    :( The sand bags were delivered here at 9pm last night. I can't do a thing to stop any water getting in here because it comes through a party wall...well,perhaps pray the neighbours sand bags do the trick might help.
    Mrs Pal and me get really really down everytime it rains these days.....Just like now!

    I am not surprised that you are worried Pal as the forecast is not very good.
    Just hope they've got it wrong again and it's not as bad as they say and the
    sandbags do the trick....

    Absolutely horrendous here. Lots of areas under water. Everywhere is sodden. Hopefully things will improve tomorrow.
