Up shit creek without a plunger
Our toilet is blocked at the moment… not nice. We have informed the real estate but as usual nothing had been done about it. I got fed up with the blockage and went into the shed to bring in the big guns, the plunger! That will take care of it or so I thought. Picture this, here I was plunger in the toilet plunging up and down, up and down, up and down then “pop”. I fell backwards with only the handle of the plunger in my hand. Oh no, oh don’t tell me..yes the plunger head was firmly stuck to the bottom of the bowl. I poked and prodded the head with my plunger handle but the stubborn thing wouldn’t budge. Ok time to get the rubber gloves involved, naturally I chose my husbands gloves for this dirty job. My gloved hand slipped into the toilet (I was praying at this moment that the gloves didn’t have a hole in them) I reached down and pulled the plunger head off the bottom. Success! Well not really since the toilet was still blocked and all I had done with the plunger was add big black rubber streak marks to the toilet. With only one toilet in the house and a blocked one at that I fear “floaties” are going to be a common occurrence.
