Slightly depressed.... (CBPOB)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Email thread:

Idiot Coworker (IC): How do I log on to this application from home?
EvilBastard: Do you have an ID for it?
IC: [forwards me an email with his ID and instructions for logging on] I don't know if I have an ID.
EvilBastard: Did you read the email that you sent me?
IC: Yes - my question is pretty straightforward. How do I log on?
EvilBastard: You're kidding me, right?
IC: Don't take that tone with me!
EvilBastard: Did you read the email?
IC: Fine, I won't come to you for help again.

:roll:

Development of idiot-proof instructions will always lag the development of better idiots.

An unfortunate accident involving a low-flying seagull with uncanny aim and an unremitting grudge against humanity. :urff:

When something happens in life that should be such an amazing event of celebration, and it's only caused stress and unwanted feelings it makes me depressed. I'm trying to stay objective, but it's not possible anymore.

i'm going to be an aunty for the first time but it looks like my sister is going to be a single mum
it's all about circles and spirals
that ongoing eternity

Rent being hiked up retroactively. I suddenly owe £300 that I didn't before hand. I suspect a conspiracy to prevent me being able to move from this dump of a town. Hope Capital Gains wipes her BTL business out.

Woah! Where are you living that they can raise the rent and backdate it?! That cannot possibly be legal - do you have a lease?

Yeah, we do. In about late November the rent was reduced, because the house was falling apart and we didn't have hot water for extended periods amongst other things. Anyway, March-ish we're told the rent is being raised back up again after repairs, and we're fine with it. Until we're given a new bill showing arrears. Turns out she meant all the way back to the beginning. As the reduction wasn't in writing, we can't tell her to get stuffed. :(
It's not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things, but that was my deposit money for our new place, so am stuck trying to pay a pretty exorbitant rent and trying to find deposit money again. Hmmph.

I'd be inclined to threaten legal action - you've got enshrined rights as far as what you are entitled to as a tenant (like, hot water). So she lowered the rent during the repairs and now she's asking for you to pay the same rent as normal during the repair period. Not allowed. Small claims court should see you right, or pop into the local Citizens Advice.

...folllowing 24 hours in the hospital. The little fella had another fibral convulsion on Tuesday. :( Back home now - but a 20 minute fit is the most shocking thing to witness especially when it's your own flesh and blood. :|

Jesus man, that sounds like quite an appalling thing to have to go through. Best wishes.
