Oh dear, I hope you have managed to get some repairs organised. Thank goodness for insurance.

Oh no, that Storm Katie was really intense, been seeing on the news that a lot of people have had damage.

Hope you can get something sorted out soon. At least weather forecast is reasonable for the next few days, so it gives a breathing space.

Not suprised you are feeling stressed, I would be too.

Hope you are getting some good rest.

Thanks Goldie - I've been wondering if the damage is actually below the excess, as Admiral don't lodge claims automatically, and that would be a good thing for my insurance record. Roofer has been round, builder who did my repointing is coming round tomorrow - I'm very, very lucky with the forecast, you're dead right, hopefully it can get sorted before the next kerfuffle.

Absolutely - I'm quite impressed with them so far.

Had to be a bit focussed today - 2.5 hours work, and **loads** of cleaning, because I didn't clean at all while I was on "holiday"

Now I absolutely *have* to get a new Senior Railcard for my mum, it's free train travel round her way, but she takes a few long rail journeys every year, so its worth it - I love her optimism, she wants the 3 year one :j:j:j

Karmacat

Bleep. Mucho bleep. I'm a day late in buying the £20 off the 3 year deal Bother bother bother

I'll hang on for a bit and see if they do another offer before Whit, which is when she needs this latest ticket

Karmacat

Morning!

Railcard - good news! I'd started the purchasing process, so they let me finish, at the discounted price :j They even have a separate button to press if you're buying it for someone else - makes sense, as most people my mum's age don't have computers.

Roof - couple of hours of heavy rain here yesterday so I carried on with house tetris - sky is blue again now, that volatility is the forecast for the next few days. I might have to say "yes" to roofers even though I have clients in the house, its a bit of an emergency

Groceries - I was going to pop into town to buy some frozen veg, but I got a £1 fee delivery from Asda for tomorrow, so I did that instead :j

Work - 2.5 hours again today, none of it on the phone, boo. I never have workmen here if I have clients here, they always have to work around my clients, but this is an emergency, with the house not being watertight - if they can do it today, I'll have to have them here. Am expecting fireworks as a result

Was wondering about the roof yesterday! Visiting parental & I were on the train back from Brighton when the heavens opened.

Think it best that this time round the roof takes priority over the clients...Watertight is very necessary.

Yeah to railcard success!

Karmacat

Thanks RT

You have a visiting parental? Fantastic :j Hope you're having a lovely time - have they seen Brighton before?

Eek, good luck with getting the roof mended KC. Sounds like it's unavoidable but hope they can fit around your clients, and if not, that it doesn't cause too many problems.

Well done on the railcard! :j

Karmacat

Thanks Cheery - I was really pleased about the railcard. The roofers haven't even given their quote to the builder yet :eek: though of course they'll be rushed off their feet with all the damage. But the builder himself *has* been round, preparing quotes for the mending of a fence panel and the replacement of the side gate to the back garden. The gate literally fell off its hinges, flat onto the floor :rotfl: about a year ago, and is currently propped up by a slat from a double bed :rotfl: I know how to improvise, I do :rotfl:

Feel a bit better, but tired - got some OTC stuff to help me stay asleep once I *get* asleep.

Had a lovely indication of what life can be like after I retire - my sister rang me to discuss hair appointments on the day of the wedding its a straw in the wind, my friends, a straw in the wind :j

Goldiegirl

Yesterday we had one of those intense showers as well, hail, lightening and the kitchen sink! But then it brightens up again.

But not good for your roof, hope they can do the repairs soon.

Good result on the Railcard
