Evicted!!!



"What a crazy turn of events that was!"

It all happened because my bike was in the coservatory last night

The landlords came in the back door at 9.00pm and saw it

The only reason it was there was because it was forecast to rain and I was leaving at 4.00am for the ANZAC Day Dawn Service so I thought if it was in the house I could turn the light on and I wouldn't be rooting around in the dark, rain and cold to get my self organised

They came in and said that I had to put it outside because if they let me have it inside everyone will want their bikes inside

They were drunk!!

Joe then proceeded to tell me about all the grief that he got because of Brett staying (during September 2004) and that he lost two girls because of him
I don't know how that works because the six of us that were in the house when he stayed are still there - ???

Mary started going on about how we had people staying over every night when they were away and that people have been telling her that
Tamara said that was not the case and that no-one had people stay
That's not entirely true
But really, Tammy for three/four nights, and Michelle had her boyfriend over once or twice - ???

Anyway...Mary then proceeded to scream about how Michelle had been kicked out for doing something unforgiveable - she was going skiing in France and leaving at 4.00am so Charlie came over to go with her the station at 2.30am which is after curfew
Apparently that is unforgiveable!

---Anyway, then she just cracked it!!
Started going on about us winding her up - we couldn't actually get a word in to speak to her to wind her up!!
And that the is house falling apart - which Tamara said isn't our fault which it isn't because they have twelve girls in the house and the furniture is pretty cheap and they have to expect wear and tear

---She said that they like us and don't want us to go and then started saying that they have plans for this house
----------"This is my house, my house blah, blah, blah"

It was quite scary and she was right up in my face pointing

I was shaking and all hot too!!

After saying - while pointing in my face!!
----------"we thought you were one of the good ones"
and then screaming at me and Tamara
----------"this is our house, and we have a list of girls waiting to stay here so you can all just fuck off"
- we are now going to!!

She then said that we got keys cut to her back door without asking permission
We admit to that
But the reason we did it was because the front door lock broke, they were away and didn't answer their mobiles, so it was the only way that we could get in and out of the house!
When we pointed this out she said not to try and bring up something that happened over a year ago!
Crazy I tell you!

I panicked a bit at first having only ten weeks until I go away and thought maybe I can just stay - but really after she screamed and spoke to us like that why should they get any more of our money?

Michelle came out in the middle of it just to make sure that they didn't get violent and then afterwards we all had a bit of a run through about it

The adrenalin started pumping!!

Tamara said she wants to get them to go off again before we leave cause it was quite fun and we are going to poison their potplants!

I still can't believe it happened

So after all of that I tried to go to sleep so I could get up early for the Dawn Service
Lying there thinking I have to go to sleep I will be shattered tomorrow and then trying to work out if I will have to go back to the hostel for the time before I go or not
I don't think I got to sleep until 1.00am!!

I got up at 4.15am and got dressed and rooted around in the cold and dark - not rain thankfully - and headed off

It was nice and quiet on the roads and my newly serviced bike ran like a dream

As I got closer to Hyde Park I could see people walking up the street
I don't know how many people I expected to be there but there was a lot
The service was really nice and as usual I cried - during the Ode and the Last Post

I came straight to work and have been here since about 6.40am!
I have been told I can go home if I want at about lunch because I only get paid for what I work so I might just do that...home for a quick nap then back in for dinner at The Grand Bazaar

Plus I want to see if there is an eviction notice under my door!!

Tamara said that she was going to leave the telly on today when she went to work so they think someone is in the room and don't go in while we are away
They aren't supposed to but I wouldn't put it past them!

Like I said to Mum I hid the bracelet so they can't have back!

They have a weeks rent paid out of our bank account today and then two weeks deposit held which is three weeks in total so me and Tamara are going to stay for three weeks

We both cancelled our direct debits today

I sent a few texts out last night night and my friend Ella goes to Oz in three weeks for a month so I can have her bed sharing with my friend Lesley and that means there will only be three weeks until I leave after that

Another friend Ellouise is in Turkey at the mo but she is going on Busabout during May and June so I might be able to go to her house for the last three weeks
She said that it shouldn't be a problem (when I text her last night she was on the beach at Gallipoli)

Tamara is going to move in with her boyfriend
They have been together for a year and met in Turkey for Anzac Day last year

The good thing is that I was going to stay with Ella and Lesley when I got back from my trip because Lesley is away (until I go to Ireland) so I can redirect all my mail and my suitcases can stay there anyway but it really is a hassle for just ten weeks

So there you go
What a story that one is!!

And all of that came after me, Cassie, Renea, Michelle and Claudia had sat down to a nice Sunday roast and wine and had enjoyed a really nice afternoon

It is 8.30am, at work, and I am just about to have my third coffee - plus they were giving out Anzac biscuits at the service this morning and I have had seven!
Nice breakfast!!

And I am very sleepy!!
Tanya

PS
Tamara just called me and said that her bank will reverse the payment to be made today so I rang Natwest, my bank, and they said that they can too

So I am going in two weeks and not three!!
I will be moving stuff over this weekend but won't actually be leaving until next weekend

And then for the first two weeks after I leave Castlenau I will be at Karen's while she is away in Eastern Europe with Damo

Confused? - I am a bit too!!

There was no eviction notice under the door when I got home last night but Tamara was already packing!

Michelle said she saw them on the stairs and they both smiled and said hello like nothing happened - psycho!!

I have a feeling that they actually check the rent once a month so they will certainly be shocked when they are short this weekend after me and Tamara stopped our payments
And that is why I want to get things moved asap
I wouldn't put it past them to put our stuff in the yard!!

We are supposed to pay the rent up and then they decide whether we get our bond back or not but after putting up with no heating and hot water and getting yelled at like that I am not going to wait for them to decide whether or not I can have my cash back

They are likely to be vindictive about it (just like I am being a bit I guess)

If they have anything to say I will just reply with "I was frightened during your outburst and thought I was going to be physically assaulted"

And by telling us to "fuck off" they gave us notice - and if they ask I will tell them!!

Anyway, I am looking forward to a change actually
It is a shorter ride to work from Battersea and I will be going past Buckingham Palace and near Big Ben every day while I am living there
It will be a bit longer from Karen and Damos but only about fifteen minutes so that will be fine and I will see some different scenery then too

More dramas!!

So I left work at 4.20pm yesterday
Was tired and there wasn't much to do - plus the boss doesn't care cause they don't have to pay me!

I stopped by a shop and got some storage bags and was in my room packing
I wanted to get a cup of tea so was in the kitchen talking to Michelle V about Sunday night she said that she had already heard about it and had spoken to her boyfriend and wanted to get out asap
(Michelle B is the one who was kicked out already)

I then saw Joe and Mary coming in the back gate

I nicked off into my room and turned the music up really loud
They knocked and I ignored it and then they knocked really hard so I had to answer it

Mary and Joe were standing there

She said - "I heard you're leaving in ten weeks, is that right?"
It is, but it also meant that one of the girls had opened their mouth about my business to them
I said - "Yes, why?"
"We'll we need to know your plans, that's all"

She then went on to say not to worry about Sunday night and that they weren't kicking me out

She then started on about Tamara and how she had butted in where it wasn't her place
I said to her that I don't want to discuss her beef with Tamara and she can talk to Tamara about it if she wants
She said that she does want to have a big talk with her and then started on again
Again I said - "Mary, I don't want to talk about Tamara"

She said that they don't have any problem with me and that me, her and Joe were still fine and that I have done a lot for them
I said to her that I was afraid for my safety on Sunday night and thought that I was going to be assuaulted

She then started yelling about how we all ganged up on her and Joe said he had to come down and get her away from you all
I said that is incorrect and no excuse for the way that we were spoken to

Joe then said to me - "Well, how about two weeks notice then"
I said - "That suits both of us fine" - and shut the door - HARD!

Oops - sorry Tamara, I just got us both kicked out - officially!

