How did you spend your night? I spent mine
boiling the kettle 37 times to fill up a bath for D after football. This really
must be love.
Our effing hot water system has died and,
as renters, we are at the mercy of our real estate agent and their contracted
plumber to sort it out. Even though I called and emailed the real estate agent
at 9am on the dot to request an urgent repair, they didn’t send a plumber out
to the house to have a look until after 4pm. And then, of course, the useless
plumber couldn’t fix it, and needed to call someone else to come and assess it.
Tomorrow, obviously, as it was well past 5pm before he figured out he couldn't fix it. So now I have to go into the office tomorrow, having not
had a shower in three days. Thank goodness for max strength deodorant and dry
shampoo is all I can say. I’m sure my colleagues feel the same way.
The kids don’t care about being clean, so
they’re OK with this new no-bath arrangement, and, to be honest, there’s nothing
a packet of baby wipes can’t clean off those two (as long as I'm not serving spag bol for dinner). But there was no way D was
getting into our bed after a sweaty game of over 35’s football (soccer) without
some kind of ablution. Bless him, he did ask if I wanted to use the leftover lukewarm
bath water after him, but, as much as I love him, sharing recycled bath water
is not on my list of things to do as a married couple.
If the hot water is not fixed by tomorrow
evening I might need to start knocking on the neighbours’ doors with my towel and
shower puff in hand. That’s one way to get to know them better I suppose ;)
