Im not sure youll be able to end things neatly, maybe just being firm about not opening a bank account and on reflection the house sharing thing wasnt a good idea?
Imo if you can be assertive and assured about it (which if youre seeing it as sport shouldnt be too hard) then you might get a bit of a meh response response from her as she realises that her charm hasnt worked and will see that you cant be manipulated and so will move on to her next victim.
Show some weakness over it and Id bet shed go mental at you as these kinds of people can just smell it and will use it to further manipulate you - it can only go one of those two ways?

Yeah, I've just been tied up (figuratively) and haven't seen her since posting this. Which is good, I suppose, because it gave me some space and time to plan.
I think you're right that this won't end neatly, regardless of what I do. But maybe that's the key. She's involved in a messy romantic affair with a co-worker, so perhaps that's my out.
