Unlike the rest of my day. They cut the water off for emergency repairs, so we went out, but not before one fo the kids turned on a tap. For fifty minutes, water was pissing out of the sink at a rate of about 15L/minute. The whole flat is flooded and we're just hoping it doesn't leak into the flat below as I've been mopping for ten hours and it's still pooling up. It's also far too late to phone up a carpet cleaner, so hopefully it's ok overnight.
I get the feeling that's the small amount of savings we had gone.
FUCK.

Unfortunately, the wrong way. All the 24-hr carpet cleaners are going to answerphones, except one very sleepy woman.

Lovely, sleepy women is sending someone round - they reckon it take 60-90 minutes and cost $300-450 (200-300 squid). It's going to be a damn' sight cheaper than paying for flood damage to downstairs...

A ceiling light has come down downstairs. There is a very slim chance that we might not be fucked financially.

Reminds me of an incident some years ago... 3 floors flooded, and a plaster ceiling falling on my head.
