Offer of shower/washing clothes etc

dundeedoll_2 · 27 July 2007 at 12:17AM

It may be too far to drive as I live near Evesham, but if anybody is desperate for a shower or to wash some clothes etc, I would be willing to help. Please pm me with a phone number & when I get in from work tomorrow (or rather later on this) afternoon I'll get back to you.

thats very kind of you! nice to see the community spirit is still alive and kicking :T im sure your offer will help someone out, i was lucky enough to get a shower earlier today but i had to drive 20 miles to get it, but it was worth it...never have i enjoyed a shower so much

Nice gesture, I really feel so sorry for those people who are suffering and that includes Yorkshire, Humberside areas who suffered a few weeks back

Although I had a nightmare journey home last Friday trying every single route from Evesham to our village I could think of and eventually getting home 3 1/2 hours later (normally 6 mins) and then the village being totally cut off, I have not been affected by flooding or having no water at my house.
I feel physically sick and am close to tears every time I hear about it all, watch the news or just think about the thousands of people suffering. I just feel I would like to do something (other than the red cross donation I've made) to help someone - I know that if my house had been destroyed by floodwater and I had no water/electric I would be so very grateful for any help and kindness shown. I think most people feel like this and have shown that community spirit is very strong with only a small number of exceptions with the looting, buying and reselling water etc.
I am planning to take some water/blankets/towells over to the dog rescue place in Swindon village on Saturday. I know that there are lots of people in dire need of help, but the poor animals are suffering too.

Just got in from work & checked my pms.
I have contacted the people that have left a number and now have 7 families popping in for a shower over the weekend. Look forward to meeting you at arranged times. If you bring some containers over you can fill them from my tap to take home.
A special thanks to Anita from Cheltenham who offered to drop off the water/blankets at the dogs home for me.

I've thanked you dundeedoll. Not because I need your services (thankfully - but don't take that in a bad way!!), but because you really are a great example of the supportive MSE (and indeed the UK) community!

Errata and rharper83 thanks for your comments.

I have tried to contact my 7 'visitors' but have not got through to all of you, just to say:
'Please don't bother bringing towells, shower gel, shampoo, hairdryer etc, it's all here.'
