My landlady changed my agreement from a Tenancy agreement to a Lodgers agreement without informing me or asking my permission, can she do this? What is the difference between the two?

Whatever, unless your old contract was up or void for some failure on your part she cannot change it without your permission. And any new agreement wouldn't be valid unless you signed it.
Most definitions of lodger find it refers to a rented room or rooms within anothers home while tenant infers the rental or occupation of an entire home or property.

Not positive , but I think the tenant is by the month or a lease ,
And a lodger is less than a month ( daily or weekly ) .
Depending on where you live , there can be tax variables and or different eviction rules .
Although this definition came up on yahoo dictionary
lodg·er (ljr) KEY
NOUN:
One that lodges, especially one who rents and lives in a furnished room.

Assuming your existing Tenancy Agreement expired, then Yes, IF she lives on the premises AND provides you with services such as meals ...
Otherwise, no.
Main difference is that a Lodger has essentially no 'rights' to stay in the property ...

In england there is no such thing as a lodgers agreement. All tenancy agreement must be AST (ASSURED SHORTHOLD TENANCY) or a company tenancy agreement. It sounds like you are sharers and people living with you with is lodging which in an AST agreement this is breaching the cobtract as you are subletting!! speak to the citzen advice breau;

A lodger is not month to month, but day to day. It must be furnished, like a hotel room. Evictions take only a day or so and you do not have to give notice of vacating, as soon as your prepayment is done it is assumed you have vacated.
