Hi guys. Sorry that I’m sending you a voice message about this, but enough is enough. We’ve been living together for 6 months now and I’ve got a few problems.

The first thing I want to bring up is the loud music. You know that I have to get up at 6am for my lectures. Could you guys please turn down your music from about 10pm? I don’t know who always plays the loud music, but it always keeps me up. Maybe you could put on some headphones or something? That’d be great. If you don’t have any headphones, I’m happy to lend you mine. Just let me know.

Another problem I want to point out is the cleaning rota. Some of you always seem to put off your chores or you make up some story about having so much university work to do that you don’t have time. We get it – we all have a lot of work to do. But please just do your bit, OK? And I would appreciate it, too, if you could put away your kitchen stuff after you’ve cleaned them. They don’t need to sit near the sink for a week. If you really feel like you can’t do your weekly chores, then speak to us. I’m sure we can come up with a solution.

Lastly, I’ve noticed that sometimes when I come home, the heating is on and nobody is in. Please don’t forget that we’re all poor students – turn off the heating if you are the last person to leave the house. And the same goes for lights, too. Please switch off the lights when you leave the room. We don’t need expensive utility bills right now!

Sorry again that I’m sending a voice message about this. I didn’t want to cause an argument and I know we’re all stressed out with uni at the moment. But let’s consider everyone in the house and do our bit. If you guys want to talk, just shout.
