AAAAAAHHHHH THATS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID!

WHAT A DAY!... I woke up after having only a couple hours of sleep feeling rough, so that wasnt the best starts, but shook myself down and thought come on get a grip! So after running Steve to school at 8am, I thought should be ok day. Let the ponies out and then we had people arrive late to collect and dismantle a kitchen from the holiday cottages that we sold on ebay (DONT BOTHER!), they looked at the kicthen as said I dont think the water is off as the tap was dripping, I phoned Rich our plumber and he confirmed it was off just a couple of drips, from the tap not the people...well actually...., meanwhile the Baileys delivery came to be unloaded and sorted which was in the way of these people, so they hung around not terribly impressed but waited for us to clear. To cut a REAL long story shortI think they must have tampered with the stop tap, as when I saw them when they left, they advised me they put some ends on the sink pipe to stop it dripping, I thought ahhh kind soles, thats nice of them. However whilst I was trying to get my mailshot out and invoices done, whilst juggling the multitude of decisions  that we had to make today, diggers, cabling, drainage ditches, orders all to start MOnday...I heard a beeping so thought ruddy smoke alarm...I searched for it and took the battery out, but it kept going, but the phone kept going and the beeping was getting louder, then Pete arrived home whilst I was on the phone, to let me know in not a calm way that we had a leak and it was major. The people must have turned the stop tap and wrecked the thread because instead of slightly dripping, I took off what they had capped it with and it had the force of a fire hose it hit the other wall with water, I was drenched and managed to get the stop end on, honestly it was like a comedy only I didnt find it funny!!!!... SO instead of the water coming out downstairs in a slight drip the people had forced it upwards by capping  up through the building and it flooded the cottage it has ruined all the ceilings and smoke alarms and was running down from the top of the cottage to the bottom..... So Pete ran down to the road and if you know it here you know its a fair way, forgot shovel to dig out the main stop tap, ran back up.etc....Then I ran down to help...meanwhile we are now expecting a meeting to arrive any minute and Jamie our electrician was on the phone (I was holding ohone to petes ear while he dug, I bet it looked so funny), I needed to get to school at some point to collect...He finally managed to turn it off but when I ran huffing and puffing back up to check it was still going, so this time I hopped on my bike to get back down quicker, by which  time Pete thought he had cracked it, so cycled back up to check, so with mud and water all over us the meeting turned up, we acted all calm and collected but looking like something that crawled from the undergrowth, god knows what he thought. I had to text our guests that the water was off until a plumber can get here, jumped in the car to try to get Steve form school and some HIghways white shirt man had decided today was the day to put three way traffic lights in my way......then all the "I'm afraid of a junction" people were out in force doing 20mph.... got to post office to post mailshot, dropped all 200 on the floor, managed to get in post office like Mr Bean and get the stamps, then late for school, dropped Steve to golf, back to feed animals, stuck stamps on and negotiated the crazy three way lights for a fourth time in 1hour, with still " I'm afraid of junction" people out, I am sure someone wheels them out when I am having a real bad day!!!!, posted letters, picked up Steve from practice, let out ponies, Jamie electrician came to go through the drawings that we have had just loads of time to do today....and then much needed Rich the plumber arrived to sort the water, just to put tin hat on it we were measuring the cable yardage and the heavens opened. I have really had enough today!...Thats only half of the day, I'd be here all night if I told you everything today!!!! Oh and the dog was sick on the floor!!! nice!
