...to my day! Relaxation in the garden was my plan for this morning - well relaxation gardening I ought to say, giggle! Hmmm so far I haven't managed to set foot in it.
Late last week my darling Mum (85) was browbeaten into changing her telephone account to a different company. When I say browbeaten - she was talked AT for around 30 minutes while she strained to understand their accent and eventually she just agreed to whatever they were offering to get rid of them. Bless her heart, she's not good at just saying NO GO AWAY (unlike me!). Long story short my sister and I have managed to sort it between us but not before I had a rather starchy conversation with the Origin Communications people. The line was terrible and their accents just as bad, crikey!!
Re our drainage situation, the plumber has just left after assuring me it is not a drain problem but possibly a septic tank one. Ermmm there was a stick REALLY stuck in the outlet pipe (air pipe), at least 60cm down judging by the evidence on the stick..ewww won't go there! If we have the same problem happening in a couple of days we need to get our dear old septic tank cleaned even though it was only done just over a year ago. The plumber was so helpful and we did need him to confirm it wasn't the drain.
So my day starts now at 11am!! - I must put the dishwasher on and then get out into the garden. Big smiles...
