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

BitterAndTwisted

I like the sound of a bloke getting all emotional when talking about leaving home and missing his nippers. Still, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a good lodger but at least he's got a heart.

I wonder what side-benefits there could be by having a chef in the house? Discounts on epicurean items? Cases of wine at cost?

That's just what I have done... given him formal written notice (which he has acknowledged) of:
- what items he's left behind,
- where they are being stored,
- plenty of opportunity to come and collect them,
- a deadline (2 weeks from the date of the letter) beyond which they will be disposed of and the manner of their disposal.
- various options on how to contact me.

That puts me perfectly within my legal right to commence disposal on the date I told him.

Well, as long as you've checked your info from various different sources and are confident that you understand your obligations, I won't mention it again.

How soon are you leaving for pastures new?

Oh, I miss PasturesNew! :rotfl:

I'm finishing work on 9th Feb (my birthday), then flying to Japan on 15th March for a few weeks, then driving round Europe. There's a wee itinerary here: map of travels

They're 6 and 8! His wife is moving out for the weekend while he goes to stay with them.

Isn't he staying at his daughters till he can move in? He has a kid from another relationship then

No, mates' sofas. He's only going to see the kids this weekend.

BL said he's at his daughters' this weekend, not living there - presumably lives on a mate's sofa, and then at the weekend is staying over (BL said the wife is moving out for the weekend so he can stay with the daughters)

I've just realised this thread has had nearly 261,000 views. That's impressive!

PotentialLodger2 is coming round at 10am... he describes himself as 'quiet', he writes well and he works full-time. He currently lives alone but needs to save money (one thing we can all identify with!). I told him there's no room available yet and that the house is in a bit of a flux, but he's still keen to take a look.

He might turn out to be a better bet than the nakedchef one - who seems to be floundering a bit imho

Oh NakedChef is keen as anything - we've been texting daily! His cheque should be cleared on Monday... he actually asked whether he could move in earlier if he gave me a £50 in cash, but I stood firm and said that it all had to be cleared before I could give him the keys (especially since Joanna's coming to London with me at silly o'clock Monday morning - she has a job interview there).

This one is looking to move in a month's time, when I go away.
