To add insult to injury….
So… Last night Coralie came round for dinner which was nice and she gave me gorgeous tea light/candle holders for Christmas which was very nice. Then I was on the phone to Lorraine for an hour and a half talking stuff out a bit+banter….
Then Fran came in, then i went to bed and couldn’t sleep so turned on the radio and reminded myself why I hate Richard Bacon. I swear the first line I heard was, ’so Matt, your mum shopped you to the police- tell me about it’ I mean what the hell is that at quarter to one on the radio… Sounds like Jeremy Kyle! Why is daytime tv on 5live at 12.45…? Why??
So, listened to ‘up all night’ for a bit….(until 3.30) and then heard what sounded like somebody having a shower so I got up to find out why the hell someone was having a shower at 3.30…. and I opened the bathroom door and…. you guessed it…. A leak….massive one! Bathroom flooded etc… So tried to turn off the water at the stop valve and couldn’t get it off cuz i’m weak and the pressure was 2 high…
Then the doorbell rang! Downstairs guy, who i now know is called Gerry had come up (in pjs and no shoes) to tell me, yup, water was coming through his ceiling… He managed to get the water off (in a big strong boy way) and we commenced the cleaning up. Then heard people talking in the hall and the neighbours below Gerry were out there… Yup, them to…
So, was up for another hour and a bit… went back to bed at 4.45, got up just after 7… haven’t really slept. Feel poo… plumber coming after lunch… to endear me to my neighbours I’m not liable for any of the damage to their property so they get to pay excess on the insurance less than 3 weeks before Christmas. Not to mention my mum having to pay excess 3 weeks before Christmas.
and there i was in the middle of it thinking… ‘What the hell? are you kidding? now?’
I do not fail to see the comedy in this situation.
