I think you did very well considering the circumstances Rosebud...well done you! ;D

[Mrs Ava]

Yay, good on you and your hubby Rosebud.  Some of the best events are held when things aren't going quite to plan or are impromptu.  

[Margaret]

Cor,Rosie,if these things are sent to try us,makes you wonder who could be so cruel as to give you a double dose!!

Amazing how we cope in the face of adversity.I think disasters like this are better for being immediate.You don't have time to worry or panic!!  :o :o

Anyway,well done,and I bet your party went all the better for it.Have you got it sorted now?  

Thanks too for your message of support and congrats to us.It is wonderful to have so many caring people take such an interest.

Hi Margaret no we havent got it sorted yet we are waiting for the insurance people to decide if they will pay the bill  it is going to be quite a big job.  Yes you are right i did not have time to panic it all happened so fast.
But Hey we managed. We had a great time UNTILL someone wanted a wee and then the laughter started.
We are going away for a few days next week so hopefully the insurance will have got back by then.Yes we are turning all the water off !!!!!!! ::).  We are going to YORK hope it dosen`t flood  while we are there :D.
           Cheers Margaret from Rosebud.

Oh Rosebud - you poor thing.  I hope the insurance company cough up - you know what they are like for finding loopholes in claims.   >:(  Sounds as if everyone had a good laugh though.  :D :D Anyway enjoy your break and I hope you have good news on your return.
