Re: Floods and more water
 

Another one in Gloucestershire here, but I am near Swindon so we are unaffected by power/water problems (as yet). I really feel for anyone who has been affected.

I can't believe that the bowsers are being vandalised - the mentality of some people is beyond comprehension.

Never mind the dish washer, what about the bath/shower. You'll both be nice and ripe by the time it comes back on:ohmy:, I'll be smelling you from here;). Hope you know someone with running water for the hygiene aspects.

Good to hear you managed to keep the lecky, it must have been all our good wishes. That would have been really bad, no water or lecky.

Vandalised?? I'd better not say anymore as what I'm wanting to say would have to heavily censored:curse:
I hope your area stays dry and you all stay safe.

Re: Floods and more water
 

Glad you're okay. Missing the dishwasher! :D:rofl:

Re: Floods and more water
 

Cheltenham here too. No flooding of our house but no water since early evening yesterday.

Just spoek with a friend in Stroud. They are expecting to be without water in the next 24 hours. News on TV said it can last up to two weeks.

More rain coming in thursday and again sunday. Right now it's partially cloudy and sunny.

Apparently some supermarkets are distributing water bottles. Not sure the on on high street is. That's the nearest to m. So is the Bowser at St Pauls medical center. STill have pots and jugs filled and a couple of buckets with rain water.

I'm trying to get out of here until we have water back in our taps. Possibly to Germany or Sweden.

Stay safe adn dry all of you.

This is really sad, a set of new born twins have died.

Re: Floods and more water
 

I saw that too, really sad story... to be honest, though, at 21 weeks it would have been touch and go even with the best medical care right at hand. However, that doesn't make it any less tragic for the parents, absolutely horrible for them. And not at all helped by the fact that they now have to return from the hospital and all the mental anguish of that episode to face a flooded house as well. My heart goes out to them.

Re: Floods and more water
 

Big reminder to everyone, that there is always someone worse off......Very sad........

Re: Floods and more water
 

And now this has happened :(

http://www.bbc.co.uk/gloucestershire/index.shtml


Watching local news & listening to local radio, morons (can think of much stronger) are still vandalizing the bowsers, deliberately leaving the taps on & even stealing them :curse:

On a lighter note - hubby & I had 'watering can showers' last night :D
We are lucky having an ensuite wetroom as the bath is storing water - was surprised how little we needed to shower & wash hair - just goes to show how much we use normally :o

Re: Floods and more water
 

:(:( Just awful.
I'm trying to get my head around the fact that the bowsers are being vandalised. I honestly can't believe it:mad: Disgusting!

Re: Floods and more water
 

There has also been a report to the police of somebody urinating in a bowser :curse:

The one by us was not refilled for 2 days & then (like buses) 2 tankers come along within half an hour of each other to fill it :blink: - i'm not complaining though, at least it's been refilled :thumbup:

Before ours was refilled I went to a bottled water distribution point to fill up a container where there was a hugh army water tanker, & I was helped by some very nice young soldiers ;)

Arris :D
