So.

posted by [personal profile] panik at 10:44am on 03/12/2009 under ,
I was just about to head off to the PO to post a shiny set of new subs to agencies when I see our pale cream curtains are COVERED (and I do not exaggerate) in oily black stripes - seems Mark filled the coal bucket this morning then decided to draw the curtains without bothering to wash his hands.

Took them down, in fairly evil mood it has to be said, stropped off to wash them, opened the washing machine and gallons of smelly black water cascaded out like bleedin' Niagara Falls.

Got rid of Basement the neighbour's cat anyway, resting his bones by the Aga, he was, when the water descended. Gosh he can move when he needs to. ::smiles sweetly::

We've just been mopping up, that took a while. :o) Rassillon knows what's happened or whether it's damaged the bloody machine - there's always been a problem with the drains here, so now we have the plumbers to deal with on top of the coalman and I can't wash the curtains and my day has descended into its accustomed chaos and it's all a bit of a mess, really.

So, how's your day been so far my darling, delicious love-kittens? ::flutter of eyelashes, saintly expression::
Music:: The spin cycle.
Mood:: 'pissed off' pissed off

And I thought *I* was having an exciting day. My hairdryer blew up- there was fire and everything! Then Daisy brought in a bird and covered the whole of the upstairs in feathers. *Sigh*

But looks like you got me beat there. Anything that requires a plumber or similar gets my sympathy. Hope things improve.

Meep. Hope you're not too singed. All sorted here now, just a leaky valve, we fixed it ourselves. The curtains are clean now, too. :o)

Sounds like a wonderful day! Mine's just getting started. I'm on the bus headed to work, and playing with my new blackberry. I'm enjoying it! Good luck with the rest of your day!

Work is shite at the moment, for so many reasons. Yet lo I am stuck here until at least 5.00 pm.

I am having a brief soup break at my desk, hence the fact that I am in ur journal :-)

Argh on the washing machine disaster. Hope you get it sorted - it's crap when you're without one!

All sorted now, curtains clean, Mark suitably chastised.

Mine is the death of a thousand nibbles, instead of an ax-chop. Stay tuned for a long rant against EVIL internet forms that suck away hours and hours just to report on speech therapy, which will be with us until the end of time... or until they give us something worse.

Hope yours isn't too costly/time consuming to fix. (((hugs)))

We fixed it ourselves, it was just a leaky valve, fun while it lasted though. :o)

Internet forms do verily suck big hairy ones.

Oh no! What a chapter of accidents and what a pain. I hope all is resolved quickly because that's no fun at all ::hugs you::

It was quite a morning. *g* Soon fixed though and no plumbers involved, curtains are clean, the cat came back - thanks for the hugs though, can always use a hug, I shall put them away somewhere safe for when I need them again.

This is the second time this week I've met 'stropped off' as an expression, and I have to say I like it, even it's not fun for those stropping off. :-)

lol. I've never heard it before, it just popped into my head as the most apt description for my mood and demeanour at the time.

Ooh yuk. I hope things improved during the day for you and it's all been not too expensive to sort out.
