    Yikes, what happened? I'm not overly well positioned to help but if there's something I can do I'll try!

    Rubbish... I can store them in my house if you like :naughty:

    In all seriousness though - geographically we're not that far apart so if I can help out then let me know :)

    (I likely won't sell anything at all, potentially I am being melodramatic, and I do have until the end of June - landlords are rotten, as are their desires to renovate the houses that they own and turn them into wonderful family abodes.)

    full story:

    there is some legislation or new rule about landlords/ladies having to have some kind of license thing to rent their property out to group of individuals rather than family units etc. and she doesn't want to do that, instead she wants to renovate the house and let it out to a family unit - so we been served papers this morning telling us to be out by the end of June! I get on really well with the agency, so they called us first and have been really nice about it etc. But, it's still the house I've lived in for the last 4 years, so it's annoying, and annoying.

    That's not a huge amount of time though... Regardless - offer still stands bud :)

    Can she do that though? Evict you on such short notice? Here in Holland they have to inform you at least three months in advance.

    Sucky news sucks. That must be infuriating, Margon.

    I doubt I'm in a position to offer anything other than moral support, but if I can help I will.
    Many, if not most, residential rental agreements offer as little as 30 days notice.

    Best wishes aside (and you really do deserve them Matt) - this might end up being a bargain tomorrow evening. Not my cuppa, but would be a lot of keyboard if the price was right.

    Well, I have lived there 4 years now, so it's not a fixed term contract anymore, it's a rolling contract, so yeah, really they are being nice giving us 2 months and a bit as it could be like Spreadie says as little as 1 calendar month. It's bonkers.

    Booo hiss what a stinking day.

    Of course, if you make it difficult and don't move out, it would take her months to go through the process of getting you physically ejected.

    However, this only works if you're a stinking bum with no assets, because if you're not you'll lose your deposit, all legal costs, your dignity and gain a nice CCJ to prevent you from being able to rent anywhere else :)

    Yep, less than 30 posts to go now until the big 20k :)

    Krikkit/Nexxo could have made every post in this thread by themselves (individually) and still have more posts elsewhere than 95% of regular forumites!

    bindi is not close to single hand-idly doubling this thread in posts. He is the top poster on the forum.

    Bindi is special. All those articles!

    Meanwhile, I'm desperately waiting for the location of my Leopold to change from "Flytexpress Sorting Center" :lol:

    This hobby is not good for the impatient....

    Seems like my Orion might get shipped next week!

    In the meantime my carrying case arrived at customs and my Macross set has been sitting there since the 11th... I think I will give them a call tomorrow.

    Edit: 550 posts!
