I'd remind you that EO stated that he wakes up with a boner every day

Do you take other peoples stuff from the fridge ?

Are you wanting to share?

I can't give sound advice unless I have all the facts.
Do you snore ?

Ok how about a room in a shared house.

Comedy aside (I managed to contain myself) I've had no problems with expenses from house shares in the past, as long as the rent is proportionate and has a receipt it's been acceptable.

[Gutter] Not for me thanks!!! [/Gutter]

Oh Sorry I see what you mean......... you are planning to rent a room which you think may be a different proposition in "alowability" to say a Hotel or B&B.

Sorry for confusion - you really should be clearer (esp as you posted in General which is really not a good place to get sensible advice!)

I'm assuming that I can just get the landlord to give me a receipt for the monthly rent and claim it as an expense.

For double the monthly rent.

Boomed!

I'll be starting a new contract in a few weeks and I'll be needing to pay for a shared room at another location being a long way from my home.

Anybody else do this?

Why not, I do.
