sashagoblin at 06:07pm on 02/11/2010 under lovely friends 1) I LOVE YOU ALL, for being caring and supportive and generally just fucking wonderful. I don't know what I'd do without you, i really don't. Thank you so much to everyone who commented or texted - you did *so much* to help restore something approaching sanity, so thank you.
2) Spoke to managers/landlord's agents - it's them that demanded compensation for last time, and are being cagey about putting things in writing; i don't even know who the landlords are, given that my contracts are signed 'on behalf of Hockley Lodge Ltd' and nobody except old people's homes in Ireland come up when i google that.. Anyway, they said they sent their plumber in yesterday (while I was out, and without telling me: are they allowed to do that??) and apparently my shower door leaks, or doesn't fit properly, or something (I noticed that before, but as I hardly ever use the shower, seemed little point in kicking up a fuss about it; certainly the floor always does seem to get very wet when anyone showers) so they claim the leak did come from my flat. They're sending another plumber in tomorrow or thursday to sort it out. Am a bit confused over previous tenant's compensation claim, as they're claiming 160 for a nintendo console plus a game, which Grace who knows all tells me is way over the odds. (Also, contents insurance? I have insurance now, too! might that cover it? Am i still liable if they don't have any?) Eep. They weren't blaming me in a nasty way, tho, yet...
3) Just ftr, because I don't want false sympathy, I'm pretty sure I don't have an ongoing anxiety disorder. I do have a very strong trauma/stress overdrive response which is apparently common for people in/coming out of abusive/traumatic/destablisising situations or relationships, and i'm officially mildly anxious and mildly depressed, but certainly not in any kind of day-to-day debilitating sense, and it'd be denigraing the bravery of those of you who do have such things to claim I suffer at any equivalent level.
4) did i mention i loved you all? xxx

2) Very, very, very dodgy. Take this to the law centre, or CAB otherwise.
3) This is not your problem unless you have actually done something specific to cause the leaking. Which you haven't. Tell them they need to take it up with your landlord. Don't give them any money and don't tell them you're ever going to give them any money.
4) They should generally give you at least 24 hours' notice; however, it would probably be fair to treat this as an emergency, so it would be a bit unreasonable to make a huge fuss in the circumstances, IMHO.
