yeah.. if
like I said your case is an outlier
having a rule on kitchen usage in a flat sharing scenario is weird and unnecessary in the vast majority of cases
Getting a lodger in, things to consider?

Agree, timed anything is weird. Sheldon Cooperesque.
Thought this thread was about having a Lodger not a Flat Share which are two different things as far as I know.
And mate with similar spec
completely irrelevant - it is wierd regardless

Internet usage would be another consideration. Set up a guest account on the router with QoS. Not sure what can be done about pirate sites, as the ISP account holder would be liable if a lodger was going on dodgy sites?
I lodged for a year back in 2000-1. Me and landlady were both full time workers, so it worked well for both of us. We figured out what times we each used the kitchen and stuck to those times. I went clubbing a lot (Bristol ftw!), and she was fine about that as I always came back in the house quietly. If I wasn't clubbing, I was normally up equally as late playing Final Fantasy 7/8 hehe. This won't apply to the OP, but it was dial-up internet back in 2000-1 and the landlady just itemised the telephone bill, then I paid whatever the dial-up costs came to at the end of every month.

I dont get why you would have stranger living in your own home.
When I shut my front door I know the only muppet coming through the door is the one I let in.
I dunno each to there own I guess!
Making life a lot more financially viable I suppose!
My own medium term plans involve buying a property and getting a lodger in for the financial benefit.
I literally just got turned down from a club there because I wasn't wearing shoes on a Saturday - wut!
Back to the shed and absinthe it is then.
Pretty much this, since my gf has moved out, I'm now paying mortgage & bills on a 3 bed house on my own, which doesn't leave a huge amount of disposable cash. The internet is something I didn't think of, So thanks
With regards bills, I was thinking all inclusive to save hassle, but obviously would need to have words if they were having 5 showers a day & leaving all the lights on ...

Damn! Which club was that? It might be different now, but when I was in Bristol in 2000/1, the dance venues (Academy/Creation/Café Blue) were quite lax - jeans, trainers etc. I think it was just hats that weren't allowed. Then in the cheese / meat market venues like the Works and Evolution, you had to go in shirt, trousers and shoes i.e. work clothes.
