When we got home after counselling earlier I suddenly noticed Roger standing in the kitchen doorway looking worried.
He had his usual “It’s not my fault” expression on his face and suddenly I heard the sound of dripping water.
The bathroom sink had overflowed and the water had leaked down into the kitchen to a depth of an inch.
The twins were sat on the kitchen table, marooned
Both yowled at me loudly
I swore like a docker.
Life is like this is it not?
Nice positives yesterday
Fuck off disasters today
Bollocks twat cunt !!!!
Bugger, damn, fuck as well. Just when things seem to be going right, life has a habit of sticking its bloody great size 9's in. I hope the damage isn't too great. xx
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not TOO expensive to fix the damage.
ReplyDeleteDid you have pipes that froze?
ReplyDeleteHope the repairs are not horribly expensive.
Not good. Did the water come down the stairs or through the ceiling?
ReplyDeleteI must admit to having a preference for "shit, wank and bollox" as my expletives of the moment. Better days ahead old lad..
ReplyDeleteWell shit, that's not good.
ReplyDeleteJohn - I am assuming you, as an intelligent homeowner with a mortgage, has homeowner's insurance. Now is the time to contact them. (Advice (wanted or otherwise) from a retired insurance claims agent.
ReplyDeletePlumbing and water damage are never easily dealt with.
ReplyDeleteIt happens to the best of us.
A few years ago, I had to replace hardwood floors and repair the heat pump that caused the l flood. The heat pump engineer found that a spider built a nest inside the heat pump evaporation line that took water outside. When the water flow was blocked, in spilled into the living room.
Never a dull moment!
Aieeeeeee! You just had the bathroom renovated!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG so sorry I'm laughing but you make the most horrible situations funny with your writing style! Linda
ReplyDeleteNot good. Short of washing away, water is the worst damage to fix. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteHow did this happen? You left the tap on, the twins turned it on, a pipe broke/ froze? Such a huge exhausting clean up. I hope you have good insurance. What is under the kitchen floor, a cellar, a crawl space? Is the water leaking down there too? My mom would always say when things flooded, "Oh it's ok, water always dries."
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the "one day good, next day disaster". You have my complete sympathy. Somehow, we always get through, but that sinking feeling when we realize what's happened . . .
ReplyDeleteI hope not too much was damaged. Flooding can be devastating.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Your lovely kitchen. I hope you manage to get things sorted without too much trouble. Xx
ReplyDeleteOh no! How horrible. You didn't have long to simply enjoy your peaceful and happy time then. I hope the damage isn't too bad.
