There is nothing worse than a blocked toilet - especially over a weekend. So when I noticed last night that the bowl was filling up to the top and taking ages to empty after flushing I did what most Kiwis would do - lots of plunging! Usually that works but not this time ... so instead of my usual Friday morning sleep in, I was up before 8am ringing plumbers. Thankfully I found one very quickly and now (at 8.57am) he has now been and gone and everything is working as it should be. Disaster averted. I was hoping I wouldn't have to knock on neighbour's doors when natured called :)
Last week I had to get my brakes repaired - something to do with feet (or was that shoes or heels?). That cost a lot of money! The mechanic said something about steel on steel so I had better pay a bit more attention to those strange car noises you hear from time to time. LOL
They say things come in threes but I am going to break that cycle. No more please.
I want to do a bit more Christmas shopping today. I am mostly organised but there are a few things still to do. All the grandchildren are finished and I have even started wrapping - what a nice feeling. Most of the gifts will be opened before Christmas as this is my "off" year when everyone goes to the in-laws for the celebrations. It will just be me, Hannah, Ari and Cyrus here this year. We will do something special.
Well, up early so may as well do something useful. More later...
