Look Mum a tid - all wave!

OMG would you believe I let the lads have a bath tonight which is a real treat in our house as they usually shower. About once or twice a fortnight they have a bath. Now while showering saves hot water and therefore money it's more about the water saving in general that encourages me to shower them. And with 2 boys who are slow to toilet train at night we often need showers in the morning. No time for a bath then.

Well went in to get Mr8 out and there was water all over the floor and into the adjoining toilet. They were supposedly making tid - all waves. What? Ah tidal waves. And all over the floor. Hmmm put on my cross face while cleaning it up but at the same time couldn't help but think, what kid hasn't splashed all the water from the bath while having fun?

So that was mini disaster number 2 for the evening. The first was a little more of a problem but still not that big a deal. Went to turn on the telly to watch the evening news and see how bad the flooding was around the country and it has gone kaput! Well it is 10 years old and since becoming a single parent does get watched quite a bit so it's not really a big surprise. It's not the end of the world though and it won't blow the budget because I have another 29 inch old telly that was headed to the dump sitting out in the sleepout. And there is one in my bedroom which I will head to bed to watch shortly and see the forecast for tomorrow. We have a busy few days ahead and I think we can make it until Sunday before no telly in the lounge becomes a hassle so I'll catch up with a friend and see if we can make a time to move this old beast out and the new beast in. And in the mean time I may need a fund for a new telly. Will need to toss the old ones soon anyway as no HD in this house means they won't work effectively after 2012 anyway.

Oh and by the way - it's still raining!
