It unfortunately started with me... (I thought it was the quickest way of communicating as all of us are seldom in at the same time)
My intentions were just to re-organize the storing space for the new housemate coming today... The new housemate was to replace M who was moving out. She is moving in 10 days earlier... so we would have 4 people in the 3-bedroom flat until M. moves out on the 31st. In the note, I asked M. if she could move her foodstuff to the 3 drawers under the sink, while P, the new girl and me take 3 shelves worth of cupboard space (all four spaces are the same size to me).
M. thought I meant the washing cupboard (am I not communicating properly?). And replied on the note "No way my thing going under sink with washing stuff". sigh....
Once I started the ball rolling... P. decided to make her stand... She asked us (last week) to keep the electricity usage as low as possible, as she will not have enough money to pay the bills if current usage goes on.
She wrote on the note "I will strictly brief her (the new girl) as well... The new girl will pay her due bills from the day she arrives i.e. 20th of March. I am in no position to do hospitalities to anyone and neither am found of them being P--------- or otherwise... (P and the new girl are from the same country).
I wrote a note in reply ;> the war might go on...

Ah, house politics...notes...I remember it well. I hope it all manages to resolve itself for you because, in my experience, these things have a habit of escalating... (@_@)
