Really Not Impressed.

and the pet i am going to forget about until after we have moved in (she isn't a messy parrot, so whats the harm?!).

remember your landlord can also be your best friend too! You might need a reference from him if you move to another property.

hmmm i would use my mate...

As would i, i have never asked for a reference from a landlord/lady in the past, purely because you never know what they are going to say! If you use a mate, you can pretty much tell them what to say! :P

As for putting the parrot in the lex, some work colleagues live over the road from the house, and shell probably be going over there (she aint messy, but she destroys bits in her cage regularly, imagine the state of the car after an hour....... :o :o .......!)
