kat14 is verified as being by the original poster of the question SORRY I $GOT 2 LOG ON! i told my mum last night, we had a girly night without my step dad. she didnt say much. she asked how were we gonna aford it and i explianed how. Then she kinda went quiet, i said its not deffinate it still depends on alot of things and i wanted to check you were ok with it. would you give me abit of money a month as you wouldnt be buying me food?she replied i dunno and went quiet again. I asked if i'd upset her and she said yes. then we kinda forgot about it and had abit of a laugh. Where do i go from here? is being upset better or worse then her shouting at me?

 I agree with flower girl, talk to her about it before you get the flat rather than later, this shows maturity on your behalf.
Choose a good time and just tell her that you really like this guy and want to live together. She will either be totally against it, or be happy for you. If its the first don't fall out with your Mum over it, she loves you and wants the best for her daughter. Parents never stop loving and caring for their children no matter how old they get.
Good luck x

 I think she would have more respect for you as a growing adult if you talked to her about it before he gets the flat, but be prepared for her to say she is not happy about it.
You have to apprieciate that she is going to be concerned as you are still her little girl.
Just tell her what you wanted to do and ask her for her opinion.
Take care.xx.
