I then spend the next 10 minutes walking down the street looking like a crazy lady, flailing my arms around, feeling through my hair, brushing myself off and franticly rubbing my face!!

Rachel has just spoke to the estate agents, they say they're going to tell the lasndlord to sort it out.
If they don't get back to me ASAP, I'll be paying someone myself and deducting it out of the rent.
