From Freddie to FranLab on a Friday

Surely your old landlord can't act in a way that could damage your health? Surely, that's unlawful. If they want you out so they can start work that presents a threat to your wellbeing, it's their responsibility to buy the remainder of your lease or wait until your lease expires. You should look into this..

Half price candy tastes twice as good.. What about free candy?

F*ck 'em, indeed.

As others have advised, please seek legal advice ! A lawyer might be able to delay the demolition if it is impacting your health or business. A consultation won’t cost much and it will at least provide you with knowledge and hopefully options.

Hi Fran. Great decision on standing your digs and giving the single finger salute to the oppressors. After watching your review I saw the movie and binged watched lots of live aid stuff. It brought back that time and was amazing to relive. Thanks for that review. :)

Fran, this is your Apollo 13, and you have it under control. Keep your chin up. :-)

I seriously wonder if this is legal for them to do. Check your lease. Some apparently include a right to demolish and rebuild during a tenancy, but they would typically have to give six months notice. Demolishing a building with tenants LIVING in it sounds questionable though. That is a rather different matter from a pure commercial lease. Is there any Citizens' Advice place in your town? If so I'd definitely ask if they have a lawyer who can clarify your rights on this.

So was I seeing things? You had posted (maybe it was old) a set of new rules for mail - did you change your mind? subject to revision? inquiring minds want to know ...

Fran, this sounds like a good decision. I agree wholeheartedly that you should not throw money at these scummy people.

Ya know what Fran ? I know the feeling that your feeling all too well. In fact there are bastards in my world making a the same kind of crunch on my life right now too! Sometimes I think they are the same breed of bastards that plauge people like us! All I can say is I'm in the trenches with you by your side all the the way. I will never back down. Together we've got this!!

Life lessons from FranLab. Difficult decisions, then making peace with them. Priorities and necessities, making tough choices. Then having chocolate. All better now. Back to work!

Hope you can focus on your work. Stay strong!

I think staying until July or until you find a good fit for you is the best idea. I think about you and your situation often. I think you are a really terrific and remarkable person.

Golly... you're HUMAN! ROFL Eat your bargain candy, watch the same movies we watch, enjoy life... relax. Again, you're just being human.

Bruce Havourd

Agreed. Don't rush into anything.

This is the right decision. Don't rush it more than necessary. Something better may pop up out of nowhere.

Simon Mikkelsen

I think it is the right decision. Happy to see you with more self-confidence again.

Right on Fran! I support all your decisions.

I believe a psychologist would find this a very positive development... at least mine would ;)

Take care Fran! I'm glad your filter system is working for you. I agree if you can stick it out and move on your terms, things will probably work out better in the long term.
