We have had a bit of a plumbing drama, all the drains are blocked so I went to the hardware store and asked for sink and drain unblocker,I told my husband we should get the foaming stuff from the supermarket like what we use at home but he said get that from the hardware store so we poured it down the drain and OMG it started to burn the sink it was like really strong corrosive acid the whole sink area started steaming and it really stank
I thought it was going to blow up it was like the start of a fire I was staring in disbelief squeeling HELP S.O.S in my mind
it almost melted all the pipes they were getting real hot and melty looking, what the heck is this pleaseeeee don’t melt all the plumbing work in the house please please pleaseee how much would that cost? Anyway after about 3 hrs of struggle getting tools to lift the outdoor grid and moving everything and a few floods (Total grrrrrrrr argh f@@@@@@@ scenario ensuing here) and almost blowing everything up we decided it was not working wait til morning.WITS END WTF moment- can't cope wanna go to the popcaan show LOL, there's no ice cubes, I have not got a towel the kids are misbehaving the kitten is throwing up there are a few hundred dramas all happening at once I am backing up slowly into the bedroom to POUNCE on the bed after LOCKING THE DOOR! BAWLLLLLL lol
In the meantime I got caught WITH RUM ~ DAMN!
And I took the blame for my husband
I always get caught for things that other people are usually doing! Admittedly this time I did have one shot but it was just one single shot. I had mine with grape juice a tiny small single shot you could not even smell it and my husband was drinking a little bit of it but he can drink it straight so he had some straight.The rum came from our family as a present I thought I hid the last of our old bottle at the back of the kitchen late at night but someone saw it and saw it was finished and next day we get a present a discreet presentof course! They said not sure if you like this but happy new year ! happy newyear to you too woieeeee ( I love them.)My sis in law must have bought it for her grandson to give us

So we were just having one shot.So I sat down across the room from my mother in law and my husband was sat next to her but I thought his drink was gone and finished and not around anymore so she smells something and said A WHO GOT RUM? WEH DI RUM DEH?
(Weh di rum deh is a favourite saying of mine because the family always ask me it and when I am not in Jamaica and Ifeel like rum and fun and reggae I often say it, it’s just a saying that sticksin my head)
LOLOL
WEH DI RUM DEH? which means where is the rum? where is it
SHAGGY MOMENT it wasn’t me but she was waiting for an answerand smelling around LOL
So hubby blamed me and said it was me so I said meeesorry EEK world swallow me up and shegave a little smile so I thought whooo I have been let off and then my sneak ofa husband held up his empty glass behind her head and laughed.SOOOO not fair I took the blame so I said its him really look at his glass that is what you can smell but it was too late I had already taken the name and shame blame booooo
(I regularly take the blame for him it's so not fair )
so we had the tv on and there was a reggae music news programme on and we were told it was the day for no TV for my father in law who was at a prayer meeting,so my husband said he is not even here so he’s not sitting in all night in the dark with nothing to do he’s watching tv so his mother and his sister never said anything, so we were all watching the reggae tv programme and I had just been caught with the rum and the gate rattles LOL it’s his father so both women jump and say switch off the tv turn off the tv LOL but it was too late he walked in and saw the tv on and went on sat on his chair very solemly.
Even mother in law turned her head and gave a cute quick quiet chuckle and my sister in law couldn’t believe it.I do not think anybody has disobeyed that rule in over 50 years.
So father in law turns the other way away from the tv and mother in law turns with him in support so I said to hubby omg switch off the TV!!! some rules are okay to break but some make you feel awkwardddd.
Poor lil nephew that burger and icecream and all the other bits of food didn’t agree with him so good and his stomach was like a bubbling volcano which just made us women laugh all the more.It is so nice to watch my mother inlaw laugh she is around 90 years old and she is in pain a bit but she has always got time for a chuckle.If I am not in trouble LOL.
Husband snored all night I think I had 20 minutes sleep I was awake before morning praise and then it was back on to the drainage problem.Got more stuff to throw down there it all needs renewing and re-sealing I think so someone brought a hose to help and I think it is time to call a plumber.
Our family from Kingston who have been with us will leave today and we will be sad to see them go.We are about to go to see other family for our cook off and bass speaker party and we all helped to make a huge bowl of coleslaw to go with a big bag of goat that we will take down there.Can’t hardly wait for todays dinner.
Jerk chicken off the barrel is only 200j per piece here wowwwwww LET ME LIVE HERE Rum is 250j per bottle WOWWW let me live here.Meals at mothers are all under 400j for the children I can also get stew chicken and ackee and saltfish for 3-400j wowww LET ME LIVE HERE!
My son is officially in the morning tea drinking club and I promised mummy I will try it I got asked again today “yuh nah drink tea?” no“you MUST drink tea inna mawnin” every mawnin when yuh a get up YOU MUST DRAW TEA .So I will try some tomorrow as tea has already been drawn today.It is a mawning and night thing.
I am feeling a bit dirty today as the water pressure is not too good I do not think the drain issue is helping and I cannot do cold showers if there is just a trickle of cold water it will not wash my long thick knotty hair so it is like getting whipped with ice every time I try to wash my hair under a trickle in the cold.I am washing my body is small parts in small pieces at a time LOL
I cannot bear to stand in a cold shower, I would not mind if the weather was very hot maybe but even then I have been known to request warm water!
So I have to deal with my big birds nest knotty head very soon as we have to leave to go to a different town to get our cook swerve on!
-
Wow what an adventure! And I am right there with you on the cold showers...it's rough! Especially washing your hair with low water pressure!!! Time to go outside with some buckets of water and pour them over your head! lol.
