Landlady let herself into my flat while I was in bed

Hi just wondering how I should handle this. I was in bed this morning at about 10.30am, having worked until about 4am. I heard the door knock briefly (a few seconds, I was half asleep and ignored), and then someone let themselves into the flat. It was my landlady. I called out from my bed "hello?" and she replied that she had just come to clean the hallway and wanted to get some water from the sink. She said immediately - "Oh are you sleeping?" and I said, "Yes, sorry". She went straight back out. I assume she only let herself in as she assumed I wouldn't be there and it would do no harm filling her bucket up with some water. I am not really angry, but I am uncomfortable with this. I'm aware it's illegal, and also don't like the idea she might just wander into my flat whenever she feels like it, without notice and agreement. I want to say something, and really want it to never happen again, but also want to maintain the friendly rapport that we have and not spoil the good relationship between me, Landlady and Landlord. How do I broach it? WWYD?

Baehole v BaeHole probably wasn't a disguise as such. Nothing to out.

I don't know how it happens but I think you can login with a different configuration of capitals and it recognises it as the same username but on a thread it doesn't recognise you as the OP

Hi, I NC'd to post on a different thread. Apologies for the mystery Grin

Still haven't heard back about either the entering the flat while I was in bed, or the mice.

Ll has previously said that she wouldn't want to use poison as it's inhumane, and they also offered to come and block up holes round the skirting board, hence contacting them rather than just sorting it myself. Am a bit disappointed at the lack of response; as I mentioned upthread, they have been very quickly in contact when rent didn't transfer immediately (they had given me incorrect bank details) and were quick to tell me that they were very disappointed when I hadn't responded within a matter of hours (I was working). I've been very polite and non aggressive throughout so seems a bit of a pisstake really. Sure they would be quick to act if there were mice running round their gaff! Hmm
