Hot and wet!

Having some great Spring type weather over here at the moment, it got to a mighty 16C today, which was not much use to me as I was stuck indoors all day in my windowless box that I call work. Inside has always been colder than the outside but the people who control the boilers for all the units around including ours decided to turn of the heating today, the penny pinching bastards to save them a few pounds, whereas we are still paying the rent for the place they decide if we have heating or not!

Minor disaster in the Mr-Stu household last night. Mrs Stu, was out doing something with work so I thought great, kids to bed and a few beers and then a movie. So little g was having a shower and when I came down to sort Little H for his bed I walked into the kitchen to find a pond in the kitchen, first thought was the shower was leaking somewhere so examining the ceiling to see where the waterfall was coming from there wasn't any. Turning then to the next logical source of leakage it turned out to be the washing machine! When I had loaded the washing machine, doing my good deed for the day, with Mrs Stu's and Little G's karate suits I had not put them in correctly and had left one of the tie cords hanging out which broke the seal around the door. So while I had been sorting things out with the kids the water had been running out from the machine across the floor, I then found out the kitchen has a very slight slope so that the water ran across the floor and under the fridge/freezer! So while trying to get all this mopped up, with water pouring out of the machine, the cat decided this is a great game we are playing and to attack the mop which he took a dislike to. Anyway everything got sorted in the end.  The washing machine still works again, the fridge is back in it's place after being shifted out and put back. The cat finished second best to the mop after he found out he gets wet. I lost my Mr Stu time and I have to buy Mrs Stu a new karate suit after the tie cord tore off damaging her suit. Roll on weekend!
