Bursting at the Seams
I recently had my hot water cylinder burst. Instead of having a hab-dab about it — I got on with boiling a kettle and doing the necessaries to carry on with my life (washing the bod and doing the dishes sort-of-thing).
The plumbers could only come out on the Monday and I had the weekend to look forward to with my new kettle-heating regime.
I actually had fun with it. I became outrageously grateful for having a kettle and running water. Even more gratitude flowed at the thought of a new, swanky hot water cylinder that was soon to be mine!
Give Yourself a Reason to be Happy
I also like the adage that things happen for a reason. When the plumbers left, they told us that they had to replace the pipes as they were not up to standard and would have created further problems.
I now have a new and working hot water system and it looks like we dodged a bullet that could've been an even bigger headache. I'm as pleased as punch.
