So i viewed the flat and was really happy with it and accepted it but now waiting for them to get back to me.

but tonight i started to feel scared, nervous and very anxious is this normal?

ive lived with my mum for 25 years and while i always expected to move on this came much quicker then i anticipated and ive been wondering if its the right decision?

Its fair to say i have no idea what im doing in regards to bills and im going about it all alone which is a worrying factor what if i forget to pay a bill?

Set up direct debits so the bills come out automatically so you cannot forget

Try not to worry about bills too much, most are really flexible now, like you can change due dates to most for the day you get paid I believe. I know Sky do something like this for sure because you can change the payment date from the set top box etc and stuff

Adam congrats on the new flat!

It's normal to be anxious and worried about such a big step, first speak to the housing officer, they will give you a ton of advice about bills, setting up your electric, gas and so on when you go to pick up the keys and sign the papers, they also give you some paperwork with emergency and useful numbers etc (at least they do here)

Dont worry too much, just enjoy the experience, things will fall into place.

Being nervous is normal, my son moved into his flat over a year ago now, he has direct debits for all his bills and gives a meter reading (though I have to prompt him ) so he is not over or underpaying gas and electric, you will get a discount for your council tax and down the line you can rent a room to help with the bills if you feel like you are overstretched
most people would give their eye teeth for the opportunity! sit down and do a budget, see where you can make savings on stuff you are paying for now, like can you live without Netflix for a bit, what do you pay for your phone, how many takeaways do you get, you might want to pull back on some of that stuff for a while, but it will be worth it to have your own place, 25 is not that young to move out, lots of people go to Uni at 18 and manage by themselves

Congrats!

2 years is a short time frame, unless your financial status drastically changes
