I wanted to enjoy as much as possible my experience abroad. That's why I spent quite a lot in travelling (I visited lots of places in United Kingdom), I also went out a lot to meet people again and again, I think it is the best way to improve your social life. On the other side i used to try to minimize my expenses in other categories like clothes, telephone...

Try to thing of one £ as 12 NOK, then some things will not look as cheap as you might think. Compared to Norway the prices are pretty much the same.

Line rental is cheaper than pay-as-you-go, rent place next to where you spend more time, buy day riders, travel during cheap hours, dont buy too much food - you will get bored of the same food and it will go bad

Travelling cost can be a bit on the expensive side, including accommodation, then in my home country; in monetary terms. Afterall, Pound Sterling was strong, and probably is now.
