Other information
Plenty of room for your bed, a bedside table and a small bookshelf or TV if you like :) Lots of hanging space in wardrobe with shelving inside. Nice, big window with block-out luxaflex blinds. Close to the bathroom, but a little further up the hallway than the other bedrooms, meaning you won't hear the other housemates using it during the night. 2 x hooks on walls. Neutral walls and flooring.

Bills and expenses

All bills are split evenly four ways - power and gas (quarterly), internet (monthly) and at this stage we have a cleaner who comes fortnightly ($22.50 each per fortnight) though we are re-considering this. Occasionally we get someone from airtasker to come and do our weeding and other garden maintenance as needed. We figure out costs for that as we go. Everyone buys and prepares their own food, and we kind of just buy cleaning products/other shared items (milk, toilet paper etc) as we go.. We don't really keep track of this :)

About the occupants
I'm Jess, 23, Burrito/Margarita enthusiast. I work as a full-time Dental Nurse and am currently studying science at uni. I'm a pretty social person - I go out quite a bit when I'm not at work and I'm always on for a chat with whoever's around when I get home. My main interests are hanging out with friends, family and my boyfriend, yoga, painting, good coffee, wine and food.

I live here with my little rescue Border Terrier, Oscar. He's cuddly as hell, and sassy as sassy comes (he's hilarious. I'm such a proud dog-mum..) I'm currently binge watching Jane the Virgin, I love The Simpsons and can quote an embarrassing amount of episodes almost word-for-word, and can often be caught busting a move, glass of wine in hand, in the kitchen. When I should be studying, I'm probably playing wii or procrasticleaning. My other special interests include laughing at my own jokes, and pretending I don't like One Direction. Can't wait to meet you!

Min - Min (Melinda) is otherwise engaged at the time of writing this post, however I can tell you some fun facts about her. She's 28. She is a goddess in the kitchen, a baking genius. She likes pockets, buttons, or pockets with buttons. She is the fittest of all of us and is doing her Cert 3 & 4 fitness, as well as a Bachelor of Nutrition. She works as a practice manager at a dental practice on the southside. You may think she's a serious, career focused individual, but she loves gangster rap from the early 00's, and even more, she just loves love... (Tell her you know that. She'll love it ;) ). She's really nice though. Like, really, really lovely.

Jemma - Hola Amigo! Thats spanish for Hello friend! I am 25 and currently working as your friendly neighbourhood barista! I take coffee pretty seriously, however i will not judge you on your instant coffee making skills.. its hard to make instant coffee taste good .. i get it. As my fellow housemate has mentioned above, i am also social and enjoy making friends. My interests include food, coffee, cuddles with blossi (oscar), most types of music from good ol country to hippity beats, bad puns and dads jokes (they are my speciality), i also consider myself a modern day poet, netflix, science (marine), animals or really all creatures great and small (exception: spiders). I like to try and keep fit by taking myself and blos on long strolls to the park across the road. I would definitely consider myself a wine connoisseur and creator of delicious snacks. I do also occasionally bring home donuts from the farmers market to share with the household.
Compatible people
A good sense of humour is important, someone who can take a joke and loves a bit of banter. We're looking for someone fun, friendly, tidy and respectful. We love hanging out in our house, but also all like our space from time to time. We're pretty easy-going, and are looking for someone as laid back as we are.
Description of pets
Oscar is our little border terrier. He's super friendly, demands (yes, demands..) cuddles constantly and is really low maintenance. He just sleeps on Jess' bed all day 'til she gets home.
