Ahorsesoul--Yes, I will be posting about my elves. 3 are already with us, but I haven't updated since Halloween. You will have to go to part 2 which is www.allenelves11.blogspot.com. You can link to that from the original blog. I found that some @#$%%$&#%$ had even hacked into my blog. That's pretty slack to hack into something like an elf blog. Kinda made me mad because I'm sure kids look at that and I don't know what the links were to. Anyway.....I tried to delete them, it took awhile and if anyone sees them, please let me know.

Amy -- Just curious, what is smoke damage, is it just the smell, which I know can linger forever, or is it a discoloration on the walls furniture etc? How do they get rid of the smell and fix the damage? My mind is working too good this morning and i haven't even had any caffeine yet!!! WOW!!!



the smoke damage is partly smell, soot on almost everything and yes the discolouration. the insurance company are paying for a professional cleaning company to do everything in house - the walls, ceilings and cupboards etc, everything soft like clothes, teddy bears, curtains etc have gone to be professionally cleaned to get rid of soot n smell. then a builder will come in to seal the walls so that the painter can then re-decorate.

Oh My!
NOT a good thing to happen...well at any time really!

Glad everyone is OK and that the hotel are being helpful.

Don't know where in Cambs you are, but I'm just outside Luton if I can help in any way?

What a terrible situation to have to deal with at any time, but especially at the holidays. You're right... it could have been much much worse and if there's a bright side to look on right now, that would be it. Glad to hear you will be back in your home soon. Thinking of you and your family and praying all goes smoothly now.

Don't know how to tell when the 1st posting was made about the fire, but so glad to know no one was injured. Hasn't been long since the elves are up to some mischief, but hoping they'll soon have your home to use for a playground & not the motel room :-0
