My fiance's house mate again
I forgot to mention the grossest thing about my fiance's bullying house mate. If you ever find yourself in Cheshire/Flintshire, avoid sharing with a lanky haired goth girl with the initials T.B., at all costs.

Because it was not a student house but a proper grown up rental, a certain standard of maintenance was needed.

I didn't technically live there, but I stayed over 3 nights a week. As a rule, we tended to stay in my fiance's bedroom while TB was in the house - it was just easier that way.

Now, TB refused to do any cleaning - as I mentionned. Aswell as that, she brought her loser mates round and hogged the front room, to the extant that my fiance felt like she couldn't even leave her bedroom (TB had a housewarming party to which only her friends were invited and yet we were expected to contribute half the money for booze etc).

One day, after she had gone to work, I was cleaning up the collection of chinese takeaway containers that routinely appeared in the lounge. I noticed a number of what looked like large seeds on the floor. I thought they must be some sort of health-food nutty-type thing. Anyway, I vacuumed them up. A few days later I came back from work to find dozens of the biggest blue bottle flies you have ever seen flying around.

Yes, you got it, the "seeds" were infact maggot chrysalis' and they had hatched inside the vacuum clean.

I said I stayed 3 nights a week - the lease they had stipulated that was the maximum length of time a guest could stay before they began being classed as sub letting. So as a rule, I stayed at weekends and one day mid-week.

Her boyfriend however lived there constantly. To move a third tennant in required the permission of both existing tennants too. For some reason however, the landlord let TB officially move her boyfriend in while my fiance was still there, despite her having objected to it. Oh, and instead of splitting the rent three ways as a reasonable person would, he only paid half of TB's share, still leaving my fiance (and by that I mean ME!) paying her half.

Utter cnut she was.
