No probs :D
Living with two chicks = 
You can probably get out of most cooking (assuming they can cook) by offering to do the washing up, but you're probably still going to have to wash and iron for yourself. And at least do some cleaning (mow the lawn, that's pretty easy) :D |

4 things for you to know jizza:
1) Milk Crates - these are a godsend!!! Need a table - 4 crates and a bit of chipboard - done! Need some more chairs - milk crate with a pillow on top - Done! Need a book shelf or desk - Yep Milkcrates are your man!! Acquire as many of these beauties as you can - its not a sharehouse if it doesnt contain at least 15 milk crates! (i currently have 4 milk crates stacked under my stereo as its support, 2 milk crates for my books, a milk crate for the laundry basket, 4 milk crates (with special foam top) for seats out the backyard, and about 8 milk crates for storing the bottles of our home brew kit! Milk crates never go out of fashion!! :D
2) Get a hold of "He Died With A Felafel In His Hand" by John Birmingham! He explains the true intricacies of sharehouse living.... ;) :D
3) On a more serious note, if u r a non-smoker and dont want to live with a smoker. Dont move in (or let one move in to your place) with a smoker even if they say they will smoke outside only. It never lasts! After 2-3 weeks the person will feel that the house is as much thiers as anyone elses and from that point on your house will smell like the inside of a crematorium!! Trust me just dont do it!!
4) Anything you take to the house becomes house property - im not going to explain this, its one of the joys (:rolleyes: )of sharehouse living, ill let you discover it on your own!! ;):D |

my tips;
have your name on as little bills as possible. if you cant get out of it, shortest term possible. this means if you want to move on, ie, your flatmates suck, you can do so quite easily.
dont move in with friends, if you fight heaps, youll lose friends, if u move in with ppl that u dont know, doesnt matter if you leave on bad terms, you havent lost anythig.
be easy going, give more than u take (err or whatever), like if someone doesnt do their night of cooking or whatever, just let it go. dont make issues out of stupid matters, they build and fights happen more.
but obviously if someone isnt putting in, make sure they know.
and seriously, cook yourself, its so easy to get into habit of getting chinese / subway / pizza, but you go through load of $$s.
hrmm, go see ure parents on sundays or something "to keep in contact" but really, for a free meal - home cooking never tasted so good....
yer, living out of home is wicked, just expensive. |
