Charming

Get home, slink into bathroom, plant myself on toilet only to hear a hideous "CRA-A-A-CK KERRR-RUNCH" and I list alarmingly to my left.....

Yes, the base of the toilet has cracked in about four places. Thank all the gods it's not leaking. I have now called the emergency plumber and will hopefully have a new toilet later tonight, in exchange for a body part or two.

This had better NOT be an omen for the weekend :P
