We could just talk about Jumble without having her jump in to defend herself.

Wahey! A '69 page! Congrats WooHoos!



Random question: Has anybody ever been in a house share? And, if you have, do you have any advice on looking for a place, etc, and what's it like? Julie and I are considering it, but you hear a lot of bad things and a lot of good things about it.

I've lived in share houses a few times. A couple of years of uni, where it was basically fine because they were college-owned houses so we had a cleaner (Yeah I know, Oxford...) which took a lot of the potential stress points out of it. Then after uni I lived in one share house which was AWFUL and one which was fabulous. It really depends who you're living with, in my experience. I didn't like most of the people I lived with in the one I hated, and they were really bad with sharing the cleaning and chores and stressed over money a lot for the bills and whether everyone was paying their fair share, so I moved out about as soon as I could. The one that I really liked, by contrast, worked because the people I lived with were all lovely and relaxed - we all got on well, and were happy to pull our weight with the chores, and were relaxed and trusted each other about sharing and sorting out the money and things. In that house we really lived more like a family than anything else and it really worked well. So my advice would be that the most important thing to consider is the other housemates. If they live together already, find out how they deal with the shared things like chores and money and stuff. It's a real risk to go in with people you don't know; can be less of one if they're at the least friends of friends, but even then you don't really know how people are to live with until you actually do. And don't sign up to too long a contract initially (or make sure you can get out) so that if it does turn out to be a nightmare you're not trapped.

Hope that helps!
