Nature's way of telling you you're doing too much housework

[shewhomust]

Naturally, it's when you're expecting guests (including overnight guests you've never met before) and are in a whirl of emergency cleaning so as not to disgrace yourself utterly - that's when you discover that your drains are blocked (all that soapy water...).

Fortunately the vacuum cleaner still works.

Caustic soda wil also do the trick, but handle it with care.

I wasn't going to say that, though, I was going to blink my eyes innocently and ask how one used a vaccuum claner to sort out drains.
