Why would you not want a heated blanket?

I live with another person and they have been working from home all day. The heating has been turned up to 23/25 degrees (I can see from the app). I didn’t think it was partially cold today - between 8-10 degrees but I have been told my spare room can get cold.

The thermometer is usually kept in her room but it was in the living room for a few weeks (she was away, didn’t want it kept in her room).

As the radiators were turned down low the temperature didn’t increase in the living room and as a result her bedroom radiator has been on full power all day (there is no tmv).

I have told her to put the thermostat back in her room (third time of asking, so this time it was

What exactly should she be cleaning and cooking?

@RantyAunty is she shitting in the toilet? What the hell.

She might not be if she shits at work.

The landlord will have to inspect for arse water on the floor to be sure.

I think you should give her notice.

You obviously are unable to respect her wishes or her privacy and the situation is clearly causing you stress.

Best for both of you if she moves on and you either manage without a lodger or find someone you're more compatible with (and learn to respect their privacy).

I think this is the big issue. OP is unable to respect her wishes and does seem to resent her/think she should have absolute power and doesn’t need to compromise.

Fact is (legally speaking or not) when you need the money so open your home to a lodger, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t have all the comfort of having your own space while still collecting rent from someone else.

I couldn’t cope with a lodger myself but then that’s why I don’t have one!
