not like a galley kitchen, there's space for a table.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:08, Reply)

Because I'm thinking of moving.
There seems to be the choice of nice new appartments for about £850-£1000 a month, and not as nice 2 bedroom houses, but they have a garden and or garage for £650-£800.
Homebrew in the garage may be a motivation.

Just less than half and i don't even get oak flooring : (

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 15:59, Reply)

My floor is made of pine
we sanded and varnished it ourselves. Some of them are quite thin now.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 15:59, Reply)

to much weight on the sander eh?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 16:01, Reply)

Next to nothing.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 15:58, Reply)

Because you live in a yurt?

(Bazongaloid, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 15:59, Reply)

I guess all the cost is upfront when you build a yurt

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 15 Jan 2013, 15:59, Reply)

Yeah FUCK OFF WITH YOUR YURT JOKES I WAS HERE FIRST!

Almost as bad as when Bono clicks his fingers on stage.

"stop clicking your fingers then"

I wish that was a true story.

A bit over a third of take-home
seems reasonable. When I move the mortgage works out less but I have to pay the service charge so it comes out around the same amount.
