what on earth is going on..
As i posted here last week (awful day) my parents went on the holiday that Nick and I were supposed to be going on leaving me completely alone for the first time since this happened. Well!!!...i swear there is some cosmic conspiracy to repeatedly kick me when im down...24hrs after they left the house flooded GREAT! the upstairs bathroom toilet cistern thing cracked overnight making the bathroom ceramic tiles float and upon going downstairs found water cascading through the kitchen ceiling - torrents of water even running in between the wallpaper and the walls....naturally i fell apart for the millionth time but found the brain cells to call my brother who came round thinking i was exagerating to find out that i wasnt ....spent most of saturday crying until finally cried myself out by teatime thinking it was all over THEN the power went out....i have been sat in relative darkness with jut the odd lamp that will work for a week now ...had an old friend round who is a self employed electrician and he has surmised that the bathroom floor will have to come up and ceiling downstairs will have to come down so he can find out where the problem is and try and fix it .....i cant do anything about it until my parents come back as this isnt my house and i know my dad would go compeltely insane if he came back to no ceilings/floor so everything has to stay as it is for another week
I am absolutely astounded...its just one thing after another to kick me when im down...im so depressed i just want Nick so badly i love him so so very much

Re: what on earth is going on..
Amanda, I feel so much for you. This would be bad enough at any other time but now is just too much.
can you stay with someone else til your parents get back?Sitting in the dark isn't good for you.
if you can't contact your parents and don't know their insurance details just ask your brother to keep a track of what's gone on so your dad can hand it over to the insurance when he gets back. As the house wasn't empty when it happened, they'll be covered and as you are not the policy holder it's not up to you to deal with it so i'm sure it will all get sorted.
Your immediate problem is feeling awful so just deal with that.....can you go to a friends until they get back?

Re: what on earth is going on..

Amanda
What an awful time you are having , my heart goes out to you.
I wish I could help in some way. You really do need to ask your brother (Who sounds very supportive) to stay with you till your parents get back. These are decisions you do should not be having to deal with,
Sending Big Hugs (Wish it could be more)

Re: what on earth is going on..
Hi Amanda,
I know exactly how you feel, in the 8 wks since my husband passed away i have had the worst run of bad luck, they say things come in 3's, well i'm now on my 10th so i dont believe that now!
Take care of yourself and i hope your brother can stay with you till your parents get back.
Have you told them yet? Are they keeping in contact with you while away?
Look after yourself and remember the only way way you reach rock bottom is up, and hopefully we will be heading that way soon!
Here's hoping!
Thinking of you!
Big hugs cath xx
