    Lou hi-there-smiley.gif?1292867616

    I'm still getting used to living somewhere else. Which shops are where. Which are the best cafes? Found a good one yesterday - tea and chocolate cake (with cream ;)) £1.50 :money: I may go back :p
    The garden is a work in process but we have so many birds visiting it's great :D We seem to be spending a fortune on apples & pears for the baby blackbirds. Who knew they ate so much? :rotfl:

    I don't think it's you. I'd feel the same. I think you need to tell her. She's probably just young and thoughtless but it is your home and she needs to respect that if she wants to live there.

    I could have written this!! LMG is a NIGHTMARE for getting the bathroom floor wet which I then stand in with my socks on! Grrrr :mad: It's not actually anything to do with the shower (apart from the fact she's been in it) it's because she gets out the shower and stands on the floor without drying herself first then just wraps a towel round herself and walks out of the bathroom!! I've lost count of the amount of times I've nagged about it.


    Big hugs to you :)

    It's not you Beanie. My DD is the same, at least you're not related to the lodger. A lodger should have more consideration.

    Take care xx
