8th August 2002

My dream starts as I arrive 'home' one evening. I'm still at university in Colchester and I am house sharing with Del, Jo and two others. Whilst I had been out, the two others had been into my room and broken my bed again, this being the third time they had done this.

I was initially concerned about the stuff that was under my bed. When I entered my room I noticed that this had all been piled neatly against the far wall. I then started to wonder where I was going to sleep and who or what had broken my bed for a third time. The two others who liuved in the house were looking rather guilty.

Then the landlord turned up and ripped into me about this was the third time that the bed had broken since I had been there. I tried to reason with him that each time that the bed had been broken I hadn't been in the house, so I hadn't actually broken it. He said that he was fed up of having to fix it and was evicting me and putting me on the blacklist so I couldn't find anywhere else to stay either.

It was this point I realised the landlord was someone I knew quite well from school, Andy Lucas.

I went in to Del and Jo's room to talk about the problem. The landlord hadn't given me a deadline to leave. Del and Jo seemed more interested in each other and fumbling around their double bed than my problem.

Wondering what to do I thought I'd go and see Paul who was living on university owned property.
