That is just awful - not just the water but everything ruined, and like you said it is a new build. On top of everything else! I really hope 2010 is lacking in this kind of event and has many sticking, pasting, painting, making events of the creative kind instead.

I really feel for you about the shite year and also the flooding - we were flooded last week, but really, yours is so much worse, how awful with that brown water (at least our flood was rain and bathwater, not the worst).<br /><br />Here's to 2010 that will be heaps better for you.

I know exactly what you mean with reference to crying and feeling like you may never be able to stop and the final straw. Sometimes after a series of bad times, one thing can suddenly , unexpectably, bring us to our knees. Don't though, let this spoil your feeling of safety in your house, because the house is just the same, it has just sprung a leak, but still your lovely home! Have a good drink, do something you enjoy, even if it is a small thing. I hope you feel better in the morning. Big hugs and love to you. suzie. xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215149035079179279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406383393409112544.post-31954261274374886352009-12-11T22:27:03.420+00:002009-12-11T22:27:03.420+00:00Oh no!

It sounds as though you probably need a good cry after all that has happened to you. It will all be ok and it will all get sorted but you are allowed to be pissed off and upset in the meantime. Glad you are having a sherry or two! I'm just about to blog about how generous and lovely you are with a photo of the fab teacup candle you sent me so hope that cheers you up a tiny little bit. xSew Scrumptioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611969878018369440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406383393409112544.post-33312583597145915232009-12-11T22:19:26.505+00:002009-12-11T22:19:26.505+00:00Oh no.
