About me?

LOL. Some people need to know what I'm like before they'll consider having a look at the share.... fair enough, but what do you say??

I'm 39 (ek!), and have a boyfriend who stays over at the weekend. I work in retail (Deansgate), don't drive and enjoy comedy (live or on the tele). I also love going out with friends to the cinema or for a drink. I no longer have a dead exciting social life (having done more than my fair share of all nighters, I'm now over it!) but I've NO problem living with someone who does.  I'd say I'm clean and tidy but not a 'Monica' (and we probably wouldn't get on too well if you are (cats)!) other than that I'd like to think I'm open minded and laidback. Most people who've lived here have been in their early twenties to late thirties. I've shared the flat since 2002 and totally value peoples privacy.
If it helps any, I don't feel old and goodness only knows what a 39yr old is supposed to act like anyway....

The flatshare is located in Bevill Square, a quiet place close to Trinity Way and Chapel Street (M3 6BB). It's close to loads of decent takeaways, pubs and supermarkets. In fact it has all the convenience of city centre living with few of the drawbacks (the square is quiet, safe, friendly and has parking for example). The neighbours are generally professional types and we get on well with each other. There is a residents association and as this is an established area there aren't many of the problems you can get in the newer developments (lack of security, rude/noisy neighbours, bins a nightmare etc).

In fact, I love it so much I've been here over 10 years! In that time I've had many different types of flatmates, most of whom stay over a year. I've shared with couples and singles, native and foreign born. Most have said I'm easy going, not a neat freak but not too dirty either. I like to socialise, but I also feel that privacy is extremely important (there are locks on the bedroom doors) and I also like to drink but not excessively so.  I'm no longer partying every weekend (unless its Christmas).... And I try to live 'green' but no-ones perfect (there is a LOVELY tumble dryer in the flat).
