Usually abit busy to post so this is a first for a while but had to share this just because I can't believe it!
What are the chances of having a pigeon falling down your chimney? Fairly good if your name is Caldwell.
Sitting on the settee last night everyone eating tea. Rumbling from chimney area - bloody noisy neighbours again Another rumbling abit louder now and a bit of soot coming down the chimney. Me and him look at each other - fook!!! Louder rumbling- more soot- kids evacuated. First thing to lay my hands on is a bath towel and a roll of masking tape to block the hole up.
We all then sit alfresco to finish our tea and ponder on the worse case scenario. Marcus pops back in to see if there's anymore fell down. There is - but this time it has wings and you can see pecking at the bath towel. So in the end with help from the neighbours because I don't do flappy wing things the pigeon is rescued and released unharmed but black and Marcus is standing there dripping with soot. I see the state of my lounge and have a small weep.
I then have a pop at Marcus because he forget to get the Insurance details from the pigeon
After reading the policy cover last night I was convinced that we wouldn't be covered but we were and esure have been great. I have a sweep vacing the rest of my chimney at noon and an army of specialist cleaners popping in to clean. We are all watching cbeebies in my bedroom now.
Still can't quite believe it. It will sink in soon. I think!
