    Slept fine thanks. Apart from you elbowing me at 3am.

    Men get dental abscesses too. And they're more painful than the ones you girlies get.

    Really? Is that why you all drink so much alcohol? ;)

    I didn't think I had your mobile no...how could I have elbowed you at 3am ;)

    Has Mike got a new girlfriend? Does it think it's me?

    I see Littlehampton is on the national news Mike - hope you're okay.

    And I can't help thinking there's a certain irony in that there's a picture of someone mopping out their home - in Swillington.

  • I thought I heard Littlehampton!! Hope you are ok Mike.

    I'm off to the hospital shortly for my pre-op assessment, hopefully I'll get some answers that I need. Then off home to keep sortofmum company up to Bradford for her dads funeral :(

    Thanks :) I'm really only going to support her though as I only met him a couple of times.


    What OU course are you doing Erme? I'll be finishing my OU degree in June next year.

    All OK thanks. Nearest floods 500 yards away on South Terrace. (Well worthwhile paying that little extra on the council tax).

    Horrible for those affected. Basement living can't be much fun even when you don't wake up and watch the cat swim past. And the places will be uninhabitable for a year or more.

    Glad you're okay Mike, though commiserations for all those affected. We had floods up here about 12 years ago and there was a lot of throwing out and rebuilding... I remember a friend lost the contents of her washing machine because the power went off mid-cycle and didn't come back on till everything had gone mouldy - but that was only part of it because of carpets and everything else that was contaminated by flood water. If affects people in ways you wouldn't think of.

    Here's to a sunny day and waters receding.

    A friend heard water running and opened the front door. That's when the trouble started... Whole bungalow under 3 foot of water Everything except photos and phone went in a skip. She could be living in a caravan for a long time.
