I have more taste in my little finger, I am not living with that!

It's the day after the night before, that fateful venture called Valentines. Ahhh

So after the 3rd bottle of Chablis you decided that moving in together would be a splendid idea. In the cold light of day you have no get out clause, you've done it now. Best of luck!

So what you have to do now is find out how much your separate possessions and furniture do not match and the friendly tussle of give and take begins in earnest.

Look let's be honest, as the man most of your stuff will be rejected and your just going to have to learn to love rose print. What you thought was stylish and contemporary, will be dismissed as gaudy, cheap and not fitting in with the theme of the room. Oh yeah, themed rooms, welcome to interior design and you will have no say whatsoever, trust me on this.

You are left staring at the representation of singledom, which has now been crammed into the back of a transit. Now at this stage you have my undying support as I know how hard it is. I also know that you will not be able to part with your items, so what are your options.
