Mum and Dads Place

We decided to take off for the weekend considering my husband and I had the day off work yesterday we packed the kids up and headed off to Bargara to my parents for the weekend. I was excited to see my mums new kitchen which is still to be grouted but its coming along nicely. This little beach cottage is going to be lovely once is all finished. We were sound asleep last night and I heard this driping noise. I got up as I thought it was raining only to discover that the roof was leaking. When I turned on the lights the house was flooding and water pouring in from everywhere. Woke everyone up, Dad turned the water off at the mains and we began the clean up. Plumber here this morning only to discover a burst water main. So lucky we were here as mum and dad sleep upstairs and they would not have realised the downstairs was flooding. Oh the joys.Will get back to enjoying my weekend at the beach.

    Hi Sandy,
    That kitchen is just lovely. Looks like it gets plenty of sun. What a great place to sit & have brekky at.
    What a pain in the backside about the burst water main, hope the clean up didnt take too long & that there was no damage.

    Hi Sandy, Love your mums kitchen. We can see where you inherited your love of all things white. I bet you gave her those beautiful flowers on the table. Let me know what you are hunting for at the moment, I have cute little hall/kitchen table up at the moment that could do with the sandy treatment. Cheers Katherine
