I can’t help you out with DSS specifics, but is the place you’re thinking of moving to near your parents’ house? Is it a year long contract or month to month?

If it’s nearby and only a month to month contract I say go for it, you don’t have much to lose and can always float between the two houses. A lot like me :)

Cheers, I’ll bear this in mind. A part of me rather wants a flat to myself, but again, with my illness, that might not be possible.

DONT DO IT…

untill you have watched amityville!!!

be prepared.

Check under the bed for cock gobblins too.

I’d say give it a try, provided you have some back up in case it doesn’t work out. As Hooch said, living with other people in one house will get difficult at times, so prepare yourself for that and make sure (as far as possible) that your housemates are aware of that too. You will have to get used to other peoples anoying habits and they to yours, so keep that in mind.

So be realistic about the good and bad things and you’ll do fine :D

You won’t know unless you try..

I would recommend sitting down beforehand and discussing things like cleaning and cooking and food purchase etc

Nothing gets more petty in a shared house than the old “Which bastard used my last piece of bread, I saved that for toast this morning…?!” routine.

And get a lock on your bedroom door that you can lock from both sides. Keeps your valuables safe whilst you are out and keeps your “valuables” safe from view when you are, ahem, “in”, let’s say…

“Every time i’ve done a house share ( about 4 )

There is always, without fail - one complete and utter prick.”

There is one obvious answer to this, but I’m not mean enough to say it out loud. :D ;)

Haha… I have to say I agree with Squall, though it’s not so much that one person is always a prick, rather than a group of people in a confined space over a prolonged period of time always need to have a scapegoat to blame for their misfortunes. Especially when copious amounts of drugs and alcohol are being consumed on a daily basis.

:rolleyes: I dont get it.

Play Loud Music at 3am every night.

Break everything.

Turn the heating up on full all day every day when i was the one paying the bills.

Altho - the best thing about that was - i knew they would never chip in so i didnt pay the bill for a few months - let them use as much water gas and electric as they wanted - then i moved out :cool:

Other pitfalls:

Phone bills.

“Oh but I never use the phone”

OK, let’s go through the bill then.

“Wasn’t me, I don’t even know the number…”

best to stick with your own mobile and sod having a land line, which of course buggers up the idea of having broadband or owt like that.

Talking about other people’s taste in music, there’s one lad within this little circle of mine that likes McFly.

I shall leave you with that thought.
