As my flatmate is moving out in March, I need to locate me a new one. I live in a rather nice place in N8 near Crouch End – details and photos below. You’d be sharing with me and me alone. The double bedroom up for grabs has an ensuite bathroom & shower!!1
As a thirtysomething year-old adult, I’m not really after a perma-partying party person. I also feel like I’ve paid my dues as far as sharing living space with full-on lunatoids like Eddie here.
What I’d ideally like is a considerate, stable, relatively grown-up, laidback-but-not-horizontal type (male/female/whatever) who has an awareness of basic hygeine and isn’t averse to washing dishes and using a hoover in a frenzied manner now and again 15 minutes before people come to visit.
Email me at waterman.stuart(at)gmail.com/call 07929 358 179 if you’d like to arrange a viewing. Please make some attempt to convince me you’re not a maniac when doing so.

I would have put the toilet seat down in the en suite photo.

I don’t want to live in that area (no offence) but am tempted by well taken photos. Sadly my choice of music (pop/ trance/ D&B) would mean the end to a beautiful friendship. You may have a career in taking house photos however.

@Susi – So would I, if I’d taken the photos.

Why don’t you get 24 illegal immigrants to move in a relive the glory days of your Finchley flat?

Hmm? No, just being nosy.
However, I do live just over <- there. You should come round for a coffee and an envy of my massive telly.

There you go, prospective tenants – if we run out of coffee, Robyn’s offering.
