    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... well I'm sat in my room (was in the shared living room for the last 3 hours), and still not a peep...

    I can't hear anyone upstairs (but then I rarely can), I haven't had any kind of message and haven't got my keys back. His shaving mirror is still in the bathroom.

    There's a "status update" on Facebook, left 3 hours ago, complaining that he's had a chest infection. No mention of moving into a penthouse.

    How do I find out if he's moved? I'm scared to knock!!!

    Tap on the door and ask if he would like a cup of tea before he leaves ?? - if there is no answer pop your head round the door and ask "R u ok I was worried you might miss ....... (whatever)"

    go for it !!!

    When's the new lodger due to move in?

    I'd have just barged in and said in a surprised tone 'oh, thought you'd gone - was going to text you to ask you where the keys were....so-and-so's moving in early.......

    see, I'm Mrs Tact really:rotfl:

    I'm not overly impressed, but...
    No, I was just confused! :-D

    Of course, you have run out of rent now - so you're welcome to take your time, but it's £10 a day (£300 divided by 30 days in a month).

    Just give me a date so I can get things sorted out? I've got replacement furniture waiting to be picked up, and need to arrange van hire etc. I don't want to leave my kind Freecyclers hanging on!

    Hope you're OK anyway - as always, do give me a shout if you need anything, I'm here most of the weekend.

    see, he's mentioned BUPA - that's supposed to get you feeling guilty about asking the poor lamb to get gone whilst he's 'not vewwy well'.

    Bet he manages a feeble cough or two on the way in too.....:rotfl:
