all about chemistry
Oh thy 20six, I have a perplexing dilemma: As a result of all the activities relating to my Russian Flatmate, I will finally be moving out on the 6th January. Though because of a dire misunderstanding on my part, I took my notice period to be of 2 weeks and dutifully informed my screaming/shouting/*secretly heartbroken* landlady three weeks in advance about my move, only to be corrected that it was the usual four weeks. So as the norm goes, she has agreed to me finding another flatmate by that date and leave with money in my pocket. Now here enters my Bosnian flatmate's friend from Serbia, who came to live us at the beginning of November, with the plea of being homeless and a promise of finding elsewhere to live. Though, I was never told of this arrangement, on bumping into the Serbian friend one fine morning when I was leaving for work, I had told my other flatmate by the means of a not so pleasing text that since my bike had been stolen a while ago it was only polite of her to inform me that there was someone else sharing her room. And now the drama: well, it's been a month since the Serbian flatmate's been living with us for a MONTH! Day in/Day out. In fact, I am enroaching on "her" space in the fridge! Now, to be honest, this had begun to bother me recently and I had contemplated telling the landlady about this. But I persevered since I was going to leave the place anyway until yesterday when my landlady screamed down the phone reminding me of the four week notice. So I decided to find a rentee before I left and texted the Bosnian flatmate to see if her friend wanted the room. But partly innocently and partly because it was on my mind, on speaking to my landlady today who was asking for references, I asked her if it was OK if one of Bosnian flatmate's friend who has been here on a holiday takes the room. To which she resorted: Oh I have no idea this was happening. I clarified saying that she had just been on a holiday and if anything, I am only asking you it was OK since we know her and not complaining! And that I won't want to leave on a bad note with my Bosnian flatmate. To which she agreed but I am now worried that my Bosnian flatmate will have troubles and she will think I am a horrible person. More importantly, I am worried that I am horrible person. Shall I text my Bosnian flatmate about this conversation with the landlady just so she can cover her back or what else I could do to undo this harm?

(21.12.06 14:50) You're too nice. Now will you please get back to the point about the bike: how does your bike getting knicked relate to being told that someone's staying in the house? |

Oink (21.12.06 14:51) That was me, Oink, btw. It keeps chopping my name off. |

Olivia Joules / Website (21.12.06 15:00) Oink, because the bike was parked in the back garden of my basement flat, I am surrounded by houses all around and there's thick vegetation on the fence so I can't imagine anyone doing that - it has to be someone in the house (i think!) |

Olivia Joules / Website (21.12.06 15:00) But may be I am wrong since I am generally of quite a suspicious nature anyway! |
