Hi everyone,
Now, I know this might be a bit random but bear with me;
Seniath (Si) and I (lizzie) are sharing a house next year along with 2 other girls. However, Si didn’t really want to be the lone boy in the house, so we decided to find another guy and make it up to 5 in total. Unfortunately we haven’t yet found anyone to be Number 5 soooo we thought we’d see if there was anyone here who could potentially fill the position!
We signed for a house yesterday…it’s just been totally refurbished, and everything is new…literally while we were looking around they were moving up new beds and mattresses! The kitchen is pretty small (but not pokey) and it filled with brand new appliances (oven, washing machine, toaster, sandwich maker, deep fat frier even!) lots of cupboard space. Nice laminated floor in there and the living room. Living room is going to have 2 leather sofas. There are two attic rooms, two middle rooms and one room on the bottom floor which is a little smaller than the others. This is probably the room that the potential new person would have (it’s not tiny, just smaller than the others). There is only one bathroom (which personally I think it a bit of a bugger), it’s got a big corner bath and shower over the top of that, all new etc. Finally there is a very cool cellar with lots of potential…at the moment it’s just a dark hole (and very cold due to tile floor) but we are allowed to clean it up and paint it and turn it into a snazzy den/party place/whatever we want.
So, that’s the house. It’s £60 a week (yes, expensive I know, but very very nice), apparently 10mins walk from uni (though we will be checking this out on Wednesday). Deposit is £250/300 (can’t remember which).
Now for what we’re looking for:
• Most importantly of all, you have to be a non-smoker…can’t stress this enough (I really hate smoking!)
• Not be one of those people who leaves their washing up for days on end/uses other peoples stuff and leaves it for days on end (god, so annoying!)
• Si would like to request someone who is into gaming (though not essential…I’m sure you could be converted!) to play stuff with him
That’s all I can think of right now, but I’m sure there’s more! (Or that Si will add stuff).
As for us, there’s me – I do Linguistics-Spanish with a bit of Japanese, I like anime (duh), listen to lots of random music, love salsa dancing (as does Keri, so be warned you may be forced to help us practice
), love laughing, and tend to exaggerate outrageously. I’m a really fussy eater so you’ll really only see me eating apples, yoghurts, bread and baked beans (and obviously chocolate). I’m from as down South as you can go.
Then there’s Keri, she’s from Liverpool (go hard to understand accents go!), does Spanish-English with a bit of Psychology. Erm….salsa, obviously, can’t think of much else (will ask her later).
Frankie – from Nottingham, part Italian, studying French-German with a bit of Spanish (definitely Spanish theme in this house!). She can get a bit stressy sometimes but is good fun and quite entertaining in the right mood.
And lastly Si, who does maths, also likes anime/manga (of course), and is obsessed with gaming (especially World of Warcraft right now). I’m sure he can add some other stuff himself.
So, if you are interested, or know someone who sounds like they would fit in with us, either reply here or email me on lizzie.williams@gmail.com once we hear a little bit about you, obviously we would want to meet up, and if we still thought you seemed a good match then we would take you to see the house and see what you think.
Sorry that was so long, but better too many details than too little!
