and most people aren't happy unless they've got something to moan about. 

But oddy enough apparently we are now the 10th most happy nation.

Oh dear. I never thought that the simple mention of the humble brussell sprout would cause such a reaction

I finished mine 3 years ago when I got married. How does the saying go? You don't have a dog and bark yourself

We shop separately for our own families, plus I love it anyway

I was out in the garden last night and I noticed that some of the brick wall of the house was green.  After inspecting inside the house today it seems that the 'new' bath tap had been leaking for about six months, dripping onto the waste pipe and travelling into the cavity wall where it's been soaking into the brickwork.   The cement is as soft as a bag of sugar - about 1 metre wide by three metres.

I tried calling the plumber who fitted it but it went straight to answerphone, so he must be on holiday or out for the day.  So, I fixed the leak myself.  Then I discovered that the bath waste was dripping. :'(  I started to lightly tighten the screw, and the cheap plastic bracket broke.   No baths and showers for us tonight, and a trip to B&Q tomorrow.

If I dare mention there is a bright side to your leaks  , once you get them stopped at least we are having warmer weather so hopefully it will dry out quickly

You have my sympathies! A few weeks back -- when we had rather a cold snap -- the power went out, and it was almost a day and a half before things were working again. No electricity meant no heating save the coal fireplace, and showers were limited to horrible cold things I never want to repeat again!!!

Even further back, last year in fact, a minor tweak to my central heating (the fitting of thermostatic valves to half a dozen radiators) ended up with me entire central heating system being worked upon across ten days, albeit not consecutive days. Rewiring, fixes to the overflow tank, boiler pumps and circuit boards. In the end cost a bit over £800. Money well spent to be fair -- my central heating had not been working properly for years, and my DIY skills with pumps and wiring is adequate to get things working again, but not exactly textbook safe!
