If I may just borrow this space a minute

[Nightshade]

and have a little RANT!

Tonight there was a fire in my flat-- everyones fine ( and so my laptop so its not TOO major a dister from that point of view) but they did call out 2 fire brigades so Im guessing it was pretty spectacular- I was in someone elses flat at the time and missed the drama of it all. Anyway its all come about because my flat mates broke the rules and deep fat fried .
Now I might have to pay into the thousands for damages and my flat mates might be trying to pin it on me , my friendswhose flat I was in and my mum are all like confront them tell the girl you know it was her go report all the other things theyve done and how you didnt like the oil there in the first place etc etc but I cant deal with confrontations the very thought of it makes me sick to the stomach and is keeping me up at 2 am worrying....and worse I have no tea :mad: and wont get into the kitchen till the end of the week at least which pisses me of to say the least. I cant fast tommorow because I havent anything to eat now before I can fast. Luvkily my magic tea maker is in my room but no tea bags). But what if I go through with this and ship them? Its no garantee I wont be paying and I have to live with these girls for another 40 weeks yet.

I just need to let that off somwhere where people arent going to judge me and start trying to make my mind up for me about what Im foing to do about this and the rest of the things theyve been up to with this 'lets live on the edge' philosphy and my normal rant buddies are all in bed by now.

Thankyou :D

Goodness Night that sucks...your roomates are trying to pin this on you now? Well I hope that the people you were with do tell the proper authorities where you were and to tell you the truth, you probably shouldn't bunk with those people if you can try to prevent it.

I am so glad you weren't hurt. Sorry about all the tea and food and stuff....you have somewhere to stay temporarily right?

Don't get squeamish about the confrontation part of this...you will have to be strong especially if someone is trying to pin something on you that you are innocent of...be strong girl!

(What has been going on with everything lately!!! I can't believe all the disasters!)

[Nightshade]

Im still in the same flat... ah the miracles of fire doors!
The wierd thing is who was it who used to talk about psychics? ah well at that exact time I was discussing at these other peoples flats how Id just noticed that the fire extinguisher was at an angle that I couldnt reach becue it was too high and heavy for me to get off the wall.

the problem I have is everyone want sto'sort it out' for me one of these girls i was with well 2 of them actully with backing by the third are offering to come with me and help 'accuses/blackmail/bully the girl who did it into admitting the truth so that the rest of my room mates dont gang up on me.
Im not sure they are trying to pin it on me thing is they had time to get there stories straight and I went in and told the truth which now has me saying one thing and the other 3 and a boyfriend saying another and when I turned up and saw this sign on the kitchen door saying no further than this point by order of security and went down to ask what the heck had happened the security gaurd was mighty suspious of me which has me worried about what they have said, if this flat was an ingroup out group thing Im definatly out and on my own so I guess Im not too happy about that.

Hmmmm, sounds like you've been stuck with a right bunch of idiots/tosspots for roommates. My commiserations for that. I know you dont want advice; however I feel like sticking me oar in.

I am guessing this is a Uni Halls of Residence of something like that in which case there must be someone attached to the Uni you can discuss this with - being on the end of a claim for damages aint much fun.

If you haven already paid for the semester I would suggest moving out into accomodation elsewhere.

[Nightshade]

I paid for the year and as I understand it Im not allowed to move or I lose at least £1000 of the money Ive paid ( which I cant afford) But I am going to talk to the head warden and say look I want to move in with the post grads and mature students where people dont get high and drunk and wake you up at 3 in the morning where they dont brake the rules willy nilly because 'were students and were meant to live on the edge'.
The annoying thing is I really like this hall of residanceand they are most likly going to say sorry your only 19 and so get used to living with people your age and look you asked for an all girls flat and this is all we have take it or lump it.

I probably getting way too worked up about this though I mean arent I?

Good gawd Nightshade! No tea? My very deepest condolences to you and your flatmates (except, of course, to the moron who set it on fire and any rats who may be trying to blame you for it). What a time for it...

I hope everything works out for you, and my signature doubles as sage advice.

[Nightshade]

dont let the bastards grind you down?
Good advice:nod: (if you can stand up for yourself) I had that in my locker all through sixth form that and 'if the night draws long the dawn is soon coming' written in arabic and people were alwasy going what is that!

[Pensive]

Oh dear, that's a pity...be strong because you know that you are innocent!

[kathycf]

Wow, my sympathies. I hate to say it BUT...if you may be liable for damages then you must come forward and confront the issue. It will be painful to have to deal with recriminations from your other flatmates, but will it not be even more painful to pay through the nose for damages that you are not even responsible for? Sorry if all you needed was a sympathetic "ear" (I am sympathetic) but it is hard for me not to put forth an opinion.

Take care and for goodness sakes woman, get some teabags! :)

[Nightshade]

The security guy just bangend on the door and says we have to move out of the flat :eek2: well I guess the good thing is this means we get a kitchen....
bad thing is I have no bags or boxes.

[Koa]

Oh I came here just to look for the thread... how is it going? I didn't know about these details but I knew that you were in another flat the next day when you told me...so do you get to get back there or you stay in another flat?

It's so annoying about these halls of residence that you can't break the contract unless you find someone else willing to take your place...(at least mine is like that... but being a postgard gives you the privilege of postgrad halls where people have already had time to mature...)

[Nightshade]

havent I told you to stop rubbing it in?;)
Well Im staying here and I managed to salavage my pans and most of the 30 piece dinner set ( no cutlery though:( ) I havent got them clean yet becauseit turns out just standing them in the shwer and spraying them doesnt cut it as fire extinguisher powder doesnt appear to be water soluble .
Ive got enough to live with though....I need to go shopping to restock my food cupboard though which is a MAGOR (thats not spelt right) Massive pain as I lost all my expensive spices :(.

I like the new flat though they have a tv and best of all a tv licence!!
And the cook real food!! But they might havegot the wrong idea of me what with me being out all of last night and usually coming home at 11.
And my actual room.... well lets say I know why it was still empty I think either a boy or a girl who never cleaned properly had it last year theres pepsi or beer dried on the wall by the bed the shower is grimy and ahh welll nothing a little elbow grease wont cure.

I tell you what Ill pm you probably best....

[Koa]

Hmm for the kitchen stuff in R (I mean that area with many shops and restaurants ;) ooh I love to talk in code) there are nice cheap shops, I got all of mine there and when I go back home I'll take more good ones

So new flatmates? YAY! :D

[miss tenderness]

oh,sorry to hear these news,Night:(
