The perfect flatmates.

My apartment is vast - over 2100 square feet - and can be quite lonely sometimes. I tend to leave the lights on. Having dwelt on it for sometime, and against all advice from friends, I finally decided that I would like to find a flatmate.

I live on the most desirable part of one of the most famous streets in Poland, and after posting a couple of pictures online asking for minimal rent was not surprised at being swamped with emails. Being the start of the academic year a large proportion of prospective candidates were students. Four weeks and many meetings later, I narrowed it down to two lively and pretty girls, with a couple of bedrooms to spare and not wanting to disappoint one of them I eventually settled on both. One a natural platinum blonde - a rarity indeed even here in Poland, and the other a raven-haired dancer. A typical male choice of course for which I refuse to apologise! They've been with me now for a few weeks and it is easy, fun and much warmer at home. They have the run of the house as long as they don't fill it with hideous things and we share everything.
