to tell my landlord that I would look into paying the rent and get back to them?

[HecateHarshPants]

and then not.

and then when they phoned again, tell them that I was going to write a cheque and I'd probably post it within the next week.

and then not.

And then when they phoned again, tell them that my husband dealt with cheques, but only monday -wednesday, so he'd have to do it next week

And then when they phoned again - and by this time three weeks have gone past - tell them that I am going to write a cheque, but it won't be till next week and then it will take a week to get posted.

??

What? Not reasonable, you say?

Then WHY DOES MY LANDLORD THINK IT'S REASONABLE TO HOLD ONTO £500 OVERPAYMENT FROM ME?!!!!!!

grrrrrrrr

I think a mandatory explanation is required after every post.
Or a MN interpreter would be good.

YANBU to feel P'off. Cheques are unbelievably difficult for some companies to write :(

::head desk::

That's my last one. It's for all of you ::peers at Trills over her glasses:: who can't seem to actually read the fucking OP properly and therefore are still fucking talking about this!!!

I have managed to fold all the laundry, take a bath, feed my son lunch and put him down for a nap. And some of you still can't read a fucking OP.

::and breath::

Hecate, I just want you to know that I love you very much, and if it ever doesn't work out between you and Mr H I would like to marry you. Even though I'm not gay. And even though you are benefit-claiming scum. I'm not even after your £500, honest.

I may actually take you up on that.

Funnily enough, I was saying to my husband last night that I quite fancied the idea of him having a second wife (in his culture this used to be the norm) because it would be lovely to have another woman to chat with, go for coffee with etc

He went pale and clammy and said two of you ganging up on me?

And then he went on to tell me all the reasons why it wouldn't work.

Bless him. I let him go on for about 10 minutes before gently telling him that I had in fact been joking.

His relief was enormous

Tee Does your head hurt after all that banging? :o
We've moved on now and all understand each other I think :o

this for tee...(i know the thread is dead but Iv been to a birthday party and so could not respond earlier)...read the posts, i think all was cleared up well up thread. some people just simply dont agree that does not mean they do not understand the OP.

have you seen anyone for that nervouse head tick you have, i expect it gets pretty painfull after all that head banging
