to want to kill our lodger?

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.

lodgers......shudders at the memories..came to the conclusion that they are not value for money. Perhaps not helpful but I really don't miss not having a lodger- they are a lot of hassle, even if really nice.

I have a lovely lodger - she works in a care home 5 mins away. she plays with the kids, babysits in exchange for a bottle of wine and works 6 days a week so she's not in my face She goes out quite she also eats at work so rarely even cooks in the kitchen. I am so lucky to have her - she is like a part of the family now. I separated from my DP earlier this year and she has been great company.

And she pays me rent!!

sorry to hijack your thread PSCMUM

MeMySonAndI · 02/10/2007 18:27

Are you offering her on exchange Zookeper?

HairyIrene · 02/10/2007 18:49

lol memysonand1

lol at this thread!

you have too much patience, pcsmum!

if he cant pay up then that swings it,surely?
gross inconsideration in house would have done it for me

i would have slapped him when he said 'you dont like washing up'
though washing up fascist is a classic and will personally miss the hilarity of this man and his untrained housie ways,
you guys cant live like this!

rightyho ladies!

here is the latest from Lodger War Command:

Left house at 7.30am with all the kids in tow, left house spotless as new childminder starting today and wanted her to think 'aaa, nice easy job, lovely children, nice house etc etc' so I tidied from top to bottom, even our room, clean washing all away, ironed, hung up etc .

DH has started new job recently and at the weekend went out and bought nice new posh clothes for work (he is the boss now so felt he should stop going in with egg on his t-shirt).

Got home, and have just entered my bedroom.

Guess what?

DH's new clothes are strewn across the bed, the label of one suit jacket is torn off, a white shirt that I ironed yesterday was in a ball at the end of my bed, and on top of this very keyboard where I am typing now, was another pair of DHs new trousers not previsouly worn by him, but now all scrunched up.

Now, if, you were going to go into someone elses room and nick their clothes / try them on, would you
a) do that in the first place?
b) chuck them all over the place so as to ensure you get found out
c) have a quick try on then hand them all back up again perfectly
d) take the fucking labels off???????????

seriously furious.

Have texted him to say can he please come home asap as we need to talk.

IT is showtime.

Dh not home yet so haven't told him. Feel sure he will arrive to me shouting at dickface.

re read your posts while you are waiting for him. it will remind you what a spoilt brat he is and keep your determination up. no more mrs nice pscmum!

bumperlicious · 02/10/2007 20:18

ew, after the 3some i'd be loathe to go near it

BellaBear · 02/10/2007 20:19

I would sooo tempted to put his stuff out on the streets and change the locks. That's probably illegal isn't it? I'm not sure I could talk to someone like this.

zookeeper · 02/10/2007 20:20

Do it slowly PCSMUM. He deserves it

zookeeper · 02/10/2007 20:21

Think of us all behind you in spirit when you "talk" to him.

Are you going to ask him to leave?

PSCMUM · 02/10/2007 20:22

yes slowly. perhaps with bottle opener.
Might get him to go to shop and get wine for me first though.

no, I';m going to lay down rules. So many rules:

  • you must not never buy toilet paper
  • you must not grow mould on my house
  • you must shut the door when you have sex
  • you can only have sex in yoru own room, preferably with a maximum of 2 other people at a time ( i need to rule out orgies)
  • you must do your own FUCKING washing up.
  • you must do your own washing and not leave it to go mouldy on the kitchen floor
  • you must not take clean and dry school uniforms out of the tumble dryer and put them on the (maky dusty) cellar floor so that pscmum has to start again (he did this today but it was kind of overshadowed by the Dh;s new clothes thing)

I agree with KerryMum - there is no way that man would spend a night in my house. He must go!

zookeeper · 02/10/2007 20:44

I can't understand why you're putting up with him

kindersurprise · 02/10/2007 21:03

Sorry, but I am ROFL at this thread.

PSCMUM,
you have to get rid of him! He is a nightmare. Even if you are worried about finding a decent lodger, how much worse could it get?

NotQuiteCockney · 02/10/2007 21:07

I'm sorry, but how will talking to him help? He called you a washing up fascist, for asking him to clean his own dishes!!! People who are reasonable and sensible and just missing an essential point can be spoken to. This man needs to be pointed at, and laughed at. (And then moved out of your house!)

He's not even paying!

MeMySonAndI · 02/10/2007 21:08

Actually, I would suggest putting all his things outside and save yourself some words, they are unlikely to go through anyway...

bumperlicious · 02/10/2007 21:18

I don't think rules are going to help - you have to get rid of him!
