Severe weather warnings!

We have been issued with severe weather warnings for our area. Bloody rain. We've only gone and sprung a leak. On a flat roof (typical) on the bay window in the music room. (No we're not that posh, its jut what my Mum used to call it because that was where the piano was) Really pissed off as it looks like we will have to decorate after it is repaired and we really could do without that expense. (shouldn't really moan though, at least we're not like all those poor sods who lost everything in the floods and some are still not back in their houses)

All in all it has been a bit of a shitty week for us. On Tuesday my son failed his bus driving test again (only minor faults, but that's besides the point) He is absolutely gutted. Sadly, it also means he is now unemployed again.

Wednesday our beautiful dog Bubba was very unwell. Throwing up everywhere (bless him though, he always went through to the kitchen to the lino floor, so easily cleaned up) and passing blood in his stool. He had a raging temperature too. He is much improved but we still don't know what caused it. Waiting to hear from the vet. Peanut was in a right state as he considers Bubba to be his boy!

Then later on Wednesday, Babes went to drive my Dad home the car brakes started playing up so it is now off the road awaiting repairs. To top it all off we are also without an oven. Thankfully we are able to use the one in Peanut's kitchen (we have a "granny flat" in the house which Peanut lives in, not that he cooks for himself very often)

As I have posted before, things are quite tight at the moment because of all the upset at Babes work (it is now so bad he has been looking for another job) however the savings we do have were to be used to buy a new bed which we seriously need. Babes has back problems (previously had a discectomy) and needs a good firm mattress to give him the proper support. So the dilemma now is - do we wait for the bed, possibly leading to more pain and discomfort for Babes in favour of repairing the car and replacing the oven or do we get the new bed and continue to use Peanut's oven and do without the car for a couple of weeks.

Could probably claim for the leak and water damage on the insurance, but will have to wait until the bloody rain stops before we can see how bad it is, and the forecast is for persistent heavy rainfall all weekend.
