should I start digging a well?

My taps have run dry!

Fortunately, after I went to the loo, and after the dishwasher finished. Filling the kettle for tea, and it was all go slow, trickle, stopppp ....

Could it have frozen in the pipes?

Phone your water supplier - if there's a problem there they'll have a recorded message telling you so,

If not, then it'll be your pipes but of course, if that's the case, the ground will be too hard to dig ...........

I've just rung the water company - thanks for that - they know all about it, and it's all in hand.

I've put the pickaxe away.

I have a mental image of you digging for water! Surely just gathering some snow would have been quicker!

Melted snow? Just chose a clean area to gather it. If you don't fancy drinking it (it's just rainwater after all) it's still fine for dishes and flushing the loo.

Do not use yellow snow ;-)

excellent advice from penelope - oh and I think you would need a mini digger to dig your well - or dynamite! that ground will be like concrete!
