Oh dear!

Today started perfectly. I woke up at 7:30 and P was still snoring. Time for a shower and get ready before she wakes I thought. So I got showered and dressed and she was still asleep. Hurrah! Time for a cup of tea too.... This is the life, I thought.

That all changed however as I got to the bottom of the stairs. I saw two damp patches on the carpet. That's strange I thought. The cat must of had an accident and Mr J must have cleared it up before he went to work. Then I noticed another wet patch that seemed to be coming from under the playroom door.... Very strange! I thought. I opened the door and peered inside but it was still very dark with the curtains closed. I switched the light on and was greeted with a loud BUZZZZ! The light flicked and went straight off again. I tiptoed across the floor and noticed my feet getting damp through my slippers.... I opened the curtains......and saw a massive puddle in the middle of the room! Water was drip, drip, dripping from the ceiling and everything was soaked.

I panicked and ran upstairs, looked in the airing cupboard and instantly saw the cause of the problem. That damn pipe that was only looked at 3 weeks ago. I ran back downstairs and turned all the water and electricity off and got straight on the phone to Mr J. He said he would come straight back home and for me to ring the estate agents as soon as they opened to arrange an emergency plumber!!

Well the plumber has now been and gone and we are left with water in the kitchen taps only. No hot water, no bath or shower and no toilets!!! He has to wait for a spare part that he should be able to get tomorrow. The heating is thankfully working and we are trying to dry the carpets best we can. Think the playroom might need a paint job though, the water has left lots of pretty patterns on the ceiling and walls xx
