The Compers Inn - Part 24

Mamzie

a lady I know from school had a small fire, last night... set by her own teen

Which was then restarted this morning, and wrecked her house downstairs with smoke damage upstairs.

I ended up getting involved, as I saw her teen trying to run off up our mountain to top herself!!! And just couldn't stand back. So managed to talk her down, and get her in my car, safe until I could hand her over to police.

then went to tell the mother.. but she as you can imagine, was very upset, and totally confused by everything that needed sorting, so I offered to help... she had 6 children due to return home from 3pm!!

I am quite proud of myself as I pulled every string I could and we are rehousing her tomorrow, plus help salvaging sfuff and in a part furnished house. Had police, council, housing, social, childrens, all in and out of here for hours...

I actually feel at last that being a community councillor and compulsive volunteer/do gooder had a really good result

Mamzie

whew, your right it is, I better get some tabs open.... just needed to actually tell someone, as I think I am still coming down from today, iyswim...

Mamzie

I'll most likely delete it in a few hours as its kinda of private for her, just really needed to share it first, iyswim.

It was terrible, at first they were intending to send them, a mother and 6 kids to a B&B for the weekend. No cooking facilites, washer, or private bathroom, plus they have very little clothes, etc left and very little money...

Well done Mamzie - you did great :T

I'd better log off now, as the site's down any minute, isn't it?

Catch up tomorrow. Good Luck everyone.

Have a great time with your boyfriend Katie

Looks like you were in the right place at the right time Mamzie. Who knows what might have happened if you weren't there for the troubled teen & her mum. Well done to you for helping out, i'm sure they really appreciate it. xx

Did the forums go down then? I had a long soak in the bath! (Actually...I fell asleep in the bath again!)
