My mum and dad have needed to have a new bathroom fitted in for a long while now. They’ve had a pretty bad leak for since I left home – three and a half years ago – and they have just never done anything about. Its all my dad’s fault that nothing had been done about it. My mum has been asking him since in the first initial leak started and do you know how he responded? “You’re having a shower wrong! When I have a shower it doesn’t leak!” So apparently, you can have a shower the right way, and you can have a shower the wrong way. News to me!

Anyway. My mum has text me not long ago saying that my dad has called a plumber out for Wednesday. I asked her whether it was about the bathroom but she hasn’t responded yet. I really hope it is. Dad has been talking about how much he wants a double walk in shower for a few months now and maybe he’s finally decided to get one fitted. Its going to be a big job because all the floorboards will need replacing because of the leak and they will probably re-tile the whole room while they’re at it. I think a trip to B&Q would be in order too to pick out the new American Standard toilet, sink, radiators and walk in shower.
