Choosing a Flat-mate …
‘Grant me the serenity to recognise that I cannot possibly live with someone who wears paisley underpants … Courage to take full advantage of any amazing skincare products a flatmate leaves unlocked and on display … And the wisdom to ensure I never move anyone in with a better sex life than mine.’
Not sure about the paisley undies … they're definitely in vogue at the mo, protruding from from the hip-band of any guy under 25’s jeans.
Amongst the hilarious tips, Tara and Sharon share, I’ve selected a few from The Naughty Girl at Home… Getting a Flat-mate …
‘Go Gay …
Gay flat-mates take an interest in your clothes, likely to have a fabulous range of cleansers, toners, face-masks … Join in endless bitching about men’s shortcomings, and they’ll cheer you by saying ‘You’re looking hot tonight’ and mean it.’
‘Flat ads are usually sooo dull …’
Tara and Sara point out that most ads are about ‘Light and airy double rooms’ and ‘boring things about kitchens’ ~ They suggest you think about your strengths in the search for a truly match-able flat-mate …
‘Do you know a rugby team?’
‘Can you get discounts in shoe stores?’
‘Can you mix a decent cocktail?’
‘Are you sleeping with anyone famous?’
Well, maybe don’t answer the last question but their point is that you’re selling a lifestyle – you need someone who wants similar. Whilst it’s interesting to meet all sorts of people with varying interests, it’s important that you get on with your house mates. Uncomfortable atmospheres lead to miserable days.
Tara and Sara suggest you ask yourself this …
‘Do you like their clothes?’ Dirty clothes are a no no. If they’re ringing your doorbell wearing something hideous like a rainproof poncho then don’t even let them in.
Make surface checks:
Scan their faces for cold sores. Have a good scan of their scalp … Scrutinise their nails … See if there’s anything that would make you reluctant to share a hand-towel with this person.’
The ladies insist, ‘This isn’t being shallow. It’s simply being practical’ And Definitely … Tara and Sharon ‘Really wouldn’t advise going for anyone Prettier. Or Thinner’
