Happy New Year everyone!
Blwyddyn Newydd dda in Welsh!
It's a miserable day again today. So no change there!
Syd is having a stupid day!
The top drainer of our sink is blocked. NOT the actual sink! Just the top bit on the drainer! I got the drain unblocker out for him to use. So he brings down a bent coat hanger and starts poking it down the sink! Not the drain on the drainer! There's a strainer in the sink to stop it from getting blocked. All he needs to do is open the drain unblocker and pour a little bit of it down the drain on the drainer! But no, he sticks a coat hanger down the sink! How stupid can you be!
And, I don't know what he's done now, but apparently he's caused a flood in the cupboard. IDIOT! What a way to start the new year! Start as you mean to carry on! FOOL! What is he playing at?!
Anyway, I'm watching the New Year's Day concert from Vienna to try and calm me down! Plenty of Strauss being played.
How's your new year going so far?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

Not a good start to the New Year in your house. I got to talk briefly to my husband yesterday; so it was a decent day. Have a good one.

Happy New Year ! You should have called a plumber to fix it.

Blwyddyn Newydd dda. Not my job. It's Syd's job to call a plumber. He's the one paying. But he's too tight for that!

No. Not really. I recently created an Instagram account just so I could follow Wynne Evans. On Dec 31 I got an email to say my Instagram account had been suspended because it didn't comply with their policy on community standards and integrity! It said if you think we've made a mistake you can appeal. So I appealed and I got my 6 digit code by email. Then I had to enter my phone number and then I got a text with another 6 digit code. Then it says, Your account does comply with our policy on community standards and integrity. Sorry for any inconvenience!
But then, yesterday, IT DID IT AGAIN! I haven't done anything about it again yet, but if this happens again I'm going to just give up!

You were very feisty, and I appreciate that in a person! But it’s frustrating when someone won’t listen when they are making the situation worse, I understand.
Happy New Year! It is a few minutes until January 2nd, so I’ll still say Happy New Year until January 1st is over.

Yes, he did make the situation worse. As he was poking the bent coat hanger down the sink drainer, he dislodged the pipe that's underneath which connects the sink drainer with the main sink, and that's why it was leaking into the cupboard! No, my Mum and Syd never listen to me.
Blwyddyn Newydd dda. I say Happy New Year until January is over!
