How to deal with a messy flatmate

We’ve all been there: got that mate who’s great fun on a night out, always bringing the jokes and is a generally brilliant person to be around… until you move in with them.

Then they’re leaving dirty socks on the sofa, dumping the contents of their bag on the coffee table, never washing their plates, and don’t even mention the state of the bathroom 😷

It’s hard to handle: you don’t want to ruin the friendship by calling them out but it’s impossible to live in a pig sty. Honestly, a firm chat is the best policy, and if they don’t get the hint, maybe it’s best to keep the friendship strictly outside the home!
