    OK, are you ready for this?

    He's (apparently) stuck in hospital, where he's been all day, with his baby daughter. She's very ill, they don't know what's wrong with her, so they're waiting for test results.

    He'll be in touch when he's finished there.

    :mad: :mad: :mad:

    and there was me thinking he was down the pub with his mates and couldn't be a**ed to come and pick his stuff up.:rolleyes:

    So why can't his brother come and collect it then....:confused:

    I'd reconsider letting him off paying the rest of what he owes you if he's going to start playing silly bu**ers - he's not stuck to what was agreed so he could dam* well pay what he owed.

    I'm cross on your behalf now....:mad:

    Put it all in the front garden and text him to say that's where it is. Then close your door and forget all about him.
    :p Proud to be a MoneySaver! :p

    He shouldn't have his phone on in a hospital anyway, so how did he answer? ;)

    tell him a friend of his is welcome to come and pick up stuff from the front garden, using the van he had arranged (:rolleyes: ) and bring everything to the house he's staying at ....

    Text him back, and ask what ward she's in, as you'd like to drop off a card.....
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    That used to be the case, but in many cases these days it's changed and they're allowed.

    And/or he might have popped outside to make/take calls.

    However, I think he's down the pub.

    Hmmm. am I too cynical to think that this is an excuse and there's nothing wrong at all?

    He's not taken as much a you thought so I'm afraid I think he's taking the mick seriously.

    I'd ring him and tell him you've got someone moving in so you're very sorry but he will have to get a friend to move stuff or pay for storage and arrange that or it all goes in the front garden.

    You allow multiple guest stay overs? And this is the friend who's got a friend who'll rent this soon to be empty room? Hmm. You're far too nice for your own good.

    Wouldn't be that strange - I work for the hospital radio!

    Not quite how it sounds - Lodger2's girlfriend is actually my friend (they've met through me). So she and the baby used to come for visits even before he moved in (she lives 100 miles away).

    And the brother was over to look after the baby while the three of us went out :grin:.

    Hang on a minute... someone's just gone upstairs and is pouring a bath, from the sounds of it... :eek:
