    I've just cashed out £5 from a survey site so I'll PAD that tomorrow.

    DH has had a flurry of sales which is a (nice) surprise :)

    We are under a flood alert but I dont think the sea front gates are closed - yet but of course they depend on the state of tides. The ground is certainly very soggy and I noticed the Rhyne alonside one of the main roads is very full.

    Hope the flooding isn't too serious. 

    Well done on the PADs.

    It's all very soggy isn't it!

    Thank you.  We're luckily ok as we are on a hill.  Lots of others not so.

    12 items packed and posted for DH.  That's made a nice dent in the hoard of boxes!

    I messaged a plumber yesterday and they've replied so it looks like we can finally get the stop tap sorted, hurrah!  It means we'll finally be able to sort the dripping tap too.
