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.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Jasonlondon · Posted

      Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Monkey · Posted

      Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
