Due to some unfortunate circumstances- it appears I may have to find some kind of lodger for my spare room- anyone got any tips on looking for a housemate? I'm a bit wary of posting on gumtree in case only mentals apply.

If anyone's interested, there's a double room going in Nottingham, close to city centre, hospital and prison, £70pw plus bills. House has wireless broadband, sky sports and a range of guitar amps.
