About occupants
Hard working but fun at the same time GSOH. Raised in the UK and charming (so I’ve been told). I enjoy cooking and being social & often love being a home body.. My cat is 20 years old and a lilac Burmese whom is very affectionate. I love to have a chat but respect boundaries. I work from home and some weeks drive into the office to work 2-3 days. Mad movie lover and have most streaming services which I enjoy on my down time.
Compatible people
A considerate person is sought, if you need to use the bathroom for a longer period, it makes sense to ask if I need to use the toilet before you head in. I don’t mind sharing the cooking if you enjoy spicy or flavoursome food and I do enjoy cooking. Love a flatmate who asks to use something and replaces it. Be clean and tidy, wash sheets once a fortnight, shared house cleaning is a must.
Description of pets
If you love a snuggly cat then my 20 year old Lilac Burmese, who is very affectionate and needy and will probably want to join you in bed if you don’t close your bedroom door. Responds very well to cuddles and kisses
