    Maybe this is a fairer representation (can you tell I get bored in London?):

    Heck you can't post that without telling us what the colours mean! I'm guessing red is for the undesirables, green is good and yellow for sick?

    BTW isn't it all a bit hard on NiceSoFarLodger? All that time and he never graduated to nice lodger, nicesofar sounds like he was always on probation :(

    I'm guessing orange is for "bearable" - inbetween good and bad?

    Yep - sorry you're right, it should be a scale of:
    Perfect :D
    Bit worrying :undecided
    Bad bad bad! :mad:

    So my really bad patches are three years apart. Which is really not that frequent. I had a good long stretch there of everything being fine.

  • Finally... I got to the end of the thread! And I'm convinced that letting out my spare room is not a good idea.

  • I think you just need to be a shrewd judge of character and not too trusting. A bit of assertiveness wouldn't go amiss either.

    About 12 years ago I stayed in a multishare house. The LL was lovely she lived in the house too, always made big pots off soup/stews etc.

    Before me she only ever let her rooms out to men, said women were moe hassle than they're worth.

    I persuaded her to let me stay and we got on like a house on fire, I loved it and her grandchildren used to come in and out of my room when they pleased and of course whne my door was unlocked :)

    She really got me out of a jam and I will always be eternally grateful to her for changing her rules on no women and letting me stay

    Anyhoo thats my story on it, I still wouldn't dare to let any of my rooms out though :rotfl:

    The sooner the better cause you sound like a person who is very fair, but if you leave it too long they might take advantage by having gotten used to being as noisy as they like. Good luck.

    Just found it funny, that this is still appropriate.
    If it rains, it rains.

    I need help for my Specialised subject on Mastermind : Badger Lady's House. For the last 4 months of his residency Nicesofarlodger displayed "worrying" behaviour. What was this?

    thanks!!!

    He started playing more music in his room... the poor old man next door was bed bound and his really sweet wife spoke to me a few times about how it was vexing her. The naughty behaviour coincided with Quackers moving in and then with him getting a girlfriend.
