    Default 9 months after the flood

    Hi everyone
    You probably don't remember but we were flooded on Xmas eve and lost the entire ground floor of our home.
    9 months on however, we are almost back to normal (just the gardens to go now). Last weekend we were able to move back downstairs! (We've been living upstairs for 9 months).
    Luckily I'd given up Childminding in the September otherwise I would have lost my income too.
    I thought you might like to see some before & after photos xxx

    Gosh I can't beleve that I have been going about my life happily for the last 9 months and you have had to live upstairs all that time! It has made me really think!
    So glad that you are finally sorted, what a very long year this must have been for you! I expect you weather watch and appreciate your home now far more than the average Joe !

    I did remember you got flooded, so glad to see you are nearly back straight again - fingers crossed it's a dryer autumn and winter for you.

    I remember you posting about it at the time. Wow you just feel like you've got so much room now. How did your little dog get on living upstairs.
    Glad you're back to almost normal now, must have been a long hard nine months

    Little Meg was really good AliceK.
    Up until the flood she hadn't been allowed upstairs, so she thought she was royalty being allowed up there lol.
    Normally in between her walks, she used to let herself in & out the dog flap for a run around the garden, so we just had to take her on lots more walks.
