    Good news on lodger. Give him space at the moment and just let things flow.

  • yay to the lodger, seems you've manifested someone similar to yourself in the fact you have similar jobs! I like the fact he wants his own space, it will be easier to transition to having another soul in the house.

    Interview was to be Thursday or Friday so you could hear tomorrow? 

    The other one you stated they said it would go quiet for a bit? 

    You need to be patient and let things move along at a normal pace

  • Good luck today! Hope the journey goes well and the meeting!

    I would just let the lodger find his feet before befriending if that is your wish...I reckon if it were me lodging I would feel like I am intruding on someone else's space even if I were paying and would also be sneaking out and trying to make myself small until I had settled. I am sure he will be fine enough when he is settled.
