to want to kill our lodger?

[PSCMUM]

He is a pig. He leaves socks everywhere. He does not do his own washing up. WE have a cleaner who comes once a week, she cleans while we are out, he comes home before we do, and effectively trashes the place. Pots in the sink, washing on the kitchen floor, (yesterday it was on the dining table!), shoes everywhere, wet towels on the bathroom floor, I just found a glass of wine outside his room with MOULD in it. I came home from work today, walked into my bedroom, to find that he had been using the computer in here (totally fine) but had left his coffee cip and half a plate of steak and kidney pie in here!!! (not ok) am so furious. I had to relly talk myself into nt hurling into his bedroom.

He is so nice though, really nice with the children, really plays with them, chats to them, explains things to them. But I might still have to kill him.

Murder on the kitchen floor.

PSCMUM, so glad it has all worked out for you

PSCMUM
Well done, glad to hear that you have sorted everything out.

Bumping 'cause I want to hear the rest of the story.......

the story is nearly over...we've given him a months notice. DH will not hear of giving him any less. He is moving out end Nov, new lodger moving in day after. HAs signed contract, come up with deposit, references, all the usual stuff. (not fur us obv, whole new experience for us!) I wanted to throw him out next week as he hasn;t paid rent for OCt, and I though at least we could get some rent for Nov. But anyway, we will now be without rent for Oct and Nov, he will live in the room rent free for both those months (not bitter at all) but he will be gone by end Nov and we will beomce solvent people once again. His not paying the rent means that although we can afford it, as in, we have the money to cover the mortgage without his rent, it is coming out of our savings, and in fact, is completely using up our savings. DH is cool with this. I am furious with this, tempered slightly by fact it will all be over soon.
so i feel good about it, and vaguuly pissed off about it at the same time. Dh says 'mercenary is not attractive'. I went out and got v drunk.
aaaahhh. happy familles!

Good to hear that it is nearly over for you PSCMUM, but at you not getting any rent for Oct and Nov, I can see why you are annoyed.

Hope all goes well with your new lodger.

Why is your dh determined to be so soft? This man has made your lives a misery and owes you oodles of money, but your dh is willing to give him another rent-free month. Very bizarre.

Does your lodger have something on him???

no, my lodger doesn;t have anything on him. But they are from the same place and go back years, i think that is why DH won't just fling him out like I want to. I havent known him as long.
Poss we might get some rent out of him for one of the months.
bollocks.
its so annoying, freeloading little git, but i want it over, soon .its becoming v draining now actually much more so now, with only a little while to go til its over, than it was in the early months when it began to dawm on me that this was a disastraous arrangement!

You'd better go through with this now, PSCMUM - even though the thread made entertaining reading! I'm keeping this on Watch so you won't get away that easily from us....

is everyone still there?

probably not.

I thought I would give you another update.

HE is ALMOST gone - is uptodate with rent, and is leaving on last day of november. lovely new person moving in.

last night, as if some kind of leaving present, the girl he has been bringing back reguoarly over the last few weeks came back. they got home at about 3am. There were loud footsteps past our room. then i overheard some sex. or at least some moaning. and then there was really loud banging, and shouting, and then a big lot of banging. They had both fallen down the stairs, and landed right outside my bedroom door. If i had had a baseball bat available, I would have used it. I cannot explain how furious I was. I threw them both out into the street, half dressed, off their faces, i felt a bit guilty and so opened the door again and threw out his coat. then i went back to bed. he didn;t have the gall to ring the bell. god knows where they went. he is baclk now though. different girl. watchging a dvd in his room, and having sex. well at least that is what i think they rhythmic shaking and moaning noise is.

any comments guys??????????????????????!"""

keep counting down the days.

TBH as he has a definate leaving date there is prob nothing you can do except ask him to be a little more considerate (I wouldn't bank on it happening though).

Well done for getting rent up to date though.

Thank god. You have found your inner irate landlady. Well done on the nocturnal eviction and we'll be counting down the days for you.
My, but he is a persistant young man though.

me o my yes he is!

and the ladies, they seem tolove him! the one he fell down the stairs with he is moving in with!! and he is currently shagging a different one upstairs!!
its brilliant.

I'm glad you can see an end to it all and he is up to date with his rent.

I am afraid I would be awfully wicked and happen to mention to girlfriend #1 that he was seeing girlfriend #2. You know just in a casual way, but then I am a bitch

I kept you on Watch and I thought you'd forgotten about us! Well done for getting the rent off him!
You could write a book about this fella.
Thank goodness this thread has a happy ending.

You HAVE to name and shame him!!

We don't want to end up with him as our lodger!!

Hi PSC,

What's the news? Has the old lodger gone and new lady moved in?

Come on don't leave us in suspenders

What's the new lodger like?

Hope you had a good Christmas
