Disaster Strikes!

[badly_knitted]

Just to let everyone know, I might not be around for a while. We're in chaos here, a pipe burst in the loft and water came pouring through my ceiling. My bed, clothes and floor are soaked, I'll be sleeping on the downstairs floor for a while, everything is wet and now the loft isn't insulated because that's all sodden and we can barely stay warm

NO! That really sucks. I hope that you all get dried out really soon. Take care of you and your family, don't worry about us.Let us know how you are getting on too, and if you need anything. (have no idea how i would do that - but you know... virtual stuff maybe.)

Thankyou.
We're cold, wet and miserable, and there's a lot to be done. Never been so wet indoors. Not looking forward to tomorrow.

Take care of yourself

Thanks! Everything seems pretty bleak right now, We've cancelled Christmas, just hoping to get through the cold weather that's coming next week. It's going to be pretty miserable.

It's a mess, so much wet. Don't know how we can get things dry when the heating was barely keeping us warm while we HAD loft insulation. It's got to be removed. The drips have finally stopped (touch wood) but I'll be sleeping on a blow-up bed on the lounge floor (there's precious little room with all the junk, but maybe I can squeeze in). We don't even have a couch suitable for sleeping on - it's a two-seater and it's piled high with God knows what. I just feel gutted. I haven't been feeling well for the last couple of weeks, and this feels like the last straw coming on top of a huge bill for my car's MOT. I'm tired, my head aches, there's so much to do... I just want to crawl in a hole and stay there.

hug you, won't take you warm at this distance but I'm afraid that the only thing I can do. I wish you to get your self dry soon and find a little place to have a decent Christmas.

Thankyou. We're stuck here though, as we can't afford to go anywhere else and there's no one we can stay with. Besides, we have to get everything dry again. It's a mess, so we're forgetting about Christmas.

Thankyou! This couldn't have happened at a worse time, but then again, it wouldn't have happened if the weather hadn't been so cold lately!
