    Daftness. Does she expect the fridge to run while she is away? Freezer?

    Does she want to be issued a disconnect and re connect charge each time she leaves the house?

    I would have that sorted so fast her head would spin.

    Who's name should it go in then? There's no way this wan will put them in her name, she's too tight.

    Say she is moving and close the accounts with the providers. Let the landlord or yer wan open a new one if they want electricity.

    That's basically the answer we're looking for at this stage. How to get her the F out of the house!

    Letting agency wasn't open today so will try again tomorrow.

    Get your GF to tell her it's not working out and giver her a month to find somewhere to live.

    Is the GF allowed to evict another tenant?

    Does she pay rent for the time she's away? It kinda works both ways. She can't pay one and not the other.

    Good friend of mine never invited out to dinner anymore with us the odd time we do it, once or twice a year. Himself and his wife ask for the bill as soon as dinner is over and get to work on their sums.

    Who had the 2 beers......
    Who drank wine.......
    Who had the chicken.....

    Then tell each person/couple what they owe.

    Headwrecking stuff. They did it twice and will never get invited again.

    Tell the housemate to cop on

    The situation described by the op is an absolute joke, the housemate is totally taking the p*ss.

    However what you have described is quite normal (from my experience) when a group goes out for dinner. Breaking down the bill is completely fair so I can't see your problem with it. Ok maybe they are being in your face about it or what ever and that's your issue but the act of breaking down the bill so each person pays for what they had is the proper way to deal with a group dinner. if only more places would allow groups to pay individually it would solve a lot of hassle around bills.

    This is a totally different scenario. Why should someone who only had a chicken breast and tap water pot the same as someone who had a three course meal with wine?
