Last night, when I washed up, the worktop was a bit wet. I thought it must have come off the bottom of a pan and wiped it up with the tea-cloth.

Thought no more of it until we got up this morning and there was water dripping through the kitchen ceiling. OH put a bucket under it and I turned off the rising main. We had our breakfast and rang the housing association who wanted to know the ins and outs of the proverbial before sending out the emergency plumber.

Along he came and went off upstairs to the bathroom where I thought it was the pipe to the basin leaking. But that it was!

He looked at all sorts of areas and could not decide what it was so he took up a floorboard and I was pleased I had not finished sanding and varnishing them.

There it was, the pool of sewage leaking from the crack in the pan!

The bucket is still collecting the drips now the water supply has been disconnected to the pan and the cereal packets are binned. Now the worktop is washed down with bleach and the tea towels are being boiled.

Please let this be the last disaster for a while!

When I hear of a disaster like this, I'm glad my loo is downstairs :-S

I am just glad I have not bought it.

If that was me, I'd burn the tea towels.

Much safer than boiling.

Well, that has made e look a mucky little grub.

I shouldn't worry, Sharon - the drip is only yours and OH's :-D
Boiling will be fine!

There is always somebody who has to impress upon you how much more particular they are.

None of us wants to suffer a repeat of 'The Black Death'.

Which has what relevance to this thread exactly?

I will say that you are perfectly correct that nobody does want an outbreak of the Black Death though.

Sewage-soaked tea towels! :-0

Got that.

What dors it have to do with Black Death?

There is no escape from the dull futility of death whether it be 'black or white'.

Can't argue with that either.

At least you hadn't just cooked something for the old people :-D

Soooooooooooooooo

why have the OP and Caroline's post of 15:55 been RR'd????????

what have the 2 of you been up to.


The OP certainly was RR-worthy ......... so was it Caroline's fault? :-D

Dermot .........


........ don't be so daft with your tales of Black Death.

That has NOTHING to do with this thread.

The Black Death would not be caught from sewage, so Sharron and OH were/are in no danger.

Amazing! A comment about a leaky loo has been RR'd.
Obviously, the culprit who reported it doesn't actually use a loo - they eject unicorn rainbows, and their farts smell of roses! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

that seems to be the quickest re instatement yet, rr'd an returned, while i slept!!!

I have always said to people that I have something in my bathroom that they don't, meaning my picture rail.

Now I have a little slurry lagoon as well.

We have flies today!

Dettol Surface Cleanser Wipes kill 99.9% of Bacteria.

Much better than smelly tea towels - boiled or otherwise.
