Had you been in the lady’s loo in Myer yesterday you would have seen me filling a teapot with water and pouring it out again.

When someone came into the loo I expected a strange look followed by a quick exit. What I heard instead were comments such as “good idea”. “Well, does it leak? No? Oh good!”

It made me feel like the people’s advocate. Wish I had thought of this idea myself, but I actually received the advice from Roma who commented on my previous blog about leaky teapots. She acknowledged the sensible advice from Chris who says that she always tests teapots before buying them.

I bought some gel inserts for my sore feet yesterday as well. Too bad that I couldn’t test them before wasting $17 on that rubbish
