Really, if they had just accepted your brilliance from the start, it would have saved so much mistrust on their part - all very tiring for them:D.

Spirit, have a fabulous time!

Enjoy spirit!

DS2 just back from holiday. I anxiously stood by the phone last night as I saw his first flight was late landing in Dubai and didn't now if he would make a 55 minute connection. He did, but his luggage didn't.

To be honest, until you responded to LIR's post, it's meaning had gone completely over my head ....

Today, at no specific time, I've got an inspection..... so I can't do anything. Dunno what they'd be inspecting if I were at work and said to let themselves in.... they're clearly inspecting "me/my lifestyle" to see if I've filled it with illegals, or knocked a wall down. It's so annoying.

Couldn't cook breakfast .... can't make lunch .... can't take a newspaper to the loo. Just waiting until they've been/gone.... which could be at any time.

I hate being a renter.

Surely just tell them they have to give you a specific time and they will not be able to come in unless they turn up at the pre appointed time. Quiet enjoyment and all that? Hardly unreasonable to specify a time for an inspection.

I agree. Landlords naturally want to inspect, but it should be done in a civilised, friendly manner.

I guess that goes down as "all part of the adventure" .... and being able to retell the story for years.

Have you started a COMPO THREAD on the board

Gives me a break from the laundry.

In theory it is winging its way to Heathrow and will then be delivered by the airline. Alternatively it could be sat on a carousel at Dubai airport circling aimlessly for days.

There are some tags you can fit these days for tracking luggage.... I guess they turn out to be a bit of a faff though.

Funily enough, although I used to have all mine inspected every six months, but decided (nearly ten years ago) that it was a complete waste of time and money, and stopped them. They rarely show up anything.
