I am now so shiny and happy after a bit of a dodgy week. I wouldn't go as far as saying stressfull ,cos if ever there's a word thats over worked these days, it's that one. Stress used to mean a serious problem that needed intervention from the medical fraternity, now it means some lilly livered whinger has made a hole in their slice of bread when they were buttering it, or some equally piss poor reason to claim...I'm stressed. Why .......
anyways....
I've had a week off this week, so I'm thinking, my partner in crime doesn't see much of me, so I will fore go my normal modus operandi for buckshee holidays, which is golf, golf, with a bit of golf thrown in and stay around the home taking care of those little jobs she has been wanting done.
First thing Monday......."Right my little bog brush what do you want me to do"
"I want the bath raised by three inches, it's too low, I don't feel comfortable in it"
"This is the bath that was fitted a few months ago at a stupid amount of pounds, why didn't you get the plumber to put it at the right height then"
"I had him put it at the same height as the last one, so it sat back under the tiles ,but the depth must be different cos now my head is level with the door handle"
"So"
"So I don't feel comfortable sitting that low, it's like sitting in a formula one car"
"You've never sat in a formula one car, so how would you know"
"Well I don't ,but I can only imagine that if you filled a formula one car up with water and sat in it, then it would be like sitting in our bath"
"what the fuck are you on about? weve got taps and a shower attached to one end if you hadn't noticed and with the best will in the world, I don't think we are gonna see Jenson Button screaming round Brands Hatch, with a Lefroy Brooks, imitation, victorian shower and mixer tap set, welded onto his motor!""
"I know that, but is it possible to raise the bath?"
"Yes it's possible, but it aint a 5 minute job. I will have to alter the waste and the feed pipes, take off the bottom row of tiles without breaking the others above them. Move the shower up, all in all, it aint something I fancy doing"
Now to cut a long story very short, three poxy days I've spent under that bath, what with all the various alterations to pipe work, tiles, bath panels, etc, three long arduous days of working in tight corners and impossible angles, I'm fucking sure that real plumbers go get their arms broken every six weeks just so they can bend em here there and everywhere. The job has been a pig. If I had known what was gonna be involved there is no way I would have started it and she would have had to make do with sitting in a racing car type bath.
So yes I did get a bit uppity this week, but now all is calm, all is serene and now that her head is level with the lip of the basin instead of the door handle, all is satisfactory. We are indeed smiley, shiny people.
Sex God

I turned around, and there it was - GONE :shock:
