Will this saga ever end I ask myself? You will remember the housework disaster last SATURDAY and the fact that my upstairs neighbour had a flood all over my walls and kitchen floor and you remember that this second disaster also happened on SATURDAY? The reason I stress this is because today is WEDNESDAY and when I came home tonight after another stressful day at work, I walked into the kitchen and was faced with a Purple Puddle seeping out from under my freezer.
On investigation I discovered that somehow (presumably while my once stark naked neighbour was washing up my floor) he had caught the plug and pulled it a quarter of an inch out of its socket. So, therefore over the last four days, the freezer has defrosted. (The Purple Puddle was several pounds of blackberries). I opened it up and emptied everything into the bin and took it outside to the wheelies and dumped it. I then returned, got down on my hands and knees with old towels and bleach and washed up the kitchen floor. Again. This is the floor that has now been washed three times in five days.
An icy cool detachment has descended upon me. I am making a cup of tea and going to bed. I don't care any more.
