How is your house hunting going ?   Not very well . I haven ’ t found anything within my price range yet .   How much are you looking to spend ?   I can only afford about 300 pounds a month .   Looks like you ’ re not going to get more than a bedroom in a shared flat with that .   Really ? That ’ s a lot of money to pay for one room .   Well , if you want to live in London , you have to pay the price !   Do you know of anyone who needs a roommate ?   I can ask around at work . Do you have a preference for makers or non-smokers ?   I ’ d prefer non-smoking roommates , but I guess I ’ ll have to take what I can get !
