[QUOTE=El_Jameo;51925994]My old man said when he was a student they split it based on floor space in each bedroom. Whoever had the best room paid most, etc. Bit of a weird way of doing it but whatever works for you.[/QUOTE] Sounds fun. Could do it like this: [QUOTE] 2 People Living Rent = £500 p/month Living Room: 50% area (communal) Kitchen: 20% area (communal) Bedroom Person 1: 20% area Bedroom Person 2: 10% area Communal = ((Living Room 50% area + Kitchen 20% area) / People Living) = 35% each. Person 1 = 35% + 20% area = 55% Person 2 = 35% + 10% area = 45% Person 1 pays £275 p/month for rent (55%) + (total other bills / people) Person 2 pays £225 p/month for rent (45%) + (total other bills / people) [/QUOTE] Or not.
Unless there's a major discrepancy I.e. one bedroom is basically a cupboard and the other is king sized, it's not worth the hassle and potential fallout of trying to divide up money. [editline]7th March 2017[/editline] Next year we are each putting rent and a flat amount into an account each month. Any leftover stays in the account for rainy days etc, at the end it gets divided between the six of us evenly.

[QUOTE=Doozle;51925841]Real talk tho don't move into a house with 4 girls.[/QUOTE] My friend did this thinking he'd be the next Hugh Heffner, until one of them shit on the toilet seat.
So apparantly informing the job centre that you're out of work isn't the same as informing the job centre that you're out of work so my closed claim was closed "legitimately" so now I need to make a new claim and have my months of job searching be backdated because there's a difference between the job centre and the job centre.
[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;51930479]My friend did this thinking he'd be the next Hugh Heffner, until one of them shit on the toilet seat.[/QUOTE] I don't think there was any horrors like that, but finding matted hair balls was a never ending occurance. There was that timebl I fell asleep on the sofa wearing my dressing gown, when I woke up in the morning, my gown had come open with my knob just hanging about while there was 4 girls standing in the doorway giggling. That was the day I learnt that it doesn't matter who sees your willy. My most horrific event was one of them put washing up liquid in the dishwasher, and after the kitchen was cleared of bubbles the machine didn't work. So I repaired it by taking off the draining pipe blowing down into it hard to force bubble out. Towards the end everyone had fallen out with this one girl cos she was mental. It took a while for everyone to realise, they just thought I was being a dick and then I was good pals with the rest of them They made soo much mess as well and the heating had to be on constantly. Occasionally there was times when one of them would be upset and as a male you had to go into another room It was a good experience though, I was privy to girl talk which was always fun. Always a laugh when one of them brought some meathead frat bro home and the next day gossiping about his inadequate sex and small penis. I think it made me care/think/consider more women's issues that maybe I wouldn't have done if I shared a house with lads.
Why didn't you take the dressing gown situation and turn it into a porno Terrible mistake dude.
The naive girl used to borrow one of the others laptop and watch loads of porn on it but didn't know to delete her history. She was really into blonde girls with black guys, but everyone was too embarrassed to mention it to her. It even got to a point where she had to take her laptop to get it repaired from too many porn site viruses. The naive girl never knew this [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=TrannyAlert;51930616]Why didn't you take the dressing gown situation and turn it into a porno Terrible mistake dude.[/QUOTE] I don't have a good answer to that There was a few times when we'd go out and they'd all say I was boyfriend to them so they'd be left alone [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] This was at the time when uniLAD was new, and every fresher thought they were the boy. I think it was around that time that I realised alot of 8-19 year old lads are massive dicks and not very good at talking to girls properly [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] The mental girl these days is going out with her stalker who used to egg our house in the night and once posted pizza through our letter box when they didn't let him in. [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] Referring to her as the mental one is unfair to people with mental health issues. She was just a massive cunt who thought she was entitled to everything and the world revolves around her. Which probably explains why she's with the stalker
I lived in a house with just me and 5 girls for a year. Wasn't really much different since they are just as capable of being as disgusting or as clean as guys can be. Most annoying thing was just the universal issues of people not cleaning up after themselves, leaving piles of dishes in kitchen, rotting food on their fridge shelves etc. We had a cleaning rota where each week everyone would have a task to do around the house, eg wipe the surfaces down, hoover the carpets, clean the bathroom, take out the rubbish on bin day etc just to keep the place in good condition but people quickly stopped doing it or did such a half assed job they may as well have not bothered, even after being asked a few times and saying they would stick to it they still didn't so 2 of us ended up doing most of the housework all year as well as the fun task of tidying the whole house on moving out day because every other bastard did a runner and left piles of rubbish everywhere. The weird Dutch girl had equally weird eating habits which meant for