D-I-Y (or Don’t-I-Y)
About a week ago, the cold water tap on the bath stopped functioning. I turned it on, and a little trickle of water came out, then that stopped too and there was No More Cold Water. So every time I ran a bath this week, I had to run the hot water in from the hot water tap, and stand there filling the kids’ measuring cups from the cold tap on the sink and tossing the water from them into the bath. There is a perfectly good shower in the ensuite bathroom (it still feels so pretentious saying “ensuite” :lol:) but sometimes a bath is what you need…especially if you’re me and you’re pregnant.
Being Handy Types, we couldn’t even figure out how to turn the water supply off (no, it’s not under the sink). We think it’s in the attic. But it doesn’t matter now, because Scratchy took the top of the tap off today and put back the little spring-y thing that had popped out - oh, about a week ago. Yep, just when the tap stopped working. Nope, he didn’t think to mention this before now.
And the tap works again.
I could complain, but I won’t. I’ll just be grateful that it’s easy to run a bath again, okay?
Now we need to get the broadband sorted out, because it keeps losing the connection for some reason. I must ring Pipex (again) tomorrow *sigh*
