Well some things in this world we just take for granted...like washing machines, dishwashers, showers, baths, hot water, running water, or in my case any water...

Our hot water service died last weekend, i didnt realise when i hoped in the bath saturday night that the lack of hot water wasnt due to five teenagers in the house..No..But when sunday night came and everyone was complaining of no hot water i thought something was up..So a phone call late Sunday let us know that due to ekka show day on monday noone could get out to look at it..So darling man of the house thought he could fix the leak....Yay!!! Well we thought the handy man had fixed the problem till we had no water!!!! Yes his fix it up job on the hot water system had caused a small explosion in the side causing all the hot water, in fact any water to pour out into the garden. So water was turned off at the mains...No water sunday , now no water monday..Tuesday morning turn on water for one hour, no hot water but at least running water..Daughter is disgusted and stays at boyfriends, eldest boys also stay at friends. Guy who was to deliver water system doesnt turn up on tuesday...so no hot water tuesday.. Mean while washing is pilling up, dishes are too, jack is using the sink with kettle to boil water...lol takeaway is looking good just use the wraping it comes in..Wednesday, cant contact the guy delivering said already paid for hot water system...Thursday, starting to feel like perhaps we all smell, talcum powder and deodorant not cutting it,,havnt seen teenage kids in days, jack hates the tiny sink and ive lost the laundry and kitchen sink....Finally hot water system arrives with many appologies....yeh right mate just hook it up...

Friday morning very early still no hot water grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! what now..Call an electrician, arrange to come out around lunch...

cold morning head into shower, outside temperature 6 degrees shower temp...bloody freezing..wash hair very quickly go to work , pray for a miracle. come home

HOT WATER!!!!!!!!

i will never take it for granted again, as i plow into the laundry taking deep breathes as i dive under in search of washing machine.

And here is some scrapping ive been doing whilst having no showers...

Well its been a while..life is just speeding by....where do the days go?
On the home front.....Recently my darling daughter had us all wondering how she will survive once she leaves home..One morning last week i heard her scream from the laundry...
"Mum come quick! Jack has just put a glass of water in the washing machine"....
Hmmm i thought...."Well just pick out the cup"...
No she yells back he just tipped the water in"...
Ok no problem.."Are there any clothes in there to be washed i yell back?"
Yes comes the reply,,,but he poured water in the machine, and its not on! came her reply.. "tHATS OK JUST TURN ON THE MACHINE, A BIT OF WATER WANT HURT"..I YELL BACK AS I GET UP TO GO AND SEE WHATS THE Problem...
And from the depths of the laundry comes a scared voice.."but what if it blows up?...
" What i laugh as i catch her peering into the machine..
"It might blow up now, he put water in it and its not on."
...Ummm sweetheart i answer as serious as i can be..its a washing machine, you put water in it to wash clothes, thats what it does, uses water...she stood staring at me....then on came the light..oh yeh..hahahaha, silly me....
Hmmmmmm watch out world, here comes my daughter..lol
