Problem with housemate

    I was in a houseshare since last september. Sharing with a 30 something year old guy and a 40 something year old woman.

    The guy was grand, he's deaf so he's lucky he can do his own thing. But the other one im with has been very nosey, wanting to know everything. I used to spend my time studying in my room, so it wasn't too bad for some freedom. And she used to go away every weekend, so that was more freedom from her quizzing me.

    I should have gave my notice a month ago but I wanted to finish my exams first before deciding if i wanted to stay in this county or go home. I still dont know what im at. I think i didnt do too well with my exams but i dont find out for another couple of weeks. Then i might i go home if it doesn't go too well.

    I gave my months notice, as the housemate is really getting to me. Back in April, she wasn't going to pay the tv licence. Last week the bin bill came for another year, and she wasn't going to pay that either to save money. She said that she couldn't afford the bins, so asked me can i afford it which sounded like she was saying that i can pay the lot. So fck that, im out.

    But i dont know what to do, i have another month left as i had to give a month's notice.

    But the oil will be due a refill pretty soon. I dont know when. I know im here for a month, but she's refusing to pay for bins and tv licence. She's here with the heat on and it isn't even cold. She's wasting it nicely. She often leaves it on timer and no one in the house too. So she can come home to a warm house. Even in may! It has been on for the past three hours solid. She has got to be taking the piss. I mentioned it to her that the rest of us aren't made of money and it isn't even cold outside and she said that she lives here too.

    And when it runs out, and if it runs out while im here, she'll expect me to pay to heat up her ass. And im only here for another month. So if the oil runs out, what do i do, refuse to pay like she has done with the bins, or pay for a month or three or two weeks, however long im left.

    Simple, tell her you're moving and you won't pay for an oil refill so she best save it.

    No way you should pay the oil bill. Move out! Even if you decide to stay in the same town/city where you are now, you should move out because this woman sounds like a wagon. If she's cold during warm weather in May, she should put on extra layers like any normal person would, not heat the whole house for her own pleasure.
