Sat in the dark....slowly turning into my mother??
Ok, so I woke up today at 11am.....thought shit, gotta stop waking up after 10....im wasting my free holiday...It was pissing down, so at least I hadn't missed much....
I got up and went downstairs to turn the heating up....then decided I'd go to the toilet down there, saves me running back up, then back down again....the bathroom lightbulb was gone....'shit' I thought....'peeing in the dark this morning then' (as the windows right next to a tree, which pretty much starves you of light....Im glad im not a man, if you get my drift)
I went back upstairs with the company of a kitkat, a drink, and a few dog biscuits (not for me, you understand)...and put the TV and light on....no response....
'shit the electrics off'....went to ring mum.....
'shit the phones dead'.....went to use my mobile....
'shit no credit'....so I got dressed to go and get some
'shit im on 3 (fuck trying to find credit for that may aswell keep what little body heat I have left....it's a lost cause) '
So I sat, waiting for my mobile to ring....I even took it off silent so I could here it if it rang whilst I was having too much fun (freezing in the dark)...
Mum rang about 3.45.....and I started explaining the story to her....to which she replied 'hmmmmm, is the dog in Kate, I only rang to check if I let the dog in this morning, only it's very cold outside' (Yes mum, it's very fucking cold inside too, because of the aforementioned problems)...
Got off the phone...and thought
'I checked the trip switch box things earlier, I'll go and check them again, to kill time....because untill 9am tomorrow I'll have no daylight and nothing to do anyway, may aswell do it now, whilst I still have feeling in my arms'
So I went down, clambered 7ft into the air on kitchen cabinets et al.....opened its little pine door, and peered in....all the switches were facing the same way.....yes....checked the random other switches ....stumbled.....hit a switch, and the dishwasher, the washing machine, the fridge, the lights, everything.....magically came back to life.....the phone is electric, so that worked also.....
I feel like an absolute arsing pleb after sitting here waiting to die of frostbite at like 12pm....even had ski socks and my skiing jacket on...
The main switch never goes off though, when I rang mum back she said shes never ever had the main switch go off on it's own....quite an obvious thing to check....but then again not so obvious....especially seeing as though when it's 'on' it faces a different way to all the other switches when 'on'....??
Either way, I think I'm beginning to turn into my mother.....the intelligent fool with no bearing of common sense.....I'll be using my hairdryer in the shower soon, no doubt
