Are You an April Fool?
Its April foo’ls day today and I’d love to know if any of you played any tricks or if someone got you really good. I am ashamed to say that I am a complete April fool and it was my Mum that got me this year. She’s a bit of a professional so I really should have seen it coming but she had planned it so well that I didn’t tweak. My Mum is friends with the owner of the letting agent that I rent my flat through and they teamed up to wickedly plot against me and my boyfriend.
We saw a letter popped under the front door at about 11am so my boyfriend Paul picked it up and started reading, his face dropped and he started to get a bit angry. He handed me the letter and I read it. Something inside me knew there must have been a mistake because we have been perfect tenants and the letter said we were going to be evicted. Apparently someone had complained that we had been parking in their allocated spaces, playing loud music at unreasonable hours and that we hadn’t paid our rent for the last two months.
We may have parked in someone else’s space once and did occasionally play guitars but not at night and we knew we had definitely paid our rent. In a bit of a daze and a little upset I phoned my Mum to get her friends number from the letting agent. All she said was ‘Aimi, What day is it today?’ I couldn’t believe she had got me but she was in stitches!
The letter was written on our letting agent’s headed paper, signed by the owner and hand posted through the door, the letting agent had even lent my Mum the key to get in the downstairs door! very well thought out but I’ll get her next year.
