yeah ... but it's not though, is it?
Even if they don't need it, as guarantor he's still responsible for the rent. I'm not sure there's such a thing as a "half-guarantor" I'm sure he can trust you, but it's a major responsibility. If you got hit by a car tomorrow he's still probably got to cough up 12 months rent, for instance. He'd be a bit of a arse if he didn't at least discuss it with his wife, and maybe she's not keen?

And if that was the case, I'd accept and move on
But it's the fact I've heard nothing from him since Saturday lunchtime, when I told him I needed to know asap.

that is quite a long discussion.
maybe he's bottling saying no, in which case I think a light slap from you would probably be justified.

Then just ring him
and tell him you need an answer. A bit of light hassling is probably justified, since it seems to be such a big deal.

I'm going to give him a try at lunch
If he doesn't answer, then I'm going to have to go to my backup plan - One of my other siblings
