Oh Woe is me.
My list of woes seems to include leaks at the moment. The car was leaking oil and so I took it the garage over the road on Thursday. It’s been awaiting parts since then and fixing it will wipe out all my savings.
The other leak involved the shower at home. It’s leaking through the floor and causing problems. This bathroom has caused nothing but problems since we moved in. We originally thought it was the shower having some kind of rotten seal. It turns out the leak is coming from the shower flow control itself. Normally it would cost a fortune to get a plumber in to sort it. However, the car saw to that so I'm learing DIY Plumbing fast.
The third leak is from my eyes. I don’t know how but my eyes are constantly watering. I know I’m using my old glasses for the last few months and I’m wondering if that’s causing the problem. There’s green gunk coming out of them every now and again which implies I’ve got an eye infection. But I’ve got no spare cash to go to the optician for a new pair (see the point about the car).
All this on top of the little sleep I’m getting due to the nightly feeds, the difficulties with the game and the usual tension between myself and LSW, and I haven’t even started with work yet.
On the positive side, we’re still ok financially. But it’s a close thing. LSW Maternity pay has run out and I’ve got to cover the bills for this month, with one last large payment for the car still outstanding. It wouldn’t be so bad if the maternity pay had run out next month instead. At least all the Christmas shopping is out of the way.
