oh I am so mad

[Luke]

On the plus side paul, at least you found out before you signed paperwork and paid deposits etc otherwise you would definately be in ****s creek.

Best you ditched the wasters before it was too late

 

[smurfhead]

I almost ended up in the same situation last year but luckily after speaking to some other guys on our course, me and my mate found two others in our dept who were nice people who we had spoke to now and then that hadn't arranged anything yet so we were saved.

Keep ya chin up mate, it'll all work itself out.

 

[The Negotiator]

I know i should keep my chin up but when you have such plans and then are let down....

 

[Stu DemonD]

Ah, so it was what you suspected all along - biatches

BUT I am sure you will find something in the end - you can't and won't be the only student ever to have not found accommodation by the time next term starts.

 

[smurfhead]

I know mate but being depressed isn't going to help or solve anything so cheer up or else! lol

 

[JonnyBoy]

That sucks the big one mate still at least you can find out where they're gonna live next year and p*ss through the letterbox every night

I moved in with random people this year 'cos my housemates last year were deadly boring, which worked out pretty well. I've ended up living with a sound bunch of lads in a decent house.
Only prob is that the c*** of a landlord is hiking the rent for next year right up :tosser: so I'm gonna have to find somewhere cheaper, rest of the boys aren't as skint as me so a lad they lived with in 1st year is moving into my room when I go. I'll probably end up either moving in with some mates off my course, or just doing what I did before and looking through the ads in the union for spare rooms. I moved in here 2 weeks before term started so even if you leave it that late you can get sorted.

House hunting is an asspain at the best of times! Best of luck Paul and cheer up, least you're not living with those 2 "bitches" next year

This landlord is absolutely fantastic, i had a great chat with her and some of the tenents, it rubs it in even more that we will miss out on what I see as the best place we will see.

I don't mind random people within reason, I have a feeling my mate does though.

 

[smurfhead]

I wouldn't go with random people again.

In my 1st yr at uni I stayed at a place called Storthes Hall Park Student Village (evenyone in W.Yorks will know it as the nut house cuz thats what it was once on that site. hasn't changed much). I moved in my student flat with 7 complete strangers and still only have contact with one. One of them had that attention syndrome thing and went loopy sometimes and would destroy the kitchen, one was a recluse who still wouldn't say hi to anybody in the flat at the end of the year, the other lad was cool. He used to get dodgy DVDs by the box load every weekend and lend em to me for free. The 4 girls were ok. One of them i'm still in touch with. 2 are back in Scotland now and the other was a dirty slag who had no respect for personal property and had a differnt lad in her room shagging extremley loud about every other night.

I know some people who got great mixes in their flats but I was unlucky. At the worst Paul, it is only a year if you end up in a place you don't like and if you get fed up you can always go and c ya rents, mates or your best mates (FF ).

I am currently quickly going through all my possibilities, so far:

Find 2 other people to join us.
Find a 2 person flat with my friend.
Find a 1 person flat (have seen one advertised cheaply and in the perfect place, just don't want to leave my friend to fight for himself)
Go into a larger building similar to halls of res like i am in now.

 

[smurfhead]

Halls is expensive though. I think you need to have a good night to think about it before you make any decisions and have a chat with ya mate tomorrow and see what he/she/it says.

 

[JonnyBoy]

A 1-person flat, bloody hell, that'd be depressing! Have you tried asking about another year in halls? Sometimes they let a few 2nd years stay, could be worth a try.

 

[The Negotiator]

Jonny, I keep myself to myself anyway, just the way I am, right now they are being total ****s out in my flat so it kinda makes me want to live where that wouldn't happen.

My mate needs to change his mind about choices I reckon.

Jonny, at a push I could come back in the halls but, as much as i love my room/ensuite etc. i hate my flatmates and the same will happen next year.

 

[smurfhead]

I keep myself to myself anywayQUOTE]

Your post count doesn't agree

On a serious note though, I am the same but every now and then a bit of company is good and its nice to know you can just go to another room in ya house or go in to the kitchen and have a bit of company.

 

[The Negotiator]

Well, in "reality" it's the case, I like my alone time very much.

I never leave my room unless I have to, I dislike my housemates

I wonder what tomorrow will bring....

 

[smurfhead]

i know how it is mate. Make sure if you do decide to move in on your own, it is done with a clear mind though. Don't jump in to something and regret it.

 

[The Negotiator]

it would be. I wanted to move in with this friend as he is quite bright but in different areas to me, i understand the programming and some of the more difficult maths, he gets more of the other work etc. Him bringing the two girls worked with me as I didn't care who else came, they seemed quite quiet which suits me too. I don't think he wants to go in together though but if we don't, what else can we do?!

 

[The Negotiator]

Right, I texted the landlord earlier apologising for wasting her time and saying that we have been let down - we hoped to be in touch ASAP once we get new housemates. She just replied with "Thanks, I appreciate the txt, have you tried the Manc Student Homes website www...... click on ..... Best of luck"

I then just got MSNed by my mate, this girl he knows and her friend want to view the house tomorrow!!! I am overjoyed! Will get these girls to sign a contract in blood though!

 

[arc]

top stuff

 

[TashyG]

thats really good news

 

[The Negotiator]

Meeting up with them tomorrow at 5:30 at "the union" then going to view the house after that - i hope anyway. Going to phone the landlord in the morning and see if that's ok. I don't want to bug her all night lol.