Anyway, there was a little knock on my door and it was Michelle V
She wanted to make sure that I was okay
I was shaking like a leaf but I was okay
She said that I was very brave and handled the whole thing very well - and she said that she was going to go asap
We had told her what they were like but it was the first time that she had seen it
If they can be like that towards me, their "golden girl", imagine how they will be with the others

Am so glad to be getting out of there now

Tamara came home and I told her
She sent 'J & M' a text asking for her notice in writing because she wasn't home to hear it

I said to her that someone had spilled about me leaving
We knew who it was, Cassie, and I went and had a go at her about it
Tamara told her that she wants nothing more to do with her and that in being so horrible to Michelle B (who she came over with) she has lost a good friend and will regret it
She was Michelle B's roommate and was awful to her when she got kicked out

Might be an interesting week until I go because Claudia then came in to the room and tried to go off at Tamara about who does she think she is talking to Cassie like that
Tamara tried to close the door and Claudia was trying to push it open

Fun and games!!

Mary came down later with our eviction letters
She tried to look all sad and said that she didn't want to do this and she is sorry
I think she actually might be but honestly how can I stay after all of this?

I have decided that my last night in the house will be next Thursday

I have stopped my bank payments and they are not getting any more out of me
That might cause a fight considering they are going to "inspect" the place on Wednesday morning

I am going to take most of my stuff to Ella and Lesley's this weekend and a few bags to Karen and Damos
On Thursday night I will take the rest of my stuff over and then on Friday will just get dressed and go to work and not come back

FYI - they have your PO Box address so there is a chance you might get mail from them.
Just scan it and send it to me and then throw it in the bin - they are psychos!!!

Tanya

Over the weekend I am just going to try and stay away from the house as much as possible
The landlords are wankers!!

The good thing about working for lawyers tho is that I found out that they can't take any legal action against us until we are eight weeks in arrears with the rent

And if they throw all our stuff out on the street we can call the police and they will be arrested!!

I bought a "going away" present for Tamara last night
There is a photographic gallery near the bridge and he takes lovely photos of the area
I bought her a nice black and white one of the Bridge - and I got myself one too!!
I had hers framed and it looks quite nice

I had a pretty good run with her - we lived together for over a year and never had one fight or even a slight disagreement!!
I will definately miss her

Final packing tonight then taking the last of my stuff to Kaz's tomorrow night then Friday its all over

Free at last!
So I'm out of the house completely

Am a little bit sad I guess but not much can be done about it

Tamara really liked her present which I am glad about

I went out for dessert with Tamara and Michelle V from the house
Michelle V has given her notice too and will be gone in three weeks

After I left home this morning I got a call from Tamara who said that Mary had just been down to have a go at her
She said that there was a big pile of rubbish by the bin and wanted to know why we hadn't put it outside
Well, for starters it wasn't ours!! - and the back door key was missing so we couldn't go out anyway
Cassie and Claudia had it in their room earlier last night because I had to get it off them
Later last night Tamara wanted to go outside and Cassie and Claudia had said that Mary had it but Mary said that she didn't
They are just 'fucked up' and I reckon they are trying to set us up to get us out earlier

She also said that Cassie and Claudia have complained about things going missing from their room and accused us of it!
All doors have locks so I don't know how we are supposed to get into their room!
I really think they are trying to set us up

Apparently their friends are moving into our room

She also said that she wanted us out by the weekend
Tamara said - "We are not going until our two weeks notice was up and we had taken legal advice on the point"
Mary said - "No, by the weekend I want you out"
Tamara said - "You gave us until Wednesday that's when we are going" and slammed the door in her face
Mary then started screaming about not shutting the door in her face
She is just a psycho!

Get over it - just stay out of our way until Wednesday and avoid all the grief and get some new girls in who don't know any better

Poor Tamara copped it on her own - and she still has another night there!!

I have a whole lot of stuff under my desk at work
Like my lasagne dish, vege strainer, cheese grater, potato masher that I wasn't leaving in the house for those 'bitches' to use!

I still have my bracelet - it moved out last weekend!
They don't have my deposit and I got the bracelet - so they loose out a bit actually!!

First night at Kaz and Damo's tonight - my own room - how exciting!

Tanya

......and click here to read a note from Tamara -

One of the girls who I am still friends with in my old house just sent me a text saying the locks have been changed!
How funny!

Today was eviction day at Castelnau Road and we were meant to be at the house for an 8.00am inspection - but were weren't!!

Haven't heard from them either - and I don't think we will - that saga is over!!
