Help me shrink myself by half.

My girlfirend and I are about to move in to a new 3 bedroom flat with a couple of other friends, where we're going to be sharing one room together. How do we cope? We've got the biggest room, which is reasonably spacious, but it's still going to be pretty cramped. I imagine personal space will also be a problem. We've shared rooms before, but then I always had my own place to go back to if I needed it.
I'm looking for tips or personal experiences from people who've done this before. Any out there?

How to use Quicken if you're an unmarried couple

Quicken: If you're unmarried but living together, how should you answer the "are you married question" when setting up Quicken? My fiance and I are setting up Quicken on my computer. We'd like to use it with both of our various accounts (right now everything's separate, though soon, I'll be added onto his checking account/joint). The wedding isn't until 2007 (and hence not in this tax year).

When you go to set up Quicken, it asks if you're married or not. If you answer yes, it lets you enter in information for your spouse. If you answer no, it only seems to be able to accept the one person.

Should we just go ahead and answer yes? Or is this going to cause undo confusion when it comes to (turbo)tax time?
