Good to hear you're getting there, Marianne - well done on getting through such a weird time generally with that on top of it all! Thank you. Now to try and set up some form of play area for Eve!

The budgies are out and Eve is eating her books. Things are back to normal.

UPDATE: Apparently there is a new under floor leak. So, today we're possibly going to have to move out for "a few days". We'll know more after 10am when they arrive to inspect the problem. We are beyond gutted. We hadn't even got the place back in order properly yet. In fact we only got our broadband back yesterday after 5 months without and having to use our phones as mobile hotspots. As we had to enter into a new broadband contract, yet again we're paying for a service that we cannot use. Exhausted both physically and mentally and the budgies won't be able to come out

Oh Marianne - this is awful for you! Just too much. Fingers crossed that the findings are not as feared. But the thought alone must feel crushing. Keep us updated. Hugs to you all.

Oh no! I really hope you don't have to move out, even for a few days. What a nightmare

Think I'd be asking to see the works manager, and give him what's for.
I really feel for you Marianne.
Fingers crossed you may not have to move.

Oh no. That’s totally not acceptable. If you do have to, tell them they have to pay your broadband as it’s their inability to check all was ok

Surely they would have to cover any costs incurred, no?

That is terrible. I really can't imagine what you are going through.

Like everyone else has said, this is just awful. Hopefully its not bad and something that can be fixed without much fuss.

Well, the damage is really bad! They wanted to just put a patch on the pipe, but they are going to replace them instead (phew) They did say it was better that we moved out for a while, but we insisted that we stay. Basically I had to email them to say that against advice, we didn't want to move out while the work was done. For their records I guess! So, the budgies had to stay in for a lot of the day and were only let out around 4pm. Also, for the second day running, Eve missed her 11am to 2pm nap (we couldn't get to the bedroom), so she was so overtired that she would not eat dinner and basically threw bits of it at us and cried. We're moving her smaller cot into the living room for tomorrow in the hope she'll nap in it during the day. She did fall asleep on me for 20 minutes, but when she heard them sawing, she woke up crying. This is what the bathroom and passageway currently look like. No bath. No bathroom door - the shower curtain that we put up in the passageway is for privacy! Predicted 33C tomorrow and no ability to shower.. The budgies this evening, not wanting to go in - around 10pm!

Oh Marianne Marlow you poor things! It's good that you have something positive with the broadband but the rest is an absolute nightmare and with Eve and the buds to take care of too you must be exhausted. If only you could click your heels together and open your eyes to find it all sorted. Tomorrow's heatwave is the last thing you need, hope it isn't too bad for you all

Oh Marianne Marlow that's just awful!!! Did they give you an idea how long it will take to finish it? Hopefully with you all still there and especially a baby, it will push them to finish quickly.
