Storm Ciaran has arrived in earnest.
Anxiety is spiking a little as it always has in bad weather since our flood.
I'm good. We have had a brand new back door fitted this summer and the seal is so much better. New, bigger and better drains too.
FUUUUUUUUCKKKKK!
Why did I open my fucking mouth?
It's happened again! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@stueytheround
I'm so sorry you are going through that - again! I hope you have somewhere else to stay.
@Anemone We are going to My Mum for now.
We'll talk to our landlord in the morning.
@stueytheround 💙 please give Eleanor a hug for me. So stressful for you both.
@stueytheround Fucking hell,where'd it come through?
@FrankCannon Our new back door! It was just too much pressure.
@stueytheround Bloody hell,how deep was it outside?Know that pain very well,had the house flooded in Ballymena back in '96.....3ft of water right through it.
@FrankCannon unknown at this time, its not as deep as August 2020.
Our family on both sides has had floods, either burst pipes or outside water entering the home.
@Mauve_matelot Not a nice start to November for you both. @stueytheround
@stueytheround How awful! Glad you have a place to stay. Sorry you are going through this again. 💜
@stueytheround oh no, I’m so sorry you have to deal with this again 🥺
@stueytheround noooooooooo noooooo I'm so sorry
Oh Stuey 😞💔
The stress and aggravation for you both—I am SO sorry
@stueytheround Oh nooo! That's terrible! 😢
oh NO ffs! :/ I’m so sorry Stu!!! @stueytheround
@stueytheround I'm so so sorry that is awful :(
@stueytheround aw shoot Stuey…that’s just a crappy deal going through it again. 🙁🙁🙁
@stueytheround
Sending a hug for you and Eleanor! ❤️ Glad at least you have a place to stay. You're in my prayers. 🙏
@stueytheround I am so sorry to hear that :(
Would it be possible to look at moving to a higher elevation within the next few years to minimize the chance of flooding?
Oh no!
I’m so sorry this has happened again. Terrible.
@stueytheround I am so so sorry! This is such an anxiety producing situation. I hope you can sleep well…and come up with a plan…again, my heart goes out to you two.
@stueytheround holy shit! I work with restoration companies and there’s nothing worse than flooding! Water is just impossible to stop!
Oh, I'm so sorry. Water damage is really difficult.
@stueytheround oh noooooo. This sucks! Sorry this happened to you!😟 I hope it doesn’t cause much damage.
@stueytheround
I am so sorry.
@stueytheround oh that's shit mate, hope you guys are as alright as you can be.
@stueytheround
Oh Stuey, Eleanor. I don't even know what to say. I'm so sorry. Ciaran is a jerk. I'm glad you're safe, but this is so unfair!!!!!
@janallmac Thank you. It's upsetting of course, but It is what it is. We're safe and reasonably healthy and we have *amazing* support from people like you ❤️
@stueytheround Ohmigosh Stuey! What a disaster, and you say it's the 2nd time in 3 years???!!!
Hope you get the water out and the house cleaned up soon - and get some remedy against it happening again. Keep the faith!
@stueytheround
so sorry. glad you are ok though.
extreme weather/climate change?
@stueytheround Oh Stuey and @Mauve_matelot I am so very sorry this happened again. 💔
@stueytheround @Mauve_matelot
I’m so very sorry you are both having to endure another flood. I hope the landlord is being super responsive to your needs. Hugs❤️
@Esther
Landlord is absolutely on the case.
Hopefully only 8 to 10 weeks. Might be spending Christmas in an air bnb. We can live with that! @Mauve_matelot
@stueytheround @Esther @Mauve_matelot
Mail still coming ok?
@Esther
As things currently stand, we have 4 nights remaining at our posh pad. The carpet has been removed from the bedroom, and kitchen kickboards have been replaced at our home.
Drainage troughs are due to be added to the courtyard. I'm not sure if they will meet connected to Drains or Soakaway.
We expect another update from our letting agency in the next 48 hours.
We are due to visit family 1-9 December so it's all a bit crazy at the moment.

@Mauve_matelot
Thank you so much for the update on your journey through this flood-recovery! I’m glad they got you someplace nice for a short while, yet this all sounds so hard. Glad their making progress- hopefully done by Dec 9…. Maybe you can be somewhat settled before the holidays 🙏🏼❤️
@stueytheround Oh no!!! I am so sorry!
