Sorry about this _ I just have to rant to someone and my usual have-a-rant-to friends are all uncontactable for various reasons.
Today has been awful. DD has not napped properly at all (most unusual) and has been hungry all day. Have spent most of today feeding her or trying to coax her to sleep.
Also we've had a bit of a drain problem for a while now. Our house was designed by an idiot, who decided to route the sewage of 5 other houses though our basement. There is now a total blockage in the pipe that leaves our house. There was a semi-blockage before, we had the truck out and everything (after a long struggle trying to find the access point which was buried, not marked and totally not where the plan said it should be). They didn't fix it, but they did temporarily clear it. They said they could only fix it if we found the next access point (and there isn't one). Argggh!
Anyway the long and short of it is that we now have a very smelly pond in our garden, while we're waiting for the landlady to return. I shouldn't have agreed to wait, but now the problem is worse and we can't contact her, not to mention that we don't know who to call in anyway. Today the level of water (from 5 houses) was so high I had to syphon it off into the valley behind our house to avoid it contaminating the swimming pool. I am at a complete loss.
