ClazUK Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) And how will your lodger/s feel when the *show home* turns into a student hovel at the weekends You're paying waaaaay too much attention to my posts, Mrs Moonboots Ok, off to get out of summery frock and into something a bit more business like. Then I'm going to pay a visit to Aldi and Sainsburys. Not to shop. Edited June 16, 2008 by ClazUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 You can advertise for lodgers for Monday to Friday, lots of people commute, or there are students who go home every weekend. Not sure where you live but as I'm just near the motorway, I put an ad on somewhere like Spare Room for Mon-Fri lodgers and got a few people interested, but things changed and I didn't go ahead with it. I could just about tolerate a lodger if I knew they were never going to be there at the weekends. You charge pretty much the same, and are also still entitled to use their room at the weekends, say if you had friends coming for the weekend.

ClazUK Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Aldi and Cineworld now have my CV - met the Manager at both which was nice. Sainsburys only take online applications nowadays There is a bloke on the Spare Room site looking for Monday to Thursday nights. My age, happy to live with dogs. Have dropped him a line. I think I'll go in tomorrow, find out what kind of notice they want, and take it from there. Thank you for lending a Fugee ear or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReikiAnge Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I wouldn't want to tell anyone else to walk out of a job but it sounds a dreadful place to work. Some employers just don't seem to realise that you get out of employees what you put in and bad management makes such a difference. Re lodgers - friends of ours started taking in lodgers after they got married/bought a house and they have had a few nurses lodging with them (only one at a time). That seems to work well as often the nurses are on different shifts and they seem to get a lot of private time - we've been to their house lots of times and never even met any of the lodgers. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zico's mum Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Sounds horrendous,can't believe your loo breaks are published that's draconian.Life really is too short to be working in such miserable conditions even in today's uncertain economic climate.I have a gap of about 5 months in my CV when I left my job in London and moved to Somerset and took a break,it has never been questioned ever by any potential employer at interview If I'm made redundant 01st July I'm off to Aldi,sadly we don't have one here but there is one in Bridgwater 15 miles away so could work part time maybe. ETA if you decide on lodgers ask the Accomodation Officer at your local University,FE College,Hospital - all will have staff who would welcome M-F lodgings only,especially if you reduce the rent slightly Edited June 16, 2008 by zico's mum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I would think your notice period would not be very long ( a week maybe ) so I would give notice first thing and finish up you do have experience for supervisory/managerial positions which would pay more and should allow you to have a wee without asking/being timed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafrisk Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Can you do office work? Only I *think* my sister's old job may be up for grabs at a local solicitors. She got upgraded to office manager. The only shyte bits are having to work from home occasionally during the week and them giving you a shiny laptop to do it with... Like I said really shyte Oh and having a manager that's 23, skinny (bitch) and drinks like a fish Honestly, she was the milkman's Edited June 16, 2008 by supafrisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
