    I really do not want to house share as I am a very private person. Yes, I realise that house share is the cheaper option but it really is not for me.

    i think you're just going to have to suck it up. when it comes down to it most people don't want to houseshare. i work 40 hrs a week on a decent wage and have to houseshare.

    Where I live there is a real paradox. Single people who work tend to rent a room or house-share, purely because they can't afford full rent and council tax and all the other costs involved.

    Single people who don't work have a dwelling all of their own.

    I wish that I could understand this.

    I, on the other hand, have a lot of time and respect for ONW. We share many of the same views.

    Now he is such a pain & even more so since he decided to have the whole of his body resculptured.:rotfl:
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
