Big Badger House (aka Noisy Lodger) HE'S GONE!

LovelyNeighbour, come back!0

Hi Badger, first of all well done for getting this far, it must be really difficult dealing with all this crap whilst you are living away.
I don't think there is any chance of him cleaning his room up when he comes back. If I were you, I would get started tomorrow, bag all his stuff up and have it ready for him when he comes back. I would not let him back in the house.
Good luck and good night.

Yeah, but I bet BL is thinking why should she have to spend her time cleaning up after him & packing for him?
I know I would be....0 -
Nite, Badger_lady and well done for not killing him!0

I would pack up everything of his, (rubber gloves of course!) including the rubbish so he can't say there was anything missing and put the whole lot somewhere where you can't see it and it's easily accessible - garage? cellar? shed? Otherwise you could have him in and out of the house for weeks!0

Many years ago I had a lodger who left a load of stuff, I bagged it and put it in the garage but he never came back! If you need to clear the room for a new tennent I wouldn't wait...0

I would highly recommend this method of action. Minimises hassle and means they don't spend hours 'packing' when they're really just malingering and raising your blood pressure!
Worked very well for my ex-hubbie when I finally kicked him out:rotfl:Penny: I'm a little low on cash.
Leonard: How much you got?
Penny: Nothing!
Leonard: How can you walk around with no money?
Penny: I'm cute, I get by.0 -
Yeah - that's what I did for NoisyLodger in the end. Of course he was actually grateful for the help - BigGunsLodger seems to have a completely different attitude.
Ugh, I just don't know where to start! It's not just rubbish - he's got stuff piled on top of stuff EVERYWHERE!
But I would like to start showing new PotentialLodgers round, I would like my burly friends to stay over this weekend and I do have my family coming over for Christmas II in a couple of weeks. So anything to expediate things, I guess.
The cleaner's coming round tomorrow - he may be able to help me if I've made good progress by then.Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0
