So much for my plumbing attempts on Thursday. When I had a shower on Friday morning, the water was spouting out of the cold water tap and I needed to get the plumber here to fix it. I got him to replace the tap I couldn't get at as well. I'm not sure of the cost yet but at least now they're all fixed. Maybe next time I'll just call the plumber first.
I've been doing quite a few little fix-it jobs around the house. I got a friend to fix a broken window in the front of the house, would you believe the kids were throwing water-balloons and one smashed a window? I also replaced a broken louvre in Alex's bedroom. This time I got the guy in the hardware shop to cut an extra one because they break so easily and so often that I'm always going in there to get another one cut.
I feel good about the all the work around the house getting done. Like tidying up the nest :)
Friday night they held the Touch Football grand final for Junee's local competition and Carly's team made it into the "A" grade final. Quite an achievement because they're all under 18. They lost when the game went to a drop-off (which is the first to score in extra time, and one person drops out at each turn-around of the ball). One of the other mothers and I were sitting at one corner of the field and the players came charging down the field to that corner and one of them trod on my foot. I have a very black middle toe now and it's so sore to walk. Not broken but very bruised. That'll teach me for sitting too close to the field.
It was so hot on Friday night that I had a few stubbies and paid for it yesterday with a pounding head and half a day wasted while I felt sorry for myself. Any wonder I don't drink very often, being sick the next day is a pretty good deterrent.
