What i'm doing is taking bets as to how much deposit from my previous house i'll get back from the landlady. Since we had personal issues with one another and my landlady is quite fond of the dinero i'm not expecting back more than £20.

So what i'm asking you to do (upto a maximum of 10 bets) is guess how much i'll get back in pennies, from 1p to 2000p. Currently taken are 55p, 650p, 750p and 1000p.

I'll do a list/grid of some description to show who's got what and if the return is under £20 the person who gets closest wins the remainder of my deposit. If it's over then all bets are off cause I ain't that generous and it ends when I get the letter. If you're overseas i'll pay by paypal and if you're in the UK i'll post a cheque.

Sound ok to you?

GO.

Edit: For those who can't be bothered to do the conversion, entering this costs nothing and could land you upto $39. Or $45 if you're Canadian. Or 29 Euros.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I know here state side(or atleast here in NJ) we have some very strict laws for lanlords and deposits. Or was this one of those kinda off the book deals?

It's such a long story and she's spouted so much bullshit over it. She's also been so childish and i've kept all the emails in case I need them later, but the sad thing is it might cost me more money than i've given her to recover it.

Having said that, here's the list so far. If the number's not on it, it's still free and like I said, you can have upto ten guesses.

Really?

We always get our entire deposit back, or damned near. Even with the monster dog from Hell. What a joy cleaning dog drool off the ceilings.

Perhaps you stay in a better standard of locale than most people, but we had to argue over getting our deposit back in the last apartment I lived in, and that seems to be the general gist of how it goes with most folks I know.
