Could be a blessing in disguise mate. 2 of my best friends brought a house together, the amount of grief it caused them was unbelievable! 1 of them fell behind with payments etc. and caused a big rift.
In the end, them selling it (loosing a good chunk of cash on it) was the only thing that saved their friendship.
It wasnt only the money issue tho mate, when you socialise and live with someone it means you can pretty much spend 24hrs a day with them and its not always a good thing, you may end up wanting to tear their eyes out...thats what marriage is for! :winkold:
You've already been pulled up on it, but highlighting a pet hate of mine is an awful way to start a reply
BUt you're probably right. But I'm nervous I'll end up with a psychopath.
My house isn't tiny, but it's not exactly massive, so we'll end up spending a lot of time in the same room so I want someone I get on with.
I don't want to sound like a perve (but it's inevitable) but I wouldn't mind a female housemate. Probably a better chance she'd be tidy and respectful
There's all sorts of sexism in that statement, in both directions, but I don't care.
Also if she falls behind with the rent, she could nosh you off to make up for it!
Every cloud....
