My housemate is doing my head in.

[emmmmma]

Sorry this is totally off topic i.e. it has nothing to do with either Glastonbury OR swine flu... But my housemate is seriously getting on my nerves. I am a clean person, but I don't feel the need to constantly disinfect things. She on the other hand does, and I am in the unfortunate position of living with my landlady so I just have to sort of grin and bear it. This is the woman who didn't fancy Glastonbury because her boyfriend wouldn't come (he is not a 'festival type' whatever that is...), mind you she would probably have been hoovering the Brothers bar so it is just as well. So anyway, I just fancied a rant.

And on a sidenote, anyone looking for an amazingly lovely flatmate in London?

Please feel free to rant too.

As we say in Scotland(or Glasgow anyway), tell her 'Oi, you pal. Away tae f*ck!'? maybe a bit harsh but fun all the same! I have ace flatmates! So no worries here! Smile, have a drink and forget about the world around you you have Glastonbury on the way, does she?!

[Forever_Reeling]

who do you think would be a better flatmate.

Micheal Eavis or Emily?

right then em,

find her bottle of detol, empty it out and fill it with water and yellow food colouring. Open a tin of salmon and pour the 'brine' in too. next time she goes to disinfect she will be put off detol for life!

also, pour some talcum powder into the hoover bag or onto the bottom of the hoover brushes. when she hoovers the white dust will billow about. she will ask what is going on and you can tell her the dust is dead skin you scraped from your feet and then hoovered up. that should put her off hoovering for life.

just a few ideas there. yak, I even made myself wince reading what I wrote.

How frustrating! She told me the other day that I have to do all my washing up the minute I finish eating (which I actually pretty much do anyway), this is while two of her mouldy coffee cups are sitting there AND her meaty grease fat all over the hob!

Do mice like bacon?!

Good point! I have had a bottle of beer and now feel much more relaxed about it all!

Ah you are all so lovely! I wish that we could live at Glastonbury all year round, as long as the Brothers cider bar was there too of course

[Mr Ploppy]

Fellow guru, I knew I could count on you! After I've finished this beer I will definitely do both of those things. Especially liking the fish flavoured dettol! Would it be mean to stick some fishy flakes in her moisturiser too? Or is that taking it too far?

She will be watching Jeremy Kyle and Hollyoaks!

I've got the joys of housemates to come - signed the lease on my first house today

All i can say is, think yourself lucky that you don't have a lodger who's happy to live like this...

I don't even wanna guess what's in those bottles

Tell me about it, i'd get shot of him but being blunt, i need the money right now.

The last time i 'had a word' (slapped him one ) he dragged 6 bin bags full of crap out of there and it still didn't look any different

holy flying spaghetti monster!!

i thought those were just pics youd picked up off the net, not that you actually lived with it

although, i see the man likes his port, so he must have some refinements

Move to South Birmingham!

[Tugger2k]

I know, it's f**king disgusting but i hardly ever see him and when he is here he's as quiet as a mouse, and more importantly he pays on time... which reminds me... it's rent day
