oh god that is awful!

Miss_BaLu

Yep!

No water in again from yesterday and no flickering lights after the electrician replaced both hallway light fittings and checked the wiring.

We shall hope that is it resolved.

Miss_BaLu

Had a terrible flood on Sunday night. Waterfall for over an hour out of light fittings in the room and hallway - the pipe that has been leaking upstairs burst. Me and the guy directly above me completely flooded.

My bed is in the back garden, completely ruined.

Council had guys in who said that the bathroom and bedroom ceiling will probably have to come down, the lights have all bee removed and disconnected in those rooms. Need to let the place dry out and they'll be back to sort them out.

Such a faff honestly.

No! That sounds awful. I hope you’re managing and the repairs are done swiftly, without charge to you.

Miss_BaLu

Just waiting on the place drying out to see what needs to be done.

I miss my bed, sleeping on the couch in your 40's is not ideal.

how are the dogs coping?

Miss_BaLu

They're doing okay.

L loves to sleep in my room so after every walk she heads in there realises there isn't a bed then comes back to the living room to find somewhere to sleep.

B is wandering the place through the night because we're all in the living room sleeping, he settles eventually.

Miss_BaLu

So had the guy out from the housing yesterday, they sent in a massive industrial dehumidifier and had someone come in and check out the ceilings - they're fine - yay!

They'll be sending the electrician back out to fix the lights and they'll bulk uplift the old bed.

Need to order a bed now, won't be worth claiming my insurance for that so I'll shop around over the next few days and might take this opportunity to move the furniture around in the bedroom again.

Miss_BaLu

So I've decided I'm sick of living in an untidy and cluttered house.

Today I'm tackling the kitchen in between work and meetings. Before I go to bed tonight that place will be sparkling clean with a nice candle burning in there.

I shall try and post a picture of the results.

Miss_BaLu

Been AWOL for a bit, sadly my cousin passed away quite unexpectedly.

She is or was should I say 48 with 5 kids so we've had a lot to be dealing with.

Funeral is Monday 12th October so I've taken some time off work, not sure how the family are going to be so need to be more available than I could be if I was working.
