Yesterday was a day for learning lessons.
We were having an issue with our upstairs toilet.
It has been leaking for a while.
Which is quite annoying as the toilets were replaced not so long ago in the refurbishment of the house.
So my Husband and I went off to the hardware store and plumbing supply centre as the builder that did the job was not answering his phone.
We got the parts which cost us just over $45 and came home to install.
Well...................... the toilet was faulty and it broke.
So we called a friend who is a plumber, but alas he also did not answer his phone.
The last port of call was my father.
The moral of the story is to not ask anyone for help.
My husband and I are always giving of our time, energy and money to everyone in our lives.
It seems that the same favor cannot be returned by people surrounding us.
This will not stop us giving of ourselves in the same manner, but we will be discerning in who we surround ourselves by and who we extend a helping hand to.
My stepson has grown into a beautiful caring young man that has his Father's nature.
He came over to help install the new $179 toilet by helping his father out.
I really should not call the kids my stepkids as I really look on both of them as my own son and daughter.
I guess I don't call them my children for fear of offending their mother and opening up a big can of worms. Maybe I should just not care and do what is in my heart..............................
So all up, this little household crisis exercise cost us $224.
All's well that ends well.
