Weeksy, has your house flooded or are are you in a position where it will if you are not pro-active with the pumps?
It must be total hell protecting your property from being messed up but there is always somebody in a position worse than your own, like where the house has already been totally destroyed by flood water – Doesn’t make it any better I know but maybe you can at least feel lucky to be holding out (if you are, if not apologies and good luck with the clean-up)
I do love our press and political system, any excuse for blame throwing etc.
me and the OH where on holiday when the last floods came (the flash floods of summer that were pretty severe) – I remember it being on the news abroad quickly followed by the floods in another country where a suspected 2000 were dead and an entire town was without shelter, food, electricity etc, kind of put things into perspective!
