Things are getting worse - send chocolate

I have seen a postcard with that sentence all the time I worked in the call centre, it always made me titter but it has never sounded more appropriate then at this point in my life!

Remember I told you about the toilet? The hanging/floating toilet as we call it here? Well.. Normally what happens is that there are big bolts in the wall and the rest of the toilet is supported by the wall behind the toilet.

In my last post you can clearly see where the toilet needs to go and how you see the saw marks of where they cut the wall out to be able to get to the pipes. Well.. the pipes are all done but the wall behind has suffered and as I have now found out not JUST the tiles.

See .. this is what happened to it after I used the toilet a few times.

I noticed a creaking sound before but the more I used it (and sorry, I like to SIT on my toilet) I felt I was sort of sliding off it because it started to press against the back wall and since that was only just cut out and glued back (supported behind it by only a small bit of wood) it is giving way!

Oh no... I had visions of it breaking off the wall and water spouting out everywhere so I thought of a workaround, that is the upside of working this long in BAC, you get REALLY good at workaronds!

So.. I don't mean to be rude but... I stuffed Simon Cowell under my toilet!!!

Step aside Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. Your 'life' sculpture could be worth millions!
