2025 so far feels months long and it's only mid Jan.

So my toilet broke again, the pipe connection for the drain broke again (same as last year), so when I flushed dirty water went everywhere. I'm disabled so that's means same day fix but could be anytime tween now n midnight for the guy to come fix it, and I need the loo and can't do until it's fixed. Can't use a neighbours either cos can't use stairs bits not the end of the world and it'll be fixed today so I'm lucky but still frustrating and uncomfortable. Hope I don't get a UTI from holding it in.

Plus the clean up job is gonna be a nightmare. Had to throw my slippers out but bathroom rugs are already in the washing machine but my washing machine has been on the frits lately so no idea if that's got long left in it either.

Jan is always a tough month money wise, I skipped groceries so I can get kids birthday gifts for the months ahead in the Jan sales, plus heating bills keep going up. Just feels like one thing after another.

Oh and irony of the loo breaking today when I've got a new one disability friendly one being fitted next week.

😡
