Moved (again)
Well a lot's happened since I last posted, and I've been a little reclusive whilst dealing with it, so here's the rundown.
Just before Christmas I made the mistake of standing up to the bullying housemate... this did not turn out well. Threats of violence, shouting, pounding on the door, bathroom defiled (separate bathroom from the rest of the house), food going missing or spoiled, post unaccounted for... and the landlord and the police wouldn't do anything without evidence. I'd hoped he'd become more reasonable over the holidays, but no, in the end it was just too much living there.
So now I've moved. A lovely big flat, but a little too lovely; it's expensive. This wouldn't be such a big problem, but the old landlord is refusing to release the contract - again, he demands proof of what happened - so that's two lots of rent/bills to pay.
And of course, all of this has only delayed getting back online - it might still be another two weeks before I have a connection. Missing all my old friends on MSN dearly.
