More Dramas From The Bathroom

Firstly. I apologise in advance for any missed spelling mistakes - the kitten is wandering across the keyboard and computer desk (I'd probably move her if she wasn't so darn cute!)

So yes, more bathroom issues. There I was scrubbing the floor and mopping up the water with my new mop (I'm a bit of a Monica with this mop) when I heard a buzzing. Assuming it was a wasp or blue bottle I had a quick look around the room. Then the buzzing got louder and I figured since the window was open I could just hear someone doing something in their backyard. Went to turn back round but being the clumsy clown that I am I overbalanced so put my thumb on the radiator to stop myself........WHICH IS WHEN I GOT ELECTRICUTED! So now the buzzings real loud and little orange sparks start coming out from a gap in the floorboards. I had no idea what it was but obviously knew sparks and water don't mix so started frantically mopping. Once all the water's up I bent down to have a better look and try and figure out why the hell my floor is doing this which is when theres a bang (which even he heard downstairs but just figured I'd dropped something, a fair assumption) and a ball of orange about 1/2" from my face (I swaer if I had been any closer I'd be writing this without the joy of eyebrows).

Proper shit up I explaioned it all to the boy who said we'd need to get an electrician. 'No' said I, 'I'll call my Dad'! Even though my Dad doesn't work with electrics he's one of those guys who knows a bit of everything. So he came round and it's a friggin' bare live wire thats sticking up between the floorboards (about 2" from the hole the cat keeps investigating which is the thing that scares me the most - that shock definately would have killed her) which was from an older water boiler. Looking in the fuse box unearthed a fuse for said water boiler, though the bang had obviously fixed it. So why was a fuse that led to nothing not noticed by the £450 surveyor we had to get in as part of our mortgage agreement? Why did the idiots who previously owned this place think that cutting and leaving a live wire was acceptable behaviour? I spent an hour on the sofa with a major headache watching The Hills, which I think I could become quite addicted to.

On a lighter note, this is what the cat's doing now
