Big family, is what it is! Very, very big and sprawling. And prolific.
In fairness to my landlord, I had only previously told him about two of the four maintenance issues in my letter, and those verbally. But he hasn't ever done anything about them, and he knows I was really freaked out by the prowler back in the spring. So I decided to put it all in writing this time, so there would be a record! Heh, I did actually threaten him with legal action once upon a time, many years ago, when the fire alarm was out of action for about six months. I wrote to complain and said that if the house burned down and I survived I would sue him for every penny he had for being in breach of health and safety regulations...he's been nice as pie to me ever since! But this past year since he's no longer been living locally, things have been slipping again.
Really, I need to move out. But that means finding a job, and although I've had loads and loads of interviews since the redundancy, and they all tell me how much they liked me and how appointable I am, no one has actually made me an offer yet. Gah. Someday, my luck will change...
