I’m knackered, last night was a nightmare.
I got home at 10 to find what I thought was bees swarming over a step leading up to the house, so started stressing how to deal with it.
Went to bed after 11 to hear what I thought was bees buzzing in the bathroom. Then realised it wasn’tbuzzing but the down stairs toilet over flowing, as a pipe in the cistern was leaking.
So I tried turning the isolation valve/tap but it was seized solid. So I went to turned the mains water off in the garage, and jumped past the bees. But couldn’t get to the tap as my housemates car was parked in the way and he’s away for the weekend.
So tried tightening the valve in the toilet, then it broke completely with no means of turning the water off. Luckily my brother in law’s a plumber, so called him whilst bailing out water and flushing the toilet. He couldn’t come as he’s van had broken down. So I started hyperventilating at that point, as I was stuck.
Bro in law jumped in a cab at 12:30, and got here at gone 1 costing £40 for a cab, which was the longest half hour ever. He managed to isolate the valve with brute force…
Then back to the bees, they weren’t bees but wasps. Jumped past them again and drove my bro in law home. Got back at gone 3.
Still need to deal with the wasps.
