"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

this is like death for painted walls.
i say i did it. i suppose its technically my fault. we collapsed on the bed, drunk and giggling. feeble woman that i am, i couldnt open the wine bottle. so i passed it over to the boyfriend who opened it ... far too successfully... all over the mattress, pillows, and up the walls.
scrubbing a white enough to remove a red wine stain takes off the paint. inevitably, i ended up buying some more paint and a tiny paintbrush. its not quite the same colour but im hoping the land lord thinks the darker patches are caused by damp...
i dont feel bad. afterall, they left a whopping big hole in the window sill by my bed for ages - in winter! one night i had a nightmare that the roof was caving and woke up with the bed absolutely soaking because water had been getting into the wall.
above my bed, someone has carved a message for the last tenant. im assuming her name is helen or helena because it says 'hello hel -'.
student accomodation is poor. they deserve us to carve our names into the plaster and pour wine over the walls. i only hope the next tenant comes up with a more inventive way of vandalising the room.

stand on the bed and paint the words "i'm under the bed" on the ceiling.
