As some of you might remember we have a lodger...who is over from Bangladesh, an ex employee who used to work in our shop.
The original plan was that he was coming to Belfast for 1 year and needed somewhere to stay for 1 month until he got himself somewhere else to stay....that was in January and he is still f'ing here!!!! and I can't ask him to leave because h2b likes him being here ?
H2b said the old time "favourite" "Stay as long as you want" and this prick (for use of a non-offense word) decided that he would take that as gospel.
Here is the bit that is p'ing me off (apart from him still being here all this length of time), I have asked him time and time again to clean up after himself, not to leave any cooked food out of the fridge, to clean anything he uses, to clean the downstairs bathroom (especially the shower as both h2b and I use it even though we have a bath upstairs) and since we have got the kitten to make sure that the toilet seat is down and the door is closed to the downstairs bathroom and to make sure front and back doors stay closed at all other times.
RANT ALERT
Last week he ran from upstairs right out the front door, leaving both internal and front door open - kitten could of gotten out so I told him the next time he does that whether he has a key with him or not I will be closing the front door.
Today, I got really fed up with the state the kitchen was left in, cooked rice sitting out, oven roast tins sitting on the floor, used egg slice and pot sitting on cooker, sugar sachets on counter and used knives forks and plates left beside sink!. The bathroom was another matter!, I hate bars of soap as they leave all that grunge about and the shower tiles are covered in it, the sink taps are covered and TMI Alert, I don't think he has cleaned the toilet seat in a while ?, let alone hairs left in the shower basin.
Now I know that h2b and I aren't the tidiest of people but its our house, he is only a guest (who has well oustayed his welcome as far as I'm concerned), we clean each others "mess" and we don't need someone else to add to it.
So, I asked our lodger to come into the kitchen and pointed everything out, he tried to blame h2b and me until explained to him that I had cleaned the kitchen the night before as my little bro was over for dinner. I also told him that a lodger shouldn't be needing asked to clean up after themselves.
Aaaand guess what I have just found on my way into the kitchen?????....a letter from "the lodger", asking for the kitchen to be left in its current state (after ME asking HIM to clean it) and if possible could the cat food and litter tray be moved from the kitchen (he didn't have a problem with this a few weeks ago when I explained this to him)...then any suggestions!
I don't know about you and correct me if I am wrong but I have the litter tray in the kitchen below a counter and it's nowhere near food, it gets cleaned out on a daily basis...am I wrong for keeping there?....it will be getting moved into the downstairs bathroom when the lodger goes cos then I can make sure that the toilet seat is in the down position.
So I wrote said "lodger" a ltr saying "The cat food is fine where it is, the litter tray is fine where it is and I told him where the litter tray will be going when he goes in January. P.S. Suggestions...you clean your mess and we will clean ours"
So what do you think...am I in the wrong? ...give me some tips to help keep sane for the next 4 months...PLEASE!!!!
