We have had a house fire. We weren't there and are all ok. We have lost the majority of our belongings, we were visiting family so had a suitcase of clothes/toiletries . We are staying there until accommodation can be sorted in our home town. It was upstairs so some of down stairs may be salvageable although some has smoke damage but need to wait till it's been assessed . It's just unreal we have gone from having normal everyday lives to losing our home within a few hours. We are lucky to have family support and that we are all ok but all our stuff is gone (memories etc. we don't know if it will all be covered on insurance yet and there's stuff that's irreplaceable. Nothing anyone can do just want to share.

Hi OP,
Just reading your thread. I'm sorry you and your family have had this happen.
I hope by now you've heard more from your insurance company and are on the road to healing from this trauma although I'd imagine you have good days and bad days.Flowers

@Sweetpea1532 thank you, things have settled a little. Insurance have agreed the claim which is a big relief. We have been put in a rental near ds school. Still nothing started on house, waiting for cleaning company to go in but relived to have somewhere to live.
