We ordered a new washing machine with a connect & collect service. But this does not include the disconnect service. I think, "how hard can this be? We can do it ourselves."
Well, I do it all bass-ackwards and pull out the machine before I turn off the water. As I am moving the machine around to find where to turn off the water, I yank the hose and crack the connection and and water is spraying all over the place. Mr. K and I try to stem the tide, he is shouting, I am soaking wet...I tell him to call a plumber, he counters with "we should have called one to begin with!" Then the plumber he calls has on hold music for 5 minutes. I get him to hold the hose and I call the plumber...you get the general hilarity of the whole situation. All this from a washing machine that needed to be replaced because it leaked!
Anyway, in the midst of all the fun, my iPhone (in my hoodie pocket) dialled Legs Akimbo! Here is the text I got from her:
I am going to assume your phone decided to call me on its own. Sounds like you're in the middle of a mess. Hope things get sorted.
Now that it is all sorted, and I am waiting for delivery, I figure I have a great dinner party story! Unless of course, any of you are at the dinner party. Then I will need a new story!
