There's good and bad about it.
Good: All bills included, plus a flat is cheaper to heat than a house so we won't go over our allowance. 2 of the housemates are French, so more likely to be well behaved and maybe even cook nice food!! It's a bit nearer town than my current house. 2 bathrooms for the 5 of us. My room locks and has a sink.
Bad: It's up loads of stairs, dreading what it'll mean for postie!! A long way from job centre so hoping to be able to transfer to the one in town as it's nearer. It's a quite rough area. If we don't get on, there's less space to run away/hide.
well sounds better than what you've got now! Living in a flat is a pain for the postie but they're used to it and will have access - you'll still get most of your post... It's more of a pain for other delivery companies unless you have an external letterbox. I'm sure that's why I haven't received my big prizes :rolleyes:
And not all french people are good cooks... None of my family is:( But hopefully these ones will be and will make you lots of lovely things
the lock sounds like the major benefit as does not having to live with those people anymore2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89

A lock brings a great feeling
My first student house had locks on the doors but I was living with my mates so none of our doors were ever locked. Brilliant
Moved into another house after our house disbanded. No locks. Hated it. Utterly utterly hated every second of it. Dreaded going to work, knowing others were in the house.. *shudders*
when do you get to move? (I assume you've already signed?)
and don't assume the French will cook well - in the HorribleHouse, we shared with an Indian family (yes, a family of 4 in ONE BEDROOM!) and they cooked really really nasty food :rotfl:Best wins since June 08: 2xNikonD60, 2xBrothers Cider, £330 SwanJackpot, £100 Garden Vs, £50 Espirit V, £750 BigSnap2, Wiifit, zoo tix, 7xCadburys, 5xGlamour, IOWTix, Dell Laptop, 3xIpodNano, £100 Highstreet Vs, Digi VideoCamera and more small bits, REAL DEAL £2400! :jRIP Dad 1943-20090 -
