Dear everyone

Well long time no posting. Lots of news here.. where were we…

Ok so last nightt I was reminded that trailer park living really isn’t all that its cracked up to be.

Night went like this:

1. Travel from hastings to napier to collect furry child with attachment disorder then load 5 bags of clotges and food into the car and drive 45 min south. Arrive after dark.

2. Remember upon arrival that the power had been playing up in the caravan last week.

3. Discover that the power is conspicuously absent from the caravan and the container…

4. Discover (in the dark) that the container power ia unplugged. .. lucky that only the fridge/freezer is feeding off that power !!!!! Aarggghhhhh

5. Reset main meter board . . . 6 times. This is best done by a 30 metre walk between the caravan and the main meter box to reset one then the other then back again , and again, and again etc etc etc until you do decide enough is enough and you admit defeat.

6. Throw food on bbq after cleaning off the mouse poo (anyone have a recipe for dead mice as I’m about to go postal on the ones who think that the bbq is a nice place to live)

7. Go to wash dishes, discover that the water is still not going. Go out in the dark again ( buying shares in torch and battery factory tomorrow), turn main hose line on and return to caravan to experience the wonder that is a tap line that hasn’t had water in it for over a week. The bloody thing spat and coughed up water further than I could throw which yes I know isn’t that far but it’s still a lot further than you want the water in your caravan to go. On the up side, the walls and ceiling have now had a wipe down.

8. Run water for 10 min to try and get something that doesn’t look like a disprin has just been dissolved in it just so you can take the kettle and plug it in in the container so as you can have a cup of tea.

9. Return with now filled kettle to the container to discover that the LED torch light did in fact need to be charged. . . BIG SIGH.

So the moral of the story is:

a). Take up your mothers offer to have tea before you return home.

b). Don’t bother to keep anything in the fridge or freezer as it’s unlikely to atay cold or frozen

c). Don’t eat all the chocolate during the day at work as you might really need it later.

 

Later people.
