Bad things come in 3's? Well I'm done for a while then.
1) I have footprints in my bonnet - YAY! 2) They've started doing roadworks on my route to work - not a big problem? Wrong! As they've closed the entire road for 3 months I now have to add an hour @ 3mph to my trip to work - in a car that overheats since the footprints have appeared in the bonnet... 3) About an hour ago - playing Mario Kart on the Wii.... Room is nice and warm and I've got a nice cup of posh Assam and a cinnamon bun from Krispy Creme on the go. Then there's a pop and a hiss and the sound of dripping. The oil heater in the lounge has burst - sending hot, pressurised, oil vapour and droplets everywhere in the flat - and pissing it out over the floor. Kim's on the phone to the insurance people ast the moment - looks like we're going to need a new floor and probably replace all the soft furnishing in the lounge, bedroom and my playroom. Everything is covered in a film of oil - the floor is fun. Already fallen over once and smashed my head on the floor. Day off work for me tomorrow to clean this s**t up I think. Arse

It's managed to drop several litres of oil onto a wooden floor surprisingly quickly. It's buggered.
I really can't put another wooden floor down - I can barely kneel for long enough to do up a shoelace. Carpet it is then. ![]()

Surely you just have the insurance company pay someone else to put a wooden floor down for you.

I'd have thought that the insurance would cover the cost of doing any rebuilding work as well? It did when our kitchen got a bit flooded.

A bit flooded? Is that what you said to Mrs Feek on the phone?

Dunno - insurance people were apparently hopeless - Kim's going to try again tomorrow.
And here is the good reason why men should not be allowed in the kitchen. ![]() And why Huddy should not be allowed in the vicinity of a kitchen. ![]()
