My name is Fleur Kelley. For thirty years, I've been a plumber's wife and there has never been a dull moment! He runs his own business and, more often than not, I have to take diverted calls when he can't answer his mobile. I used to be hesitant, but these days my hubby calls me his "right-hand man" because I've become so good at giving basic advice and identifying the exact problem for a panicky caller. I read all my hubby's plumbing mags and always listen intently when he and his mates are discussing various jobs at a barbeque. I love the TV show "Dirty Jobs" because, every now and then, there's a good plumbing episode! I'm on the lookout for those of you who also enjoy a good plumbing story or just want to know a little more about the trade. Do enjoy.
