After my seed catalogues arrived today - exactly the same things from 2 different and well known suppliers are nearly £5 different.

One has the blackberries more expensive but the seeds and P&P cheaper and the other has the blackberries cheaper and some of the seeds and P&P more expensive.

I thought robbery was illegle.

I thought a sick bird was a parrot Snadge - now that's showing my age.

I take containers full of food to my daughter's house, but I never get the containers back!

Am I only allowed one rant? It's been a very 'rantful' day. Had argument with OH about me wanting an anthracite vertical radiator in the house and finished up having to pay half the cost to get my own way.
Went for some chips done in my daughters new skinny frier..........they were horrible, good job I didn't get OH one for Crimbo.
Setup new pedestal tap for new bath, joined hot and cold pipes under the floor. It wasn't until I put the top 'C' section on that irealised the the controls were at the back and the shower was at the front.
Makred on the wall downstairs where the new condensing boiler will go but realised I had to take a wooden latt out of the wall which used to be what the pipes fastened to when they went upstairs. Took the latt down but managed to pull half the wall down with it.

It was then that I realised that the lead water pipe coming into the house was leaking before it got to the stop tap.

Because my house is a semi, the water board in there infinite wisdom only made one feed to my house then on under the floor to next door.(idiots stuck a water meter where it leaves main as well.) To replace pipe with MDPE I will need to replace next doors as well.

Came home, threw bag of rubbish into bin and my car keys were in my hand at the time. Had to stand in a wheelbarow in the dark using my phone as a torch to find them.

Hope Potty looks at his, he can maybe shed some light on lead pipe repair!

Sorry for the length of post but it has been a bit of a shitty day!

Flipping colds and coughs! When is somebody going to find a cure?!

[noviceveggrower]

Next door neighbours son who threw a bucket of dirty water straight out last night. Shame he has thrown it on the shared path and part of our step. Seriously if he'd of take two more steps he could of chucked it down a drain.
So now its like a skating ring outside. Going out with the salt in a bit.

This is insane and reminds me of the loonacy about the houses at the top of our street- three fed through one pipe so when someone's got a tap on next door has no pressure. And the solution for those affected to have a new water pipe put on.
The pressure was ok until they changed the water pipes in the street and turned the pressure down.
Grr water companies!

#1250.

The water authority are responsible up to and including the boundary box, what the layman would call the stop cock in the street. After that the water service is purely the responsibility of the home owner.

You however have a 'shared water service' not unusual in older properties. The law dictates that the home owners are jointly reliable for its up keep, time to approach next door 'good luck'.

Rant Just getting over the bad cold, woke this morning bottom of leg very swollen, bright red, pustules weeping off to see Doc. Nice young Doc "That's not to bad Potty". .....Potty "Its not your bl--dy leg Doc"
