    I tell you what, it is a bit of a relief though - it's funny how much more tense the house was having someone so quiet and generally unfathomable! I think we were more fed up with the sneaking around than anything else :rotfl: Can you imagine, though? You're sat in the living room watching a film and you can see there's someone behind the mottled glass door, very very slowly depressing the handle...

    Grrrr! :mad:

    Can't wait to see who comes next :) The room's been advertised on here - as usual there's interest already: https://www.spareroom.co.uk/475092

    Is that you and current lodger - you look like Amy Winehouse (albeit sober and prettier...)

    Hands up who's applying for a room?

    I'm considering calling my wife and seeing if she'll let me move away for a while! :D

    Well, so far I've made appointments for a mature French student and a 34-yr-old Englishman :)

    Thanks for the compliment Essexgal but I am making kissy-faces at a bottle of vodka - not the most sober of images! :rotfl:

    I think you'll have to vet them very carefully.....I can imagine a Channel 4 executive thinking this is the ideal place to film a new show..... BadgerLady's House - Lodgers from Hell.......:D

    Careful you might attract a stalker of the "I know where you live variety."
    (It is one thing to display an attractive "personality", but beware the power of the visual image. It accounts for 75% of our sensual input)

    Harry

    The mask is a clever move :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Well it's already in the public domain - how else can I advertise for a lodger? :confused:

    It could be the price of internet celebrity
    You don't really want some of these wreckers descending on your thread; but you have probably got the "bottle" to laugh it off.

    Good luck with the new tenant.

    Well, certainly the smoothest departure that Big Badger House has seen - a quiet knock on the door and MauritiusLodger had all his bags packed, waiting for a taxi. Room is beautifully cleaned out, ready to go! I'm just thinking about taking a photo of it - do you think it would benefit my SpareRoom advert?
