Good luck! Several times in my life I've had disasters like this and I always found it easier in the end just to let it all go.Ravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477748945525347593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-36464937897250420402012-05-07T18:28:21.902+01:002012-05-07T18:28:21.902+01:00"the Sky Scarf is slipping away from me.

Variations of grey and blue have become a bit tedious."<br /><br />I know it wouldn't be a sky scarf but have you thought about selecting something else? Perhaps the backyard? Or the street view from the front door? <br /><br />Do those until the last days of August and then return to sky colors. You would then have equal amounts of sky framing garden, or street, or whatever you selected.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270585225479625674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-16389423391423681222012-05-06T21:35:47.061+01:002012-05-06T21:35:47.061+01:00It might make you feel better to write that letter...It might make you feel better to write that letter, Jean, but you should think long and hard about actually sending it. In all my years of flooding and being flooded in Edinburgh tenements, I've never heard of anyone doing such a thing and if you were my neighbour, I would probably think you were crazy. I once had a New Town ceiling actually fall in owing to water damage from upstairs and I know what a grim experience it is. I’ve also not heard of anyone paying for damage to someone else’s property: you insure your own property and not your liability for damaging other people’s. Who was it who advised you not to have contents insurance? I think that’s who you should be having a word with.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045029232081633077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-50551241099335635872012-05-06T13:40:20.178+01:002012-05-06T13:40:20.178+01:00Not only do you have the right to send the letter ...Not only do you have the right to send the letter but I think you and your husband should be reimbursed for all expenses. Have you asked them? Is there such a thing as small claims court? The threat of action might bring upstairs around to paying. <br />I did make such a threat once after asking politely to be reimbursed when a neighbors child ran into me with his bike. The trip to ER and the numerous stitches to my leg cost $300 more than the neighbors insurance company was willing to pay. The neighbor paid and I'm not sorry I demanded it. When people damage you or your property they should be held responsible.Theresa Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561062155625437881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49372743463368222442012-05-06T13:01:59.237+01:002012-05-06T13:01:59.237+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004651109262737552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-44661777252248515192012-05-06T13:01:48.341+01:002012-05-06T13:01:48.341+01:00I adore the Hundertwasser sock - the colours are m...I adore the Hundertwasser sock - the colours are marvelous.<br /><br />And curiousity has gotten the better of me.

It may have been an accident caused by carelessness but people are increasingly careless of the impact their actions have on others and need reminding from time to time that 'do unto others etc.' means them too. You should be inundated with help and fresh flowers by way of an apology.<br /><br />Take care of yourself xAnnie @ knitsofactohttp://knitsofacto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
