Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 21:07

nope.... were literally dismantling the kitchen to find it... as its leaking into someones place... we're having to break some of the unit to get to what we think is the leaking pipe...

OP posts:
Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 21:08

tortoise · 13/08/2006 21:33

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 21:46

OP posts:
tortoise · 13/08/2006 21:50

Hope it won't take long to get it fixed.You can still wipe the sink and keep it shining.

PMSL!!!! I like your priorities Tortoise....you are a true (cult) member!!!!!

Quootie...what's happening now?
Have you stopped the flow?
Sounds bad.

Just popped on the website and saw that the FLYwooman had a surprise the other day (or today even)..........she wants to know how many of us followers would like to order one of these for their children?
Stuff the children.....I want one myself!!!!!!

You can also give comments as this one is just the prototype!!!
how many will you order???!!!

mummy2ashton · 13/08/2006 22:19

oh bloody hell Quootiepie!!! what a disaster!! the same thing happened us not that long ago and we broke the cupboards trying to get to pipes behind them and it ended up that the leak was coming from the room beside our kitchen (utility). is that possible for your situation? hope you get it sorted soon. can you turn your water off for a bit to minimise damage until you find the leak?

tortoise · 13/08/2006 22:26

PMSL @ FLYlady doll!

coggy · 13/08/2006 22:29

.....but have you given it any feedback!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The boobs worry me!!! - could poke a kid's eye out!!!

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 22:30

Its when we run the tap... think its where waste water goes, so cant use washing machine either. The pipe goes down through the floor and into someones storage place, so im not sure whos leak it is, as it seems to be 1/2 way between their ceiling and our floor. DH is not a handy man by any means... so I have no idea what we'll do! DH is snoozing in his chair now so no clean kitchen tonight!

OP posts:
tortoise · 13/08/2006 22:31

Um no not given it feed back!
What can i say about it!
Listed a 5th item on ebay.

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 22:32

that doll is MAD!

OP posts:
coggy · 13/08/2006 22:34

What a pain for you Quootie - just as well your dh was there (even if he isn't handy) it's just nice to have someone else around in disasters.

You'll be able to get someone out first thing I guess.
Have you turned the water off like mummy2 said?

tortoise · 13/08/2006 22:34

Did anyone look at the extra pic on my link? Just shows where my prioritys(sp?) lay!

tortoise · 13/08/2006 22:35

Lol at dh snoozing in chair!

coggy · 13/08/2006 22:36

Aha! Now it all makes sense...with your name etc.

Not quite sure why Gromit has morphed into a tortoise though!!!!

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 22:37

its ok as long as we dont run the tap. I have no idea how much a plumber is gonna set us back!

OP posts:
tortoise · 13/08/2006 22:38

Lol! Thats just one shelf!I have another smaller wall shelf with 2 shelves of it full! Some in my bedroom too! I really want a real one

Quootiepie · 13/08/2006 22:39

ROFL @ "take it easy" how come you like tortoises so much?

OP posts:
tortoise · 13/08/2006 22:39

I would imagine a plummer won't be cheap unless he finds its not your problem but the other persons.
