Toilet Triumph!
Oct. 20th, 2013 11:54 pm10:32pm: Although I did have to go up to the local hardware shop here in Newtown with the actually flushing part of the toilet because the washer I got didn't fit, do'h! As a matter of fact I found out from the handyman at the shop that the company that made my toilet no longer exists which explains why looking up what washer I needed to get on Google wasn't getting me any results. But! Fortunately the handyman found a washer that fit it, hooray!
However, the drama wasn't over yet, I went to pay for the washer ($6) only to discover...I'd left my wallet back at the apartment! Well, son of a bitch, so I had to leave the toilet flushing bit there while I headed back, got the wallet (it must have fallen out of my bag when I took out my orthodics).
But it all worked out and now there is blessed sound of silence from the bathroom, no more running water! Praise the Lord! Although it'll be quite a while until I see if it makes all that much difference to my water bill. Since it seems to be based on water usage for the whole building, I'm not sure how that works out.
Now I must remember to call Grandpa and tell him this exciting news, hopefully he'll be proud to hear about my success :O) the grandparents often mention that I act way too immature for my age, so this should look good...I hope.
In other news I also have a new convection microwave oven! It's from Aldi and therefore very well priced and most shiny! The parental units came with me after we all went to the gym, to swap the old microwave oven with it. I mostly passed the clean apartment test, except for the fridge, which we all had to clean it out, although it mostly ended up being Dad because he has the magic cleaning touch.
Ah, the apartment kitchen is looking good indeed. Plus I washed my sheets so they're all nice and fresh, which is good because I have to go to bed soon. I just have to make it!
( Before I do that, Meme time! )
Right, best be off, though I did manage to make my bed during an add in Homes Under the Hammer, but that's over so to bed I go!
Goodnight all!
