Hi,


I'm a staff journalist on a national paper.

I'm looking for females who might have a story to tell about a lodger in their home.

Did you rent a room out and fall in love with your lodger?

Did you have a bad experience with a lodger? Did they leave you in debt or even attack you in some way?


You would need to photographed and identified if you wanted to share your story.

PM me if you would like to chat.


Thanks,

Penny.

I would think you should identify Youself (staff journalist on a national paper)??

before you ask others to divulge sensitive information to you.

Of course I will, should anyone wish to PM me to chat, as I said.

I didn't ask anyone to divulge any sensitive information to me, before I tell them who and what the feature is for, nor would I.


The "photographed and identified" part refers to possibly appearing in the newspaper, further down the line. I'm not asking you to identify yourself to me now.

Thank you for your helpful post and possibly putting off someone who may have a valuable story to share.

Actually...there has been a lot of coverage lately about how people are turning to renting a spare room out in times of financial trouble.

We are a features section simply looking for stories, uplifting or not so, of those who have rented a room out and had some sort of experience through doing so.

Really, what is wrong with you lot?

I have met some truly inspirational people through this forum who have shared stories of joy and also pain with me, that will no doubt have helped someone, somewhere in similar situations and have been very thankful to hear from those forumites.

Why do people have to post negative comments on threads that are of no interest to them? There is plenty of other 'shite' on here for you to fill your empty life with if you need to.

I posted a simple, polite thread asking people to get in touch should they so want to. I won't post on here again for case studies, which is a shame, but I'm tired of the 'thread bashers.' It's so boring.

Anybody who describes women as "females", as you do in your first post, has a problem, imho.


Glad you've met some "truly inspirational" people through this forum who have "shared stories of joy and also pain" with you - care to share also who they were?


And why the jibe about people with an "empty life" posting on here? What is an empty life, exactly??


Why are you looking for people whose lodgers attacked them?! Who has the empty life here?!

Sue, have you even read the OP? Clearly, I gave 'being attacked' as an example. Another boring, irrelevant comment. Why have you even bothered to respond? I don't need an answer to that by the way, just perhaps ask yourself the question and then move on.

Haters, it is tedious isn't it.

I'm considered a troll by the regulars :)


Good luck with your story.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
