Today, while away on training with the army, my housemates rang me to tell me some news. They had found a perfect house for next year and they had put an offer on it. The only problem? There are 5 of us and the house is for 4. Guess who hasn't been included. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, my three housemates got into a huge fight and ended up declaring their undying hatred for each other. They now refuse to talk to each other, and I've become their go-between. Yesterday, we signed the lease for another year in the house together. FML
Today, all of my roommates handed in their vacating notice unexpectedly. They are all moving to a new house together in two weeks, leaving me to be either homeless or forced to pay 4 times what I was paying in rent. FML
Just no!
Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML
Ripped off
Today, I rented a house for 5 years with my girlfriend, only to find out she is the actual owner. FML
Sorry mate, you're on your own
Today, I signed the lease for a flat that a mate and I decided to move into. About five minutes after leaving the renting agency, I received a text from my mate saying he couldn't move in with me after all. I am now the happy tenant of a large inner city flat that I can't afford. FML
Put your foot down
Today, my boyfriend and I moved into our own house. He proceeded to invite his parents to stay for the week. The same parents we've lived with for the past 5 years. FML
Nice try
Today, after spending days writing up an offer for a condo so my boyfriend and I could move in together with our 9-month-old, we found out they accepted a different offer. FML
Today, after moving into my new house, I agreed to let my house mates have a house warming on the condition it be a small one, as I have exams all day that day and one that I can't fail on the very next morning. The facebook event guest list now has 100+ confirmed guests. FML
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Today, after my housemate handed in his notice to vacate without telling me beforehand, I had few days whilst working to make a decision to stay or vacate. In a panic, I chose vacate. On my day off I sat down with my finances and discovered I can't afford elsewhere. I asked to stay, my landlord put up rent by 50%. I might now become homeless. FML
Settler mindset
Today, my sister and her common-law-husband intensified their hints that their family is growing (a teenage son, a pre-teen daughter, and a new baby coming in the way), and it's getting rather crowded. In short, they want me out of the house. They may have also forgotten the mere fact that it is my house. FML

Could be a blessing in disguise, if they're that thoughtful about everything else as well.

Discuss with them the possibility of finding a different house that can actually hold all 5 of you.

Yeah, I'm sure it's one of the other people.

Maybe there is enough rooms in the house to make one into a bedroom for you. Best of luck OP and hope training camp went well!

if he was at boot camp he wouldn't be on fml. the army does lots of training all the time not just boot.

The army doesn't have barracks, anymore?

This is HMRA of the UK, not the U.S. It works differently.

Prince Harry?! Don't worry, I'm sure your brother will let you move back into the castle!

I didn't know Prince Harry's female! ;o Nor that he (she? :P) had ever lived in a castle!

i actually had a similar situation happen recently with my two current roommates. and yeah, of course it hurts at first cause they're supposed to be your friends, but like other commenters have said, what kind of friends would just leave you behind like that? not true homies, that's for sure. I eventually realized that I should probably just find some better friends, and maybe you should expand your friend circle as well. you deserve better op
