Grr Letting Agents.

The letting agents for the house that we have just moved out of said to me when I handed in the keys that all we needed to hand in were the bills for the services, the guys words were “gas, electricity and water”. We needed to take these in to get our deposit back.
So the electricity and statement came yesterday saying that everything had been paid, and the water statement was a couple of weeks ago. So I decided to take them into the letting agents today, the guy (different guy to the one last time) said: “ok, so you are going to have to bring the council tax certifacate in before we can process this” - the guy had a bit of an attitude. So I thought ok, I can still have time to go back home and bring it back before the 1pm closing time (which Maria had found out)… except he said to me just before I left: “we close at 12:30″, that extra half an hour would have allowed me to get home find the certificate and then go back again and we would have got the deposit back earlier. The new home is about 10 to 15 minutes by bus from the letting agents, or about half an hour walking. Damnit!

I was feeling really happy before I went there too, feeling quite confident.. after annoyed, irratated and a bit sad. Maria had asked me to do one thing, and I mess it up again as usual :-( (Maria is working today, which is why she couldn’t come with me)
Another thing happened on my way home (probably due to my naïveness), I went to go to barclays bank to put a cheque into my account… but it was shut. Banks are closed on Saturdays??? Grrr!
