Oh dear here I go again. After 4 months of my new HM Ive had enough.

My landlord actually posted an ad on a big house share website stating he wanted a female min age 35 max 60, working, must like animals. It seemed like hed written in especially for me right? well yep... but who did he accept in the end? a 72 yo man, who thinks hes younger (kinda thinks he a bit smooth and suave actually) recently divorced, doesnt like animals (he cringes at my beloved cat as he walks past) doesnt work, spends most of his time around the house, cant clean (his ex wife never taught him)

Out of 4 possibles, 3 of which I never saw anyway, as landlord was doing the 1st interview with them and if he liked them theyd get to 2nd which meant Id then choose. Yet he gave me no choice. He dismissed a young woman with cats (tbh, that would have been difficult with my lion cub in residence) a mid thirties building contarctor (these guys are great, out at work, shower and out to pub) and a 30 yo asian IT genius Either of these guys would have been perfect...

I didnt like him from the minute I saw him. I sensed arrogance and saw kiss assing with the landlord yet I felt Id be a bad person if I said no to a person needing a home. I told him based on the last housemate a clean home was a priority and my landlord agreed with me. I asked all he did was hoover the stairs every week and leave everywhere as he found it and Id do the rest. He agreed. The first few days he didnt realise he had to buy washing up liquid or cloths and didnt even think about washing powder or binbags. He look put out when I said he couldnt use my eco (flippin pricey) things. Time goes on and hes just not my sort of person.

He is very very into his cult like religion ( Im not trying to offend anyone just stating a fact) and Ive heard some astounding nonsense. Hes into some spooky stuff. I find him creepy. He stands too close to me (or did as I now avoid him) doesnt circumnavigate me through doors or tight spaces. He would launch himself out of his room when he heard me come out of mine. He would come downstairs and watch me cook and clean up, just standing in the doorway.He even sometimes would say (in his arrogant very english accent) looking very clean in here, very good (like Im his beepin wife/ cleaner!!)He started asking me when Im in or out which I TOTALLY object to.

Little by little I found him intrusive and under my feet but most of all creepy. Maybe its partly because I had some experiences of older men when I was child (abuse) but a friend met him and said she thinks its also- he is just a bit slimy too. We are so mismatched and he now wont even hoover.

I dont feel comfortable in my pjs or a tshirt as he feels like hes eyeing me over. It would be so nice to have a hard working gal like me who likes animals to live with. My landlord has mismatched us totally and I felt awkward like I should give it a go but now hes here....that it.

He has a gf now (quick work there) and he has her round alot. She s a bit odd. She laughs like a hyena all the time. She not quite the full shilling Im sure . They were having beep the other night...Plllleease...I dont want to hear it thanks.

Thats my rant, sorry to go on, bit fed up but I shouldnt be living with him should I.....
