this is as opposed to the timeline of 3 weeks i believed i had to stop all bills, pack up my one bed flat and put it all in storage.

SHIT!!!! I'm well and truly fucked

Oopsy. Do you want their offices bombing?
there's a lesson learned here - dont ever take the words of a ditsy bird on the phone who blatantly doesnt know whats going on.... she confirmed my dates weeks ago... feel free to dismember her please.

screwed... just screwed... at this rate im gonna have to just set up camp on the beach with all my crap... and i have 48 hrs to do it all in... and im in london..

my mobile phone has died so i'm trying to resolve the whole bloody thing by email...

i'm sure there's some rules on the amount of time they have to give the tenant official notice to move out, and 2 days seems way to short (more like 2 weeks!) and it should have been done by letter. Can prob find out for you.

now wanting lamb mince too... make mince meatballs wth assorted spices, wrap it in bacon, stick it in a hollowed out tomato and then sprinkle with cheese. bang it in the oven for about 20 minutes... done.

Yeah do that, think they're under £20 p/w and you should get most of your stuff in there. Just get some van type to give you a hand, give us a call if you're stuck (not that I drive vans or lift anything heavy though)

kid - that was my plan... had a guy round yesterday to quote it and booked him all up for 3 weeks time - trying to change it now...

and datura - they did give the notice two months ago... it just isnt consistent with what i was discussing with the landlady directly and she's on holiday for 2weeks- massive fuckup in communication but technically the stuff they sent me is the only legal part and it says i'm out..... hence the being screwed thing

thanx shonks - it's much appreciated.... i've got a certain amount of rights here so may be able to at least negotitiate until after the wkd... then i'd be ok. It's trying to do it without losing the deposit.

just a bit of a mare what with work the way it is as well...

excuse my public venting! just in shock.

Do they have it in writing that you're out in two days? If not then they can get fucked and you can just put the error on them. You might still be able to swing it if you know what was agreed and the vacuous office bint is a little implausible

Just come back from work to find out I'd left the grill on for 3 hours. Really must not do that. Bit smoky but nothing burned down so all good.

DDD, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that (notice or otherwise) you can't be evicted from a property without a court order? Or is that the French..!?

Wish I could be lucky in an irresistible to ladies and having the midas touch sort of way though. Still better than having everything burned to cinders and then having to explain to the neighbours why the contents of their flat will fit in an ashtray

All about the small victories I guess

It's all good then.

Anyway, I'm currently procrastinating to the ultimate: I have an essay that is due in by 4pm on the 6th May (yes, yesterday), instead I'm posting bullshit on here whilst eating Frosties (near the bottom of the bag.. mmm, sooo much sweeeeeterrr) and am about to get up and re-arrange my room.

I'm thinking about contributing to the "People who don't like Hip Hop" thread, but fear my post would cause much frothing and flapping. So I'm not going to.
