We have a leak!

[Goofyish]

DD just ran in from the kitchen and said the dog had wee'd on the floor!

On investigating the pool of water we realised it wasn't dog wee but clean water coming from under the sink
Our mains stop tap is leaking, and it looks like it's been leaking for quite a while. It was panic stations then - what do you do at 10pm on a Saturday evening with a leaky stop tap!!!!

First thought was to ring an emergency plumber - so out came the Yellow Pages. Trouble is they all sound dodgy! We called one that looked OK with local water board approvals etc. and they wanted £88 an hour
Then I remembered we had a telephone help line with our house insurance, so we tried that and they are getting a plumber to us in the morning. Thankfully the leak is only a drip (at the moment!).

Oo er, Tim. Hope you get it sorted in the morning.

Hope you're not on a water meter. Our friends have not bothered to fix their dripping taps (kitchen and bathroom) since they moved into the house a year ago (OMG dripping taps would drive me up the wall) and are on a meter and are totally shocked by how much their bill has come in

Is it all sorted now Tim?

Hope everything is sorted now.

Fingers crossed that the plumber has been and sorted it out Tim!

I know what you mean about the water meter Mrs Dazzle! But what really shocked me when I got one was was the huge amount of money over the years I had paid on my rates compared to the small amount I pay now I have a meter. We save almost £400 per year now!

This wouldn't be your DIY bathroom, would it?

No, nothing to do with my bathroom Olaf - have you no faith in me
