#1. i try to register for council tax and have to give any previous edi addresses. i enter old postcode. the flat number isn't listed :)#2. i register for broadband & give my new address over the phone. somehow the order defaults to a previous address anyway#luckily i notice and call up to stop the engineer being sent out to a random house at the other end of the country#plusnet take my new details again but say they can't send a guy out for 3 weeks :)#don't have 4G in my new flat and work from home. i ask for a discount for my troubles since it wasn't my fault. they say no :)#3. i try to take my meter readings the day i move in to avoid paying too much energy bill. both meters are so old they've expired :)#i text the previous tenant she says it's an ongoing issue. she pestered the energy company about it for a year. they didn't do anything :)#4. the previous tenant was a filthy human being who has never picked up a duster or hoover in her life#i spend the first 48 hours in the new home cleaning up mouse droppings cobwebs and thick dust from every single surface :)#the landlord apologises and says he will send a cleaner next week. i have already cleaned everything but i accept anyway#5. i pass on my p45 to my new job as soon as possible to make sure i don't get put on the emergency tax rate#HR says this doesn't look right it's dated from six months ago. i say i haven't been working in that time they say ok leave it with us#one month later they contact me again to say hey your p45 is dated from six months ago :))) i say yes i know. i haven't been working#they say oh yes that's right. leave it with us :))))#i'm one minor inconvenience away from ending it all#dear diary
