I am so happy today! I have got some BIG NEWS! →[More:]

THE NEIGHBOUR FROM HELL HAS BEEN EVICTED!!!

I came home from work to find a notice on his door saying that the property had been taken into possession and that anyone wanting to remove belongings must contact [name of estate agents] within seven days or the contents would be disposed of. A few minutes after I got home, he arrived with the guy from the estate agents and left a short while later, with several bin bags full of clothes and stuff. I expect he'll arrange to clear out the flat in the next few days.

It was the mortgage company who repossessed it. And it looks as if there might be someone interested in buying it. A woman who lived down the street moved a couple of years ago, she went to Spain, but is now back in the UK. She really regretted selling her flat, and was waiting for one to come on the market so she can move back here.

Yaaay! I am overjoyed. I only hope he doesn't manage to pay off the mortgage arrears so he can get back in again. That'd be the worst case scenario. Even though in recent months he's been quiet, I know that there'd be more trouble in the future, he was on a downward spiral.

Wow! That's awesome! Congrats, Jan. Hopefully this is karma at work, and he won't be back.

OMG that's SO COOL!

I hope some eviction juju comes around for the asshole who lives in the flat under ours. That guy is creepy and noisy and I don't like him one bit.

AWESOME!!

The timing couldn't be better. Improving the neighborhood along with the flat.

I don't know about you but I think a little music is in order:

na na na hey hey hey good-bye

I wish there were a song with the chorus

"Let the doorknob hit you where the Good Lord split you."

And with that, you're suddenly a far less entertaining poster.

posted by dhartung 13 July | 13:57

No, I imagine ej will simply find us entertainment elsewhere without having to suffer for it. ;-)
