Flatmate Stories: Toni and Ash

Each month Ideal Flatmate sits down with a group of flatmates to hear about the highs and lows of their flat-sharing journey.

In this second edition, we talk to Toni and Ash, two Londoners from Hackney who were kind enough to answer our random questions about flatmating.

If you would like to share your stories for our next post, please get in touch! 🙂 (alex@idealflatmate.co.uk)

Here is a transcript of the interview:

Which celebrity would you love to share a flat with, and why?

Toni

Bill Murray because, Bill Murray.

Ash

Clippy. He seemed like a nice guy, who always came back despite how much abuse he got. Plus, I always run out of stationary.

Do you consider yourself a good or a bad flatmate and why?

Toni

If you like big brunches, lots of lyrca, impromptu parties and lazy Sundays then yes, I’m a very good flatmate.

Ash

This all depends on whether one appreciates Deftones in the morning, Jeff Buckley in the afternoon and Radiohead in the evening.

What is the best thing about having you as a flatmate? (Cooking, Music, etc..)

Toni

Free yoga lessons, I make a mean bloody mary, have a vinyl player (admittedly accompanied by a questionable vinyl collection) and you can share my cat, Luna.

Ash

DIY and flat mods. I’m all about making my flat more and more efficient. Plus I’m away all the time so I’m never in the way.

What is the most annoying thing a flatmate can do, or has done to you?

Toni

Put the milk in first when making tea.

Ash

Leave…

Would you live with a flatmate who is 20 years older than you, and why?

Toni

Of course, as long as they were house trained.

Ash

Yeah man. Age isn’t an issue if consideration is at the top of an agenda.
