Morning all. Strong coffee and are there any Danish left - in desperate need of reviving this morning.
What looked like a small pool of water in my garage has turned out to be an inch of water floating under the whole of my house:-(
Now have holes cut in every room and huge machinery blowing air through and could be that way for months. Time to move out I think! Oh ... and insurers, don't start me on them!!
Looks like I have a lot of catching up to on those so called "celebs"... Janet looks younger than she did 20 years ago! Male celebs nothing to shout about :-)

The good news: the dentist didn't charge me, the better still news: she didn't use the pliers, the bad news: she probably will in the forseeable future.
No Bunny I don't check the coins with my teeth - I give the dodgy ones to the children for their pocket money!
I'll have a double Red Bull and something soft to eat please. (No rock cakes!)

Oh JJ - I am sorry, will you be able to live on site or can you
organise temp. accom. somewhere quickly? Where on earth has the water
come from? Good luck with it, total sympathy with you especially at
this time of year, why don't these things ever happen in the summer?
Better keep you off the 'hard stuff' then T-I-M for a while!
That Red Bull will rot your teeth!

Thank you bunny - did reach for the Gin last night! They think it connected to washing machine and council turning up water pressure when mains renewed! Can't really move out - everyone coming to me for Xmas!!!! Upstairs is OK - you get used to the vibration :-)
opto - no definitely not whisky, at least it is clean water!! Appreciate the extra danish though.
TIM - I thought the dentists engineered it that way to get business but sounds like yours is a gem.. bunny is right about the Red Bull though, water from now on:-(

I suppose that's better then it being due to an underground spring
or the local waste pipes leaking or something like that....
But still not ideal - ears crossed that they get it sorted before Xmas
for you. :>)
I hope they aren't running those machines 24 hrs a day off your electric?

Did the water come out of the washing machine jj? At least if the fault is man made it can be corrected. Thank goodnes it's not a natural spring that has been diverted your way!!

jj, try and see this as a potential business opportunity. For example, an exclusive fishing trip for girlies. We can sit on the sofa, (glass of wine in hand), keep warm AND catch fish without getting our hair messed up.
(Said by someone who took a group 'fishing' in the Highlands a couple of years ago. It was a beginners course where they teach with bits of sheep wool instead of bait until you've got the hang of casting. I wasn't paying attention to the instructions and caste off and caught a small brown trout ...with the sheep wool! I was meant to be practising casting on the loch side. I've since learned 'brownies' are pretty stupid so they should be up for the business suggestion above!)

The problem wasn't the washing machine, it was the watering system for growing 'weed' under the floorboards.

Prunes stuffed with fresh walnut wrapped in bacon for lunch. With a large glas of red wine....Zzzzz

Well done Priscilla! Our hero, baby saver :-) You can sit there, feet up and I shall pour you a glass - not so sure about the prune dish! If you are bored,
you can come fishing at my place!
Water is under all the rooms (endoscope put down to ascertain!!!!). So
6 months of 5 machines using 1kw and hour, 24 hours a day, will cost a
bit on the electricity front - shall ask loss adjuster about that :-(
Wooden floors but a concrete solum (??!!) underneath which is why
water doesn't just drain away. As you say, at least it is not
a spring so problem will be sorted out eventually. Lucky really...:-)
Oh and got divorced today too.
