Default Mother Natures Horrific Monday Morning

I would like to let all Mother Nature's friends know that unfortunately her house burnt to the ground this morning. With great luck the children, and Lisa are all OK, very shaken and in a state of disbelief. If you would like to contact her we can pass the message on to her, as her phone,computer and everything is no longer.

OMG!!!
Thanks for letting us know she is ok, thats absolutely horrible to lose a house like that (along with all her stuff).
If theres anything she needs, she just has to ask, I'm sure everyone on the forums will help out any way they can.

Send her mine and Mrs Caspers best and let her know we are thinking of her.

Thanks.

Thats terrible news! The main thing is Lisa and the kids are ok first and foremost but what a bad case of luck. Lisa tends to run into a lot of bad luck....which hopefully turns around for the better

She does a brilliant job of doing well with what she has by herself, maybe we can all help in someway

That's very sad news indeed but the main thing is her and the kids are OK. Any information on the cause of the fire?

I'm more than happy to help in any way I can if needed. Maybe if someone could find out what she needs for herself and the kids - get a list together or something of the sort. We could all work together and try and replace some things.

Sorry to hear Lisa, but I'm glad to hear all are ok, I know what you are going through as my sister's house burn't to the ground last yr, with all of them in it at night, including 3 little boy's aged 2, 5, and 7, it was a frantic rush to find them and we were all scared, so I'm glad all are acounted for Lisa.

this is shocking news - Lisa, and the kids - glad to hear you are ok.

Lisa - when you are ready, I have a 68cm TV for you - it will help keep the kids calm in your time of need.

Cheers from the Philbie Clan.
