Oh goody, someone else with culinary skills - that takes the pressure off..........
Know what you mean tho, I've never lived in a shared house in my life and find the idea pretty daunting, especially after having my own place for a number of years. But then I never went to uni so I've missed out on all the 'joys' of communal living, and won't knock it too much till I've tried it!
