Apples are for eating?
Collette from South East London has sent in a fruity tale about one of her weird flatmates...
COMMENT: AUTHOR: Samantha EMAIL: yquemard@hotmail.com DATE: 2006-04-27 20:21:11 I had a flatmate who gave herself £4 challenge -- survive on £4 a day. She lived on scotch eggs and wondered why she was getting zits?!? We all thought she was poor - hence the pathetic challenge. The irony was she earnt the most. I don't think her tightarse appreciated the daily dose of eggs!I once shared a house with someone that bought apples for decoration. You were not allowed to eat them; they pollished them daily and replaced them weekly after throwing the other ones away. They also ironed their sheets every day before going to bed, is that weird enough?
Emma from Greater London tells us that she once shared with a girl who "ate nothing but bowls of chopped up apples."
And Gena from the North West of London said that she lived with a woman that kept "A maggoty apple that she was going to take back to the shop and demand a refund on - only she never had time to get to the shop and she refused to throw". Now that's just disgusting....

i have cooked meals in the kettle [when i was in B+B with no cooker and 2 kids] eggs[boiled of course] Beans, spagetti, and any thing else in a tin!!! not loose in the kettle except the eggs , and occasionally they burst! took ages to clean out. One of the joys of family life on a budget.

My (ex)flatmate used to cook 2-minute noodles by boiling the kettle with the noodles inside it. The worst part was he wouldn't clean the kettle afterwards and there would be all these cooked noodle strands stuck to the element and the sides. Gross!

I had a flatmate a while ago (not one of my current flatmates) who would put all their fruit, vegies, etc. on top of the fridge... nothing wrong with that except once I looked up there and there was this object that was so covered in mould it was just green and I couldn't even tell what it used to be anymore. I ended up having to get rid of it as I knew if I didn't it would just sit there longer.
