Shower Scenes..
The geyser is …

So there I am last night, cautiously eyeing out the shower with trepidation.. this is promising to be horrendously cold to say the least. SexyG watches me undress and enter the shower, I can already hear the giggles escaping from him..I am not amused by this. I flip him the bird and he promptly seats himself in the bathroom for what he must consider live entertainment! ( I am surprised he didn’t have popcorn with him…)
I point the shower rose towards the wall to try and acclimatise myself but I should’ve known that no amount of acclimatisation can prepare me for the onslaught of a COLD SHOWER!
I am scarred by this experience and don’t really want to regail the whole thing due to the trauma attached, but I can tell you there was crying, hysterical crying in fact with the sound only slightly superseded by the roar of laughter from SexyG as he watched me trying desperately to rinse off the thick showergel from my torso only to shriek each time it touched me.. After what felt like hours I threw myself from the shower exhausted and found SexyG smiling from cheek to cheek with a big fluffy towel to dry me and warm me up..
I.CAN.NOT.DO.THIS.AGAIN.
But a replacement geyser cost runs to over R5000 with installation! Where, oh where does a person find money to do this kinda thing as quickly as possible? I budget and plan for things.. and if there is no money I don’t do it.. but in a situation like this?!?! There is just no other way but to sell a kidney… I will miss it, terribly…

Do you own the property? Have a home loan? If so you will almost certainly have homeowners insurance. Those policies cover geyser replacement and you will only have to pay an excess of R500 or so. Dig out your policy and see who to call.

Steve Crane – I am renting..and the landlady wont fix it.. so its cold showers if i dont replace it myself.
OH NO! There is nothing worse than a cold shower
I totally hear you on the finding the money thing!!!
omg thats horrendous… i have nightmares about cold water!!!
angel’s last blog post..LOL and ADD…
I thought the landlord is obligated to fix/replace geysers!?!? well that sucks. Do you have a bath? heat water up in your kettle….
If you have a bath, there is a better option for heating water than a kettle. I’ve seen, in Game, plastic buckets holding perhaps 20litres that have an electric element and a tap fitted. Obviously designed for low-cost dwellings, one might just do the trick for heating bath water until you get something more permanent sorted out.
