I think it automatically happens if you post in the thread - I don't recall subscribing to some threads on here yet I do get notifications. The updates are often dead slow though, sometimes lagging 12 hours or more.

Potential Lodger 2 came round last night!

He was really, really nice - very friendly, with a lot of similarities to myself (he lives near my grandparents and plays piano and flute). He stayed for a cuppa and a chat and we both really liked him. He's trying to reduce the cost of his worktime accommodation so I gave him the option of short-term pricing. Basically, instead of just renting the room full-time, he could just rent it for four days a week on the weeks he needs it at £15 a day, £60 a week. This would work out to a maximum £250 a month, less when he's out of town, and would give me the option of renting or using it for guests at weekends. As long as he always booked his return date, I would make sure it was ready for him to come back.

I know that means I might get potentially less money overall, but I think that's OK - it might even get me under the Rent a Room Scheme threshold, which makes the tax bit easier. And I do like being able to put my visitors in a nice double room to themselves!

Anyway, he's going to see some more places tonight and then give me a call either way

So would he be parttimelodger?

Phew! Several days later and I've finally caught up. It's great to be living in present day Badgerworld

Waiting with baited breath here!

If he takes it, can he be The Music Man?

ok this is bugging me now and i need some help otherwise i will fail my BigBadgerHouse O level.

Cos I read this thread over about 4 days I have lost the plot somewhat and I just HAVE TO KNOW: was there a female lodger who nicked the keys to the house around the time she was leaving for not paying her rent? Did I imagine this? Or read it elsewhere? Help!

Badger_Lady

Ellie2758 I think QuackersLodger forgot to hand in her keys straight away, but she did come back in the end.

Actually she's been back a few times and paid up all of her back rent

Hope that helps!
