VT's "Bog Seat" Challenge..

Well it is a long story cut short. We had a seat that was dodgy to say the least..we always meant to replace it, but that proved to be more difficult than we imagined. You would think that this piece of bathroom furniture was all the same. Not a bit of it! We originally had a nice wooden one, but the hinge went, so we got a black one..and the hinge went..so after a lot of searching around all the well known DIY stores we got a nice soft touch white one. This was wonderful. Looked nice and clean, worked well if a little spooky the way it closed..and then...the hinge went! VT said one day the seat has gone again! So he said today I am going out to get a new one..off he goes to Crosby and comes back with a reasonable white one..tries it for size, and it is too short. Leave it I say..No says he I am going to get one..so off he goes back to Homebase in formby, and comes back with the same type as a previous one (the soft touch one) only this is super improved Mark2 version with stronger hinges!!! Hoorah. It fits, and looks good. We shall see how long this one lasts. What is it with VT and bathrooms!
Horrible word Bog..I wonder where it comes from.
Well after lowering the tone of the blog..it has been a grey and rainy day here. beautiful Tomato and basil soup for lunch. Judging by the letter from John and Ann I bet that is not what they are having..42degrees there in Perth! Phew..
Tonight we are having:
Weightwatchers curry with Quorn pieces,
1/2 a Packet of rice,
Stir fry vegetables.
