The agency phoned yesterday to tell me that they'd spoken to the landlord now that everything was definate to negotiate on things like furniture (I wanted a bed, now I want a house). His response was something like, "Ah. While I was away on holiday my mum let my house and there's nothing I can do about it". I thought this to be something of an interesting situation as I thought landlords had to sign tenancy agreements too...? What ever happened fundamentally it's neither my fault nor the agency's but I intend to make them pay. I can't actually afford to make any more trips to The Other City. The agency are gutted and angry too because it makes them look incompetent apparently. So does mistyping every letter that's gone to my mum so she's even less impressed than she was before!
The agency tried to find me another property in the same area of the City and even negotiated a cracking discount for me but it's still over my budget. I told the agency that fundamentally I didn't care what had happened but I care how they are going to fix it and I care that I'm technically homeless after Saturday. They are also going to provide me with a list of properties, a driver and someone to show me round anywhere that I want to see. Because I've already been through the mill at the agency they can confirm somewhere straight away tho. I have been offered accommodation with friends and everyone is being really supportive but it's hardly the ideal way to start my career.
I'm going up north tomorrow night and will stay until I have found somewhere. This means I *need* to pack everything today in case I don't make it back here. It's really sad that I'm losing so much time with the sisters. I'm supposed to be having a sort of end of time meeting soon but I don't know when it's going to happen.
Just to top things off, the guy (ex housemate) who was harrassing me earlier in the year is back in touch. He's been trying to talk to me on messenger while I've been typing this and he emailed me twice to get in touch. If I'm not talking to him and haven't in over a year, you'd have thought he'd get the message. I've now blocked him from messenger and his emails fall into the spam filter but it's still not nice.
Suk, If you find this you are doing well, as I don't think you know I have this. If you haven't already got the message, I DO NOT EVER want to hear from you again. I have changed my mobile number and you don't have it. I haven't told you where in the country I am and I have absolutely no intention of. I have been advised to report you to the police and the medical school for your inappropriate behaviour and all in all, I've had enough. If you have problems with this, tough. You should have thought about that before making my life a misery. After I moved away last year I hoped I'd never have to suffer you again.
Anyway, back to househunting...
