Challenge packed away for another year...

and I should be having a lovely time congratulating the winners with their amazing results, reading all the reviews and enjoying the whole afterglow thing.  Instead, I'm up to my knees in ...  No, I'll put this more politely, if possible.  This Victorian house is showing her age in the drainage department, and we're stuck with running up to my mother's for personal washing, and avoiding ... well, no more details needed, I'm sure!  Having behaved perfectly for a year, it seems unkind in the extreme that it had to happen in the middle of Y.D.'s Leaving Cert.  (Horrendously long day tomorrow, with her most important exam in the afternoon, so good thoughts would be appreciated again!)

I'll catch up on LJ and blogs, including other challenge participants' when and if I get this sorted.  And my left eye stops twitching constantly...

Sympathies on the drainage problem. Back in 2005 we had to replace our entire sewer line from house to sidewalk, thanks to a very invasive tree in our front yard that had poked its roots into the old-style clay pipe and thoroughly destroyed it. Until we got the new PVC pipe installed, things were rather interesting in a not-very-nice way.

Oh, ouch! And couldn't we definitely live without that type of interesting! Stupid tree...
