I need to stop stressing quite so much! I text my agent yesterday asking her which tenancy deposit scheme my deposit is being held. With there being a total lack of her and the ladnlord doing absolutely anything right (hence me moving) I was slightly worried, ok, a LOT worried that I'm not going to get my deposit back before christmas which means I'm going to be slightly strapped for cash over the festive period with having to pay a new deposit on the nes flat next month. Anyway, she never got back to me yesterday. I woke up this morning in a right mess. So many tears and stressing over such a little thing. I tried to ring her, no answer. I started writing an email but I was a bit abrupt so deleted it. Did even more research on the internet about my rights (it turns out you don't actually have that many and if the landlord chooses to take too long to do a repair you just have to put up with it!) and ended up texting the agent again. I had managed to calm myself down by this point and just said I would pay my rent as usual tomorrow but it would be my last payment. I would be leaving on the 3rd December. I also asked for an answer to my text from yesterday. I spent the next couple of hours wondering and worrying and she eventually replied. Apologised for the delay and said thanks for informing her of my moving date and she told me the landlord took care of the deposit and she told me which company she was lead to believe he uses.... I went onto this company's website and could find no reference of my money being held by them. I've text her back and asked for the code off the certificate he will have recieved upon placing my money with them. I've not bothered with the whole legal requirement thing as I'm trying to be nice about it. They'll have no reaosn to hold any of my deposit and it's actually me that is being inconvenienced by not being able to close one of my windows and being driven round the bend by the constant drip, drip, bloody drip!!!!

On a more cheerful note, I decided to treat myself for luch and took a walk to the local sandwich shop for one of their delicious ham salad sandwiches (and a sneaky piece of cake). My healthy eating has just gone out of the window at the moment. Well, on my return I decided to check the post box and there was a very large envelope there for me....... it's the details of my new flat, new tenancy agreement to sign and return and I got all excited agian, I really can't wait. I'm off to my mum's in a bit as she's looking after my baby nephew tonight and I'm going to bring home some boxes and start packing!
