I've had the garden landscaped this week and they finished today. The landscaper has done lots of work for friends so I know he's really trustworthy. Because of this, I've not locked the back door if I've gone out (am WFH) and they're here.

We discussed earlier in the week that he realised this was the house his mum grew up in. So we spent some time talking about that and I said that I'd tried to preserve as many of the original features as I can.

They have been coming into the house all week to use the loo but there's a big extension across the back of the house where the loo is so no need to go into the rest of the house.

Anyway, today I went to do the school run which they know takes me about 30 mins and I've realised that he has wandered around the ground floor of my house (I can't tell if he's been upstairs) because I can see his footprints.

AIBU to be disappointed and pissed off? I would have let him look around if he'd asked. I would have been happy to.

I'm really annoyed. I'm so pleased with the work he's done but now I don't want to recommend him. And I don't want to say anything because it will make me sound like Miss Marple.

Could he possibly have not realised you had gone out and was looking to have a word? (Clutching at straws here! I want to believe he wasn’t just being nosey!)
