the sorry tale of the flood in the loo!

i woke up one day and had to paddle to the bathroom, it was 6.00 am
after a few carefully dedicated mins on the throne, i lifted the cistern lid and had a poke about .......... i managed to flush the cistern, but then a great gusher erupted in the room, i guess the water pressure is quite high at that time ........ 06.03
i failed to find the tap to turn off the water, so the water flooded the hall,
i looked under the sink, and managed to split open my forehead on a large piece of wood.
With blood over my jammies, i knocked on neighbour's flat [they are USUALLY] up early!

 

what happened in the next few days can be compressed into a disaster movie, i did find a tap and turned all the water off in house, i tried to get plumbers to come, and to buy a new loo, there was some delay so i thot, i can fit it myself [or so my brother suggested]!!!!!!!!!!!!... i had two days with no loo!......

 

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have nice neighbours?????????? Or did you resort to a bucket!!!!!! Did your mind play tricks on you (like when we go camping and the loos are half way accross a HUGE field???) and need the loo 1/2 a dozen times in the night, when you normally sllep through........

 

Hope you now have the new loo LG, one day you might laugh about it but it must have been a horrible few days.

 

Oh dear, I hope all is now resolved LG. Fiddling with floods and plumbing in the night is no joke - I hope you neighbours continued to understanding during your two days without a loo.

 

i now appreciate the simpler things in life, and have a very swank throne to cogitate on [double flush ] courtesy of Armitage shanks
