F@#$ ing HomeBase

Why don't they stock what you need ?

I only want some fabric washers to stop a dripping pipe, for a few pence !

I don't want a while immersion tank, pumps, deluxe shower or other expensive plumbing stuff I'd need a professional to install

Now I've got a 10 mile drive to the nearest specialist plumbers shop

Thankfully that's one of the perks of renting.

I leave all that shit to my landlord.

When it comes to DIY I'm clueless.

I'm terrible at it. I wouldn't know a hammer from a nail.

Always worth a look in lidl to see if they have a box of various sized washers for sale...

They stock stuff like that every now and then, and I know that at the moment they are selling assorted 'O' rings and hose clips so they may have washers in...
