Tell you who/what I hate...

[Swan Red]

I'm stretching them out and there's reserves

[Earl Hafler]

I've had four cans of lager and a few gins since the pubs closed. 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I don't overthink this stuff, I just hit up what I want

 

It's a good guilt-free approach

[cymrococh]

Drank a bottle of wine with lunch yesterday and I didn't feel it at all. I'm definitely piling on the pounds in this sh*t so with healthy eating comes reduction in drinking.

Saying that I bought a 4-pack of Guinness and another 4 random beers yesterday.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

sadly to go off the topic of booze....

 

getting a plumber. Bath's blocked. Been like that for over 24 hours, tried to snake it, no good. So I can't wash or get a plumber to come out

Just the bath or drainage problems elsewhere?

If the bath isn't draining but toilet in the same bathroom is then it should really be something you can get to with the snake. If the toilet's also not draining (or draining slowly) then it might be your external drainage. If you know where your external drainage cover is, lift it and see if it's blocked there.

Had this happen to us last year and it turned out to be tree roots growing into the sewage pipe (blocking 5.5" of a 6" pipe). Had to get to roots high-pressure water-blasted away and get the sewer pipe re-lined. £3k worth of work - fortunately covered by the insurance.

I just wilted here. Gone 4 days without a drink and just went past Bargain Booze and came away with 6 bottles of nice IPAs and 8 cans of Red Striple. I'm f***ing useless at this. Quarantine is f***ing miles more manageable without a hangover.

Drain acid worth a try if the plumbers merchants are open.

It's the bath only (and sink) but it's f***ing yonks old so just cannot get the snake in past what must be a hard turn somewhere. 

It's standing water though - 3-4" so dumping Drano in there isn't that straightforward

Can you get to any of the piping?

You'll have a point where the bath waste joins with the sink waste. What you're saying implies that the blockage is between that point and where the combined bath/sink waste meets the toilet waste and goes out into your main sewer. To me that implies that you may be able to risk putting the draino down the sink - or stop being a lazy f***er and drain the bath with a bucket and do it from there

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I actually used a powder drano before & it seemed to make it worse

Sulphuric acid liquid will shift anything organic in its path. The non sulphuric ones aren't worth a salt.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

is that what's in this stuff? 

 

It says it's septic safe - and I don't mean americans

[cymrococh]

Forget about it, just start using the bath as a toilet. You could even rent it out to some coprophilic sex people you know from the fashion world.

There's bigger things to worry about right now.

[D.Boon]

Never overlook the humble plunger. 

[jimbolala]

I managed to stay awake for 8 hours yesterday.  Got a wee delivery on Sunday,  got lost in my conservatory and made various trips to my beer shed. Woke up at noon, had brunch, done some outside work, had tea, had a shower went back to bed at 8. Marvellous haha

done that too

May go down the bucket route. Failing that - renting it out to sexual deviants as suggested

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

the sink went down. I launched drano down it. I rinsed it through - dark brown I don't know what the f*** it is, started coming UP into the bath

Your hair?

[Gethin]

That does sound like sewage backing up into the system. I assume you’re at the money-pit? Mains sewage or cess-pit?

[scoose]

looks like a hose down in the garden is on the cards here

Plumber came - couldn't do anything. 100+ year old pipes. So he's gonna have to rip down the ceiling below to replace the pipes. 

Was planning on a bathroom remodel so now I have to question do I just dive in and get it done double-quick rather than pay for this to be done and then remodel later & re-do some of the work

[Gethin]

No brainer. If you've got the cash, get it all done

[Nathan Explosion]

Dive on in...
