Aftermath chez Wol2 –moving forwards after the flood

Wol2

hi Both

Phew.....Stream has now gone down and no more heavy rain forecast so all can return to normal...(It's left a lttle pile of debris on my drive to show how close it came to the house...shame the flood doors never actually got a chance to show they work....but then again.....do I want to face that test and find they don't!! :eek: )

Anyhow off to tackle the nasty letter now.......and have busy busy day with work stuff.....I'll put the house stuff back in its proper places this evening..

Hey Wol2 - phew to none flood but it's pretty damn scary - especially at 3 in the morning :eek: .

I live on a small hill & the river( more like a stream actually) Bourne runs along the small valley. Although we're on the first floor the river cant be seen at all usually - this morning it's spread itself all over the place & is clearly visible spreading up the opposite hill. Havent actually seen that for about 10 years :eek: very scary.

Grrr to donkeyhole builders too :mad:

Glad you & piggies all safe & must reply to your pm sorry

Glad to hear you didn't flood, animals are very wise to weather changes I agree.

Bl00dy builders :mad: Shouldn't the insurers be arguing with them?!

How's things hun

Hi everyone

Thanks to everyone who has posted - it really does help me to get through the carp going on atm

Phew what a busy busy week and the weekend hasn't been much better.

First the good news........

• As you've already gathered - the house didn;t flood on monday :j
• Keane were brilliant on friday - only free time I've had for last 10 days
• I got a Valentines card on saturday
• My shopping bill this week was only £30 - and the chicken is cooking nicely as I type:cool:
• I have generated enough work to more than satsify my outgoings til end of April ....but I am going to have to work long hours each day including well into the evenings to fulfill all the contracts I have.:T :T
• I have just finished (10 hours work - started at 9.30 this morning...!) a first draft in response to the builders letter. :T :beer: :j . I need to seek clarification from my surveyor on a couple of items and then ask him to issue it (however he has conveniently bogged off on holiday for a week so if I want him to check the letter and then issue it - which of course I do - I won;t be able to reply by the date specified in the builders letter - but in any case surevyor says that date was unreasonable as you're meant to get 21 days to respond apparently.:cool:
• I'm coming to Manchester for the DFW meet:j

The bad news...

• I havent' cleaned out the piggies this weekend :eek:
• I haven't finished cleaning the house :shhh: :cool:
• I haven;t done the ironing (again) -it's now three baskets....:eek: :eek:
• I havent; done the work I needed to do ready for next week and I'm out for 4 days seeing clients....:mad:
• I'm knackered and think I'm finally going down with one of them bugs (so far managed to avoid the lurgies since I moved back into the house last August) - if I'm ill, no pay...._pale_
• I need to get the car in for problem with brakes (hopefully covered by warranty) :eek: _pale_
• England won;t win the grand slam :rotfl:
• I got a stupid passthebuck letter from the county council about the trees adjoining my house :mad: (only wrote to them at beginning of October...)

However on the whole, things do seem to be picking up. I still get the odd bad day (like yesterday) but nowhere near as many each week - and that's mainly down to concentrating on the work and also declining the vino in the evenings.

I'm lurking a bit - mainly in the early morning...and a quick look-see most evenings - but most of the time I have too much work to do atm...and I really DO need that money! Still, will keep posting updates on here as and when....and see you all in Manchester......

Hi hun

Sod the housework - life being too short and all that :rotfl:

Am much relieved about the flooding, as I was flying out it I saw that the forecast was that it was gearing up to rain quite a bit and I was wondering how you were getting on.

It is also good news that you have managed to get plenty of work in (although don't go burning yourself out now )

And as for the Val Day card :T :smileyhea :happyhear

Numpty, just saw your response about the F&F - :T :T :T
