It shouldn't. Might raise a few eyebrows maybe, but if they're just going for lunch, that's not cheating.

I thought of antifreeze as well, plus draining the pipes, but I'm really not confident enough to do that by myself. Plus I know nothing about the house... I don't even know where the main water valve for the flat is etc (it's not the whole house,we just rent a flat in it). In the end I just asked the neighbour to turn on the heating once in a while; I hope that will be enough.

Everything

I thought Juno was awful too Cheesy, unrealistic, and the girl was more than annoying.
