What is it with leaks? They lie in wait hidden away for several days until they suddenly jump on you at 2.38pm, at the very beginning of a long weekend, when your trusty plumber is in Wales and won’t be back until Wednesday.
Please keep your fingers crossed that the drip drip from under my kitchen sink doesn’t get worse and that a large saucepan is enough to keep things dry until next week. Emergency plumbers are nasty nasty individuals who exploit people’s misery.
Just as well I don’t do holidays, eh?
Slap!
Update (30.08.07): I’m sure you’re all waiting with bated breath to hear what happened yesterday when the plumber came. Well, what do you know, he didn’t. I got up especially for him too. Anyway, he came earlier today. Verdict: I need a new tap, but I can use silicone bath sealant in the meantime. Great, I’ve never bought a tap in my life. I really need new experiences just now. As if I didn't have enough on my plate, what with that stupid Tax Return getting properly lost and my having to redo it all, etc. etc.
By the way, I wasn't kidding about leaks revealing themselves at Bank Holidays: this is the third time it's happened to me.
On a happier note: the packet of Scottish salmon fillets I’ve just opened says, ‘Allergy advice: contains fish’. I should hope so.

*sigh* Sad news. Houses are just money pits.
ReplyDeleteI know. :-(
ReplyDeleteStill, it's not leaking as much as I feared (I'm not using the tap and that helps) so I think it might hold until Wednesday (that's if my plumber actually comes on Wednesday).
Sapphire Stocking, I have tried to leave a comment on your blog, but somehow I can't make it stay there. Thank you so much for the name you gave me. That was really kind of you. :-)
LOL on the fish advice! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteHope nothing springs a leak this weekend.
Rabbit rabbit! May September treat you well.
ReplyDeleteIt's an ordinary weekend here so... (don't want to say... afraid to jinx it...). Also, we're allowed to wear white shoes still. Not that I would, mind you, but it's allowed.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't usually do the Rabbit! Rabbit! thing, but, there!, I've done it. Need all the help I can get. :-)
