Okies i wrote a huge long spiel here yesterday went to save and got internal error...Did it again and got same thing so gave up...Was going to try it again last nite but i was too busy.
So the debacle with the bathroom continues on...On sat nite i put down more bin liners and towels...Just as well as on sun a massive drip appeared just in front of the loo...The bin liners were floating with water so i chucked a towel down to soak it up...Put a bucket under the new drip and by midday it was half full!!!!...Emptied it and by 5.30 it was again half full...Don't think the plumber the landlady was round with believed that but tough cos it's truth...So she'd come round with a plumber and he shut off the water upstairs, removed their toilet cistern and took it away to repair or replace...Now they were both supposed to be back yesterday evening about 8.30pm...No-one appeared so am not a happy bunny...My bathroom STINKS...That plumber said the wood would dry out and just need a coat of varnish!!!! Scuse me don't think so i want to have the walls tested for damp...G has asthma and goodness knows how badly the plaster has been affected...M refused point blank to go in the bathroom at all on sunday...I had to go in get facecloth to wash him with in the morning before playscheme and his deoderant for him to put on...He hadn't gone to the loo at playscheme either :o( ...Once this major big time drip slowed and came to an almost halt he finally went to the loo at 9.40pm on sun evening...So my son had not been to the toilet since before he went to bed on sat evening, almost 24 hours he hadn't been to the loo...I have just phoned my insurance...They are sending a specialist company out later today to check for damp etc...Fortunately my contents & buildings insurance has a no claims policy and my no claims is protected...Even though i had a claim 2 years ago it's still protected so my insurance won't go up :o) ...They will try and make a counterclaim against upstairs landlady...It is buildings insurance it will go through and as she is the owner then it's her responsibility...I just want my bathroom fixed and not stinking of damp...Better go put another load of towels on LOL...Although the drips have now stopped, finally, overnite the wood is clammy and yuk to touch.
So on to the car debacle LOL...Went round yesterday and nice garage man has a ford mondeo he is flogging me for £100 until he can find me a better car...They had to valet it out for me and get new tyres so am picking it up later today...I've been round with my documents and they will either scrap my old one or one of the mechanics wants it...So nice garage man is going to take the money i would get back from DVLA for my road tax off this other car...Saves me filling in yet more paperwork...This mondeo is road taxed for 2½ months and MOT'd for 3 months...So hopefully by then he'll have found a better car...Or this one may be alright and not need much doing at MOT time.
Oh and you know how things come in three's...Well K phoned last nite from A&E again...Her right wrist had made a really loud, painful cracking noise at tea time...Her fingers and thumb were all numb...So they went to A&E at 6pm...She got X rayed at 8.30 and didn't get seen again by a doctor until about 11.30...He said they can't see anything broken and not sure what is wrong...They tried to say the numbness was because she'd been waiting in their so long...They wouldn't listen to her when she said the reason she'd gone there was BECAUSE they were all numb DUH!!!...She also explained she broke that wrist 7 years ago and it took 2 weeks for the break to show on X rays...She got told to come back if it didn't improve and they put a tubigrip on it...Hmmm she's home at weekend, think our GP up here will be getting a visit on mon LOL...Last time it was the scafoid (sp) bone she broke...It's a small bone leading from wrist up to the thumb...It's very hard to spot a break in it...I remember David Beckham broke same bone not long after K broke hers and he'd same trouble LOL.

Hi Caff, Poor you, it must be dreadful what with that bathroom. I thought it would have been all over since the last time I read your journal before the weekend, I think. I really feel for K, Jim broke his scaffoid at 21 had and no end of problems. His didn`t heal properly and he has arthritis in it now, it`s unbelievable how such a small bone can cause so many problems. I`m glad about the car, that`s one less thing to worry about for now.Take care. :o)
Love Sandra xxxxx
Oh no, what a time you are having
No no no, it took two weeks for the doctors to notice the break on x-rays. Whereas you noticed it on the first set I had done when I went in.....
