This will be my last post before I go to bed, and thankyou all for your thoughts and helpful suggestions.

I wish I could do it all on one day, but the amount of little fiddly stuff that has to be packed makes it physically impossible, even for an army of people. I am not giving them 2 weeks notice out of consideration for them, but because I have to start making stuff disappear some time, and I need the 2 weeks to do it in. They certainly are not very bright, but when all the books disappear off the bookshelves and most of the crockery and cookware disappears out of the kitchen, even they will realize something is up, and if I am obviously packing up and haven't told them, it might make them angrier. These are my thoughts, anyway.

I will have somebody there when I tell them, and when I see how they react, it will give me a better idea of how much I need to worry. As for the police, I could make a lot of trouble for these guys if I wanted to, but I don't see any need to resort to that at this point. If I did it now, I would really have more to worry about, and if I waited till after I was gone, it wouldn't really be necessary - it would just be revenge, and I'm not into that sort of thing. I believe people have their own karma, and they will get what they deserve, without any help from me.

Off to bed now to sleep, perchance to dream.........
