Question #77500 on grub in ubuntu changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

Tom proposed the following answer:
Ok, boot into a LiveCd session and with gparted resize the /home
partition down by a bit and resize the / partition up by a bit.  How
much free space have you got on the /home partition?  You are going to
need to leave quite a bit of space in there but you can resize it down a
bit :)

I would guess that you had a huge amount of updates and hopefully now
you'll have cleared off the downloads that Ubuntu tends to save against
a rainy day.  So really as long as you are reasonably careful you
shouldn't have too much problem from now on.  Are you installing stuff
through the package managers?  It's safer to stick with the package
managers.  If you don't want Office packages then uninstalling
OpenOffice would give you quite a bit more room ;)  AbiWord is good if
you only need a word-processor occasionally.  There are some other
fairly large apps you could try uninstalling to make a bit more space.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
