Rules! We even have a 3 metre metal one

I travel a lot for work and tell everyone I live in an 'ecological cohousing project'.
They ask 'Do you like it?'
Or 'What's different about living there?' 

Apart from the fact that it's like being on holiday, with your friends, all the time!!, I also love it because:

The heating bills are very, very low.

And, unexpected but the BEST thing:

If you want anything - anything at all! - eg (taken from recent requests): 

some flaked almonds, 

help with a job application,

emergency baby sitting service,

computer trouble shooting...

a 3 meter metal rule ...  

a spare dining room chair for a visitor...

All you have to do is email a quick request, and usually two or three people come straight round with whatever it is you've asked for!
