Tell us how much it costs to be single in the UK

We’d like to find out more about the cost of being single and how much people pay compared to the cost for couples, or people with children. How much do you pay for your rent, mortgage, bills, holidays or entertainment? If you have paid a single supplement, how much did it cost? Do you have any concerns?
