Exeter's affordable housing

Whilst most first time buyers are worrying about mortgages and down-payments the easiest way to keep the rain of is to bunk down in a nice cosy doorway.

Some people worry about door-stopping, feeling it may be uncomfortable or cold, but all that can be solved by following these simple rules.

Always take a sleeping bag, failing that stuffing your clothes with newspaper will keep you comfy and keep out the cold. If it still bothers you a few cans of Special Brew should help keep the wolf from the door.

Choosing the right doorway is essential. Pick somewhere quiet, a shop doorway is going to be needed early in the morning and you'll get woken up by an unhappy store manager. Try choosing a side door or an entrance that has been blocked off.

If you want to stop people bothering you altogether then try pissing or shitting yourself, the smell of stale urine and faeces is a known deterrent.
