my apologies for not replying to people, because...

One of my flatmates managed to catch something on fire cooking when I was out. He and Pukamon didn't catch the smoke alarm in time, and so the sprinklers went off and flooded the apartment.

Thank you, Mickey, for travel insurance, because my laptop and luckily my cheaper camera are dead. I type this on my flatmate's netbook as I keep getting completely the wrong hours at work for when the outlets are open and I hate ordering things like computers online, takes away the whole touch element.

There is way too much water damage in this apartment. If they don't move us out, I'm demanding it. I'm just worried they'll split us up into different apartments and I'll end up with a bunch of idiots who won't be as cool about Pukamon as the guys I live with right now.

Anyone else on here live with someone apart from your partner? How do your families/flatmates/whatever handle it?
