in her new abode on Saturday. What to say? ...despite the fab modern halls that you see on the Uni visits the typical student accommodation is alive (quite literally!) and well. Her new house is in a reasonable area, mix of residential housing and student flats. From the outside the place looks fine, but when she opened the door I was hit with an overwhelming smell of damp & the sight of a slug trail down the hall carpet !!!!! :o/ I'll spare you the details but basically there's a list of 29 things which need fixing - landlord had promised to sort them out over the summer after the previous residents moved out but nothing's happened. Fortunately Strident Student's room is in the loft and has only recently been converted so is not too bad. Spent the day with one of the other Mums doing a mega clean, unpacking and buying groceries and left thinking it was at least marginally more habitable. In her inimitable style she's already written a letter of complaint to the landlord on behalf of all the tenants and is meeting with the Uni accommodation officer so that'll keep her busy.
