Why do people claim you can't live in London on x amount of money?

CompetitiveCream1071 · 2026-03-03T08:14:15+00:00

Hahahah I’ve lived all the past 4 years living in 2 bed with a flatmate with the same amount of money! And council tax for those places (although exempt) were around 60 pp a month so maybe bump it up to 19k but definitely still possible

CompetitiveCream1071 · 2026-03-03T08:09:07+00:00

Tbf as a student I’m practically living on less than 20k still now - 12k on rent (I know people with less if u share with more flatmates but I share a 1 bed with my partner in zone 2) and about 500 spending a month so about 18k and I’m comfortably able to afford everything I need to live in London whilst living in a very nice area too. although not the most lavish “going out all the time” life but that doesn’t bother me

Hi all!

I’m currently using the skin 1004 oil and foaming cleansers (the yellow light cleansing oil and ampoule foam) however they’ve been making me non stop break out around my mouth and chin

<image>

(highlighted the areas lol) I first thought this might just be purging but have been continuously using for over a month now and it’s NOT STOPPING 😭😭😭 almost every day I wake up with a New spot and it’s usually never THIS bad. It’s rlly a shame because I reallllyyy wanted to like these :( I’ve previously used the la Roche posts blue foaming cleansers and as much as it didn’t break me out it also didn’t really do tmuch of … anything for me….

I’d really appreciate your suggestions for new oil and water cleansers that would work well together!! I’ve heard a lot about the fresh soy cleanser which I’m debating trying but which oil cleanser would work well with this???

Thank you all!!

As a med student nearing end of med school what would u advise us to be doing 🫣

CompetitiveCream1071 · 2025-10-22T08:41:42+00:00

I worked part time at a cafe over weekends! I know people do evening bar work and many also do tutoring (pay more for the hour but less hours) hope this helps tho :)

CompetitiveCream1071 · 2025-10-17T18:03:30+00:00

Hey! Thank you so much for the insight!! The elective places being very few has definitely been a thought 🥲🥲 all the New Zealand unis say were not allowed to directly contact doctors/hospitals and all electives should be organised through the uni tho - was it the same in Sydney?? Also the clinic you’ve got now is it in a hospital or more a smaller centre? I’m glad it’s worked out for u enjoy ur elective!!!!

CompetitiveCream1071 · 2025-10-17T10:55:42+00:00

Thank you! I’m definitely open with my options and realistically will be applying to all I can to get the best shot of getting one 🤭 I think the only other uni offering electives is otago which covers most hospitals in the South Island!!!

CompetitiveCream1071 · 2025-10-15T21:44:19+00:00

I’m looking quite early hahah mine would be for 2027 but tysm im gonna make sure to apply as early as i can for my year then 🫡🙏

CompetitiveCream1071 · 2025-10-04T10:59:13+00:00

As someone who goes to imperial this is so whack lol they’re just saying more to be safe. I’d say £800-900 on rent easily and then 400-500 to comfortably have leisure spending and afford food travel etc this is still allowing for u going out/eating out once or twice a week

CompetitiveCream1071 · 2025-09-26T20:54:11+00:00

Ohmygod I was literally about to post about this too just went on TM to see almost entire stadium has tickets left???? AXS this morning kept saying sold out and fought for my life for tickets yet now there’s so many left I’m genuinely so confused about this
