Evening
So much happened yesterday.
I was at mum's, working from home with Jack. Dad phoned me to say the electricians would be over for a few hours so not to bother going home as we would have no electric or heating. So fair enough kinda thing. We stayed and worked from home. I was still working on my marie curie picture and this is how far I got.
I sent it to the teacher and she loved it ^^
Later on at 5pm we decided to grab Ozwald and go home. To find all our lights off, apart from a lamp on the kitchen with a child....
We walked in and there was just on electrician working with his 7 year old son. He said he couldnt get childcare since he finished school earlier. I said that it was fine, as it was. I did not mind a child in my house. The electrician said he was finishing up, so me and Jack kept the 7 year company. Which was fine and it was all a bit weird. Talking with a child in my house, in the dark. Time was getting on so we went to go see the electrician and he said it wasnt going well.
We had been warned that our house would need a full rewiring due to the wiring and fuse box being so old. We knew this when we brought the house. However we werent planning on fixing this issue til a few months in. As it costs money, as in a few thousands. The electrician couldnt even get the power on as every time he put on the new fuses they kept tripping out due to the electrics being so badly wired. Basically when our house was built, electricians didnt need to qualified...how worrying is that!? so people did anything with wires. We have several potential fire points in our wiring. It worries jack to death, I on the other hand try not to think too much about it. But being stood in my pitch black freezing home at 7pm last night and being told that, the house needs that rewiring NOW made me feel sick. Actually no i didnt feel sick. I felt NUMB. I couldnt feel the coldness of my house despite it being -2c outside and my heating had been off since 9:30am. I rang my mum and told her all this and she told me to just come home, not to get cold and stressed. The electrician said cus he's immigrating next month, he doesnt have any work in this month so he can do it. and felt awful for leaving us like this. So I am glad we have someone to do it for us, however it is going to cost he said at least £2500. and we are in the process of having our bathroom done, which again, is a few thousand T^T
why!?
so we all left the house, me and jack grabbed essentials and took s few bits out the fridge and freezer we wanted to keep but luckily there wasnt much left in there. We took over to mum's pizza out of freezer to eat for dinner and mum kindly cooked them. Oz was stressed he didnt understand what was happening bless him and that he would have to sleep in a different hutch tonight. his face said it all - pure confusion. I wanted him to be happy and not stressed.
I came into the living room where my dad had lit the log fire, i couldnt feel the heat. not cus i was cold but because i was numb. people were asking me if i was ok and i said i was ok. cus i felt nothing. weird how the brain works isnt it. me and jack set up my bedroom like old times XD and sat with Oz to see if he was ok and he had chilled out luckily.
My dad talked to us both about what is happening as the bathroom and electrics is being sorted by his mates so he is more in touch with them than us really. so glad its getting sorted. he seemed ok about it all and said we were in a good place as we can work from home, we have here to stay, we have money. life could be worse. yes it could. i had only moved out 3 weeks ago and now i am homeless, just seems unfair somehow
we went to bed together and god is it cramped in a single bed
at 3:30pm i woke up and felt crippled from being cramped up all night so i went downstairs to sleep but it was no better on there really. I was up at 7am, so managed to sleep from 5-7am.
I didnt do much this morning as I felt and looked like a zombie so I went back to bed.
we did a big a walk and we popped into the bungalow with a list of where we want plug sockets and such as now is the time to get extras fitted. but no one was there...the plasterer had been to do the bathroom but no electrician, despite jack paying him £500 last night up front for materials -_____-
it best get bloody done.
then I have rested today really as I havent been able to do much more
Oz is fine he happy
Jack, Jack is missing his home but said he was grateful for being able to come here.
Tomorrow no plans really
suppose it depends how well i sleep
nothing we can do towards the house, its all in other people's hands
just cant believe we have nothing. no electric, heating or shower.
we got the house to a good standard, to now not be able to live in it.
