At 4 o'clock I came downstairs, only to discover a trails of destruction in the living room. Mabel & Dijon had escaped...
I am too upset to write much about it, but I'd estimate that about £200 of damage has been done (that's damage we have discovered so far). Here's what was immediately visible:
- Two camera bags ripped
- Power supply to router in two pieces
- Telephone cable in pieces
- Router-phone socket cable destroyed
- Sewing machine power cable severely eaten
The telephone will need replacing as it took a special cable to power it. As it was the master phone the other two DECTs will no longer work. They will need replacing (£40 again).
Router power supply will probably cost about £10 to replace, or I'll have to buy a new router (at around £20 for a basic one).
The sewing machine power supply is another matter altogether. The machine is only a week old; a replacement pedal costs £69 which is third of what the machine cost! And search as I might, there don't seem to be any generic ones for this particular model of sewing machine.
Ouh
To say we are upset is an understatement.
