2 weeks and counting

Worked the Saturday clinic at the surgery then rushed home as the loss adjustor from Crawfords (contents) was due some time between 12 and 4. I could have hitched a lift on the back of a snail - phone call at 4.10 to say she'd be another hour or two. In the meantime I started clearing all my craft and card making stuff from under the stairs - came across several things I had forgotten about, as well as plenty of cobwebs and several disgruntled spiders.
She eventually turned up at 5.45pm - 2weeks and 14 hours after the flood. I had to sit and tell the story of the great deluge yet again and yet again walk around and point out all the damage.
We agreed a figure for some of the damaged articles - some will be replaced directly by a supply company - I have to get an estimate for a new bed and count up the cost of the books ruined so they can give the money for those as well.
At last we can get rid of the smelly carpets, though we've got to keep a sample of each for yet another inspection to 'assess the quality'. Too tired to think about ripping up carpets now so it's left for tomorrow.
Go out shopping in the evening - a major item on the list was washing capsules - I've gone through a whole month's supply in less than a week after having to wash all the sheets and things soaked in the flood.
