yummy yummy! that is ridiculously expensive, even for London, in halls I paid £390 a month or so but food was included. I pay about £350 a month in a house but obviously you've got to put bills on top of that. I'd look into flat sharing but not knowing anyone it may be difficult. :) failing that where I live is ~30-60 mins away from central London so you could come live with me! haha. we already have one herbivore in the house.
Yip, I think it's because Bloomsbury is literally about as central as you can get! I reckon that if I'm spending that amount of money, I can get a pretty decent flatshare in the same area - I just had a really quick look on Gumtree and have found loads for the same price (all inc) but with double rooms :P I'd better get saving! Where abouts were your halls? I wouldn't mind travelling a bit as I've got my bike anyway, so if/when I get accepted I think I'll just spend a couple of days in the city having a snoop around and see what I can find :) Thanks for the offer, too, haha! I'll keep you in mind when it comes to it, and maybe try to persuade you to move into central London next September so I'd have one flatmate sorted ;)
haha yeah Russell Square is the closest tube I think? that's like... ridiculously central London, next to Tottenham Court Rd! Gumtree is the mutt's nuts for finding things, especially free stuff! ~£650 a month is fricking expensive though, although I'd probably be looking at that here too if I wanted to live on my own, unless I was going to live in someone else's house & pay board

It certainly is! In Manchester I was paying £360 a month for halls (excluding internet), so £640 is a huge jump :S Do you think you'll stay in London for your PGCE? I think that training in an inner city school will mean that anything I do after that will seem like an absolute breeze ;) How did you find your flatmates this time? I'm absolutely fine with moving in with people I don't know; my ex did it and whilst it wasn't total plain sailing and he couldn't wait to move out, it was just about liveable. I"m definitely going to have to get a job in London whilst I"m doing the PGCE, so that could be interesting and stressful! I need to sit down and work out the money side properly, really...EFFORT.
well that's interesting, I only paid a little bit more in South West London for my halls & that included food (but not Internet) so hey, maybe I live in a slightly cheaper area despite the fact that Richmond is supposed to be one of the poshest & most expensive boroughs. :p

Haha yeahhhh I'm hoping that less fancy schools will be ok with my tattoos/piercings/stretched lobes, so I may be able to get my half sleeve/chest piece :P I'm with you on getting a job in somewhere vegan-y! I used to work in a vegan cafe and loved it, especially when people would be all shy and ask what was vegan out of the selection, and I could just say "It's alllllllll vegan! Eat what you like!!" and they'd squeal a bit and leave with full tummies :D
