charging a flat mate for damage done

[ooh-la-la]

My current flat mate is moving out at the end of this month, and i've noticed over the months that she's lived here she's put a few scratches on my wooden floor, i'm not sure how the majority got there but i know that she dented my living room floor by throwing a playstation handset down in anger. Last week i told her could she be careful when she starts to move her stuff out as i don't want anymore marks on my floor. She did say sorry but i got the feeling she was pissed with me for telling her off. now just a few days later there's a big line going down her bedroom floor, which she hasn't said anything about. I get the feeling she's done it on purpose out of jealousy and because i told her off. I think i should charge her for the damage, but haven't any idea how much. any suggestions would be appreciated xx

[ooh-la-la]

yes i know, my driving instructor told me off about that too. I can fix it with filler? i how do i do that?

ok just didnt know why you even had to mention the hair removal and then a seperate post saying its flattering that she's jealous. Maybe read it all wrong. Oh well I guess from what people have said really not anything you can do about any payment x

Is it a laminate floor .. or solid planed timber floorboards?

[4getmenot]

why has your pic suddenly gone?

poundland/DIY section tub of filler. Plastic carrier bag (free in poundland) on hand, dip finger into filler and spread over scratch; smooth over & wait till dry. Sandpaper excess - eezzzzy peeeezy.

Tambo ..
Any old colour filler will leave a coloured filler line across the floor.
She could do better by selecting a coloured filler or dying some to match.
If laminated, there is not much hope of hiding. Just an approximation of colour with filler. If you sand a laminated pre-finished floor, what do you think happens?

[ooh-la-la]

yes, maybe i shouldn't have posted them both together. I was just feeling really upset about her, i think i was trying to make myself feel better.
I said about hair removal as i wanted to give you an example about how she reacts to something that goes well for me, in this case not looking like a man. pmsl!
It's solid wood. It can be sanded down but only a few times, as i've only been living here for a 1 year i don't really want to do it yet.

[ooh-la-la]

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 i didn't realize i could do that!!!! the site manager told me about this thing called ozzy which is like a dye that you can put over a mark on a wood floor and it will help hide it up, but you cant do it if it is a deep scratch. Do you think that if i use filler, sand it down then put the ozzy stuf over the top it will work?

[ooh-la-la]

two of the scratches are long but only as wide as a pin though

Just don't say a bean , give her the passport back and say you have been a great flat mate, but before you give her the passport, put a dirty great scratch on the photo and lift the cover a little and they won't let her fly ok ,

[ooh-la-la]

your so naughty willy wonker

[WILLWONKER]

Or stick it in my potty and i'll crap all over it.

[ooh-la-la]

pmsl!!! maybe i can use her tooth brush to clean it up for her before i give it back to her

[WILLWONKER]

You see , now you are getting the right idea

[sandyRoe]

Can you and your flat-mate not afford clothes?

[tamborine]

albags - I aint doing the work !

Make her pay £500 (tools & labour for floor repairs) before you return passport.....book yourself a holiday to same place, same time as ex flat mate !

Better post this before I add more noughts ^^

LOL @ sandy :)

Though being serious I would not be surprised if your avatar gets banned if the ed sees it (I got mine banned previously and that was only a fat bloke with moobs)

[ooh-la-la]
