Format:Hardcover
What a brilliant little coffee table/loo book. It brought back all the frustrations over other people's domestic (or non-domestic) habits from my student days. The sheer indignation when, arriving home at stupid o'clock in the morning full of alcohol-induced self-righteousness, I found that a flatmate had nicked the last of my bread. Hell had no fury like a woman de-breaded. The passage of time has allowed me to see the funny side of these scenarios and to marvel at how entrenched in petty squabbles I could get.
This book does what it says on the tin. It presents a vast collection of notes (I can't believe that they're real, but they're certainly plausible) along with a little background and commentary. It's a laugh a minute and a great stocking filler this year for anyone who's ever lived with someone other than their parents.

I bought this book on a whim this afternoon and i have been chuckling ever since. I even laughed out loud in the coffee shop several times! This is a fantastic book that really bought back memories from my student days and the joys of the angry notes left to housemates for 'unforgiveable' actions!
It is organised into rooms (where the notes are left), each with an introduction. There are then copies of the notes and then (very humourous)comments on each by the author.
I throughly recommend this book to anyone who has flat shared - it would make a great gift too!

This was broughtas a small present for my student daughter and was the only thing she read immediately and completly. Most of her friends have been phoned up and had extracts read to them. Certainly one for students and other flat sharers.

My flat mate wanted to share cheese
Leave it in the bathroom and it will get your point across, when you have just brought and grated into sealed bags a massive block of cheese. Read more

This is a great book for a laugh, particularly if you've had any flat-sharing experience yourself. It's not so much a book you'd sit down and read all in one go, but nice to pick... Read more

The book arrived in perfect condition....eventually. Had no contact to say that it was delayed and no help from anyone. Other than that it was fine

Interesting book, all the way
Sometimes funny, and always interesting - the notes that people who share a flat write to each
other - their frustrations and complaints.

A bit cheesy but still fun
An archetypal 'toilet windowsill book', this amusing little tome is full of 'notes' left for flatmates and is extremely well-observed. Read more
