Getting ready to start drying

What a mess and a lot of hard work!

Oh dear - that does sound daunting

Hope you have a good base to hand

Thanks Caine, Mandy., OjoAzure and Viv. Yes, Caine, a major task. Mandy., we were due to have estate agents in today to value the property. Now we have a lot of the work associated with moving, but no happy end result. OjoAzure, we have someone coming in the morning to assess that risk. Thanks, Viv, we are sorting out some alternative accommodation while the house is dried and refurbished:)

all will be well again.

packing it all up? moving two kids and yourselves? all the mess, the forms, the moving. arghhh.

Hope it all goes ok.

Oh no! Serious stuff.

Hope everything from now on goes as smoothly as possible.

Make sure you get good accom for the next few weeks. After that you'll have a lovely, fresh de-cluttered 'new' home. Extreme spring-cleaning!

Really bad luck. Hope things will get sorted out rapidly

Thanks parabolichobo, swamprose, Puddikat, Helen, JD and Minkey.

The carpets are all gone and the dehumidifiers are running now, which makes it feel like I'm sitting in a tumble drier. The rest of the family are with friends tonight and tomorrow night and I'm talking to the loss adjuster tomorrow about alternative accommodation.