some reason all year every time she pooped, she would flush and instantly put the toilet seat down and not realize that her turds had some kind of freakish level of buoyancy and literally refused to be flushed, so it was always a fun seeing the toilet seat down and not knowing what surprise lay beneath. Also the Norwegian girl in the room next to me was late 20s and had a 18 year old six pack blonde surfer type boytoy and they seemed to be having extremely loud sex multiple times a day most of the year. I think the walls were a bit thin because even sitting with my headset on I could hear the ball slap of every stroke. I think she just didn't care because everyone knew standing in the hallways you could hear quite a lot through the bedroom door, her moaning filled the entire hallway and the bed shaking would always knock the pictures off the wall in the living room next to hers.
The weird eating habits reminded me of the time one of them decided she was going to do a juice diet. So she made her boyfriend buy her about £50 worth of fruit and veg. Everytime she used the toilet it smelt unholy, I suppose her insides just turned into a compost bin or something. A few weeks later she'd lost interest and her veg that she wouldn't allow to be thrown went all mouldy. Then we had a massive argument when I chucked it out Or the time she loudly announced she was going out to give blood, "but you're anaemic, no one's going to want your blood". A couple of hours later she reappeared, they didn't want her blood. [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] Oh god and finding hair extensions not attached to heads are kinda disgusting [sp]wigs and hair not attached to bodies kinda weirds me out[/sp]
I lived with a Romanian girl and a guy from the Philippines, the guy was the dirtiest bastard I've ever witnessed. Never cleaned up after himself, had the constant shits and just left it there stewing in the bowl. Always whined about some mess he'd created and wanted someone to clean it up, I had to fix every problem that happened in the house even if it was trivial like the Wifi going down or the electrics tripping. He'd go through everyone's food, get pissy when it was his turn to chip in for the meter, and leave shit in my pans after cooking. The girl and I got on great, and eventually got sick of his shit and told him to pack it in, he continued being an arse and even the landlord was losing his rag with him. He was a friendly guy but holy shit a complete nightmare to live with. After I moved out I received an email from our agent demanding money for the state of the house, because it turns out after me and the girl left, he decided to squat because he didn't want to try and find another place to live (convinced because he was that fucking lazy). So he was alone in the house for a month, leaving shit everywhere and it was full of flies.I got back to the agent who thank fucking christ believed me when I said we left it in perfect condition and this was all his doing, he got the full front of the costs for cleaning and damages. What's also interesting was he was studying to be a nurse.
Only issues I've had so far is people not doing their dishes.
My mum does mine for me ;)
[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;51930972]My mum does mine for me ;)[/QUOTE] When I lived at home our parents never did the dishes since that was my and my sister's job. tbf tho they did the soul-crushing stuff like the wallpapering
My mums a clean freak so she likes to do a lot of the cleaning, though I have stopped being lazy and have actually started doing shit in the past 2 years
After working on a meat and fish counter for four years, you learn to clean as you go. Really helped me out when I went to Uni and when I got my current job as a technician.
[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;51931004]My mums a clean freak so she likes to do a lot of the cleaning, though I have stopped being lazy and have actually started doing shit in the past 2 years[/QUOTE] My mum was like that, I've sort of inherited it. Except from about the age of 16 we had to do our own clothes washing and also had to muck in and do hoovering and mopping. And I used to do stuff like changing my youngest brothers nappies and stuff (fragrances wet wipes are vile, the smell will always be associated with shitty nappies. The Romanian girl at work used to be a nanny and agrees) I had to pay rent to as well as soon as she stopped getting child benefit. So I think I was kinda ready for independent living, I used to think my mum was super strict for it while my mates had everything done for them, but looking back I'm thankful for it. My housemates had always had stuff done for them [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=deadinside;51931060]After working on a meat and fish counter for four years, you learn to clean as you go.

Drives me mad when my missus uses about 4 saucepans, a collandar, a pizza wheel and several different Tupperware tubs to make a plate of pasta and just stacks it all up to wash afterwards. Seeing a massive pile of washing up is incredibly demotivating I love her lots and lots and she gives me blowjobs though so I spose I can forgive her [editline]8th March 2017[/editline] My mate's getting married this year, he's 26 and still can't put a duvet cover on

A lot of my friends never did this and had their first/second years rent at university paid for them by their parents so they had plenty of cash. Now it's starting to bite them on their ass as they have no idea how to properly run or house or how to manage their finances.
Yodel are so awful. Bought a second hand Canon DSLR from ebay and they some how managed to "lose" the parcel at the depot. They literally searched the entire depot and couldn't find it. How.
