WHAT A WEEK!

Oh , and what a week! We have been trying to solve the problem as to why we have water coming through the wall in one of our bedrooms. We have had it replastered last year as we thought as it was very badly cracked, that must have been the cause of the wet wall.....no it wasnt!  So Jim, bless him, went up the tall ladder to the roof and cleared out the gutters to see if that did the trick..... nope! So after then treating the wall with an expensive compund for porous bricks, still to no avail, up he went into the loft and lo and behold there it was....a broken tile just above the where the wall is wet.  Now at least we know where the water is coming from. We do know someone that can fix it for us so at last we can relax having solved the mystery.

Yesterday, I got up early because an engineer was coming to repair my washing machine. Noisy spin cycle , no problem, 10 minute job or so I thought.  Wrong again, not only did he not arrive just after 9am as promised but closer to 2pm but after putting the machine through its paces he looked at me and shook his head and declared that it was going to be a big job. A the parts needed, (new bearings, motor etc) had to be ordered and would take at least 7 days to arrive! On top of that it would take an engineer 2 1/2 hours to do it.  So I am left with a basket full of washing and no machine to wash it in. So its either the Launderette or daughter Kerry`s machine. Theres no contest, the launderette is expensive and Kerry lives local and is free so Kerrys it will be ! All I have to do is tell her, sorry ASK her if I can do my washing at her place! Anyway everyone have a great weekend as I certainly plan to as long as nothing else goes wrong !
