🀣🀣 the amount of kettles and shower heads I’ve got through since living here is ridiculous! πŸ˜†

*nods* m just buys cheap shower heads now cos they don’t last long and once you’ve descaled a kettle the water never tastes the same 🐢🐾😘

I've only ever descaled an iron and after nearly killing us both with the fumes i've never bothered again! The water isnt magical here, we are under United Utilities afterall, but its not got a slimy film on it like when I lived in Wolves. That made your tongue feel all furry 🀒

It was but I was a student in the early 90s so it was the very least of my accomodation problems! 🀣 Doing battle with the cockroaches, silverfish, dodgy wiring, unusual plumbing, carbon monoxide roulette, single glazing, scary cellar, interesting neighbours/hood etc etc....πŸ€ͺπŸ™ˆπŸ˜„ #happydays

Gosh and you survived! Mind you it sounds a bit like Uncle Ed’s student accommodation in Leicester. In one place he shared with medical students they must have been trying to make their own penicillin, even Ed bought disinfectant wipes cos it was so disgusting 🀒 😱🐢🐾😘

🀣🀣🀣 I dont even know if we had disinfectant wipes back then Billy! It was all 'character building'. We did survive, probably because we werent fully with it a lot of the time 🀫😜 Health and safety was a thing of the distant future back then. Growing your own penicillin sounds good though πŸ˜†

It was disgusting and they were training to be Drs 😱 and they kept burning holes in the carpet too. He was glad to move out of those digs. 🀣🀣🀣
