If you really believe that, you need to reread this thread... if you reckon me sticking an actual wall in the middle of my lounge to house my DVD collection gained me any favour with my other half, you're either eternally optimistic or unaware of the 'lady rules the lounge' rule! :p

excellent!

were managing thanks Robbi , hope your well ?
fortunately it stopped 20ft from the rv door. thats the entrance to our yard. the bodies on the left have only just been put there and werebjust an inch out of the water.

my gaffa has lost alot of stock and i still cant get to my storage body. thats full of our camping gear , summer clothes , onaments etc. its only a luton body...everything will be ruined apart from my canvas tarp and bag. theres numoirous stoves bags kip bags blankets leather skins and odds and ends....it was 5ft deep. we were pumping for hours yesterday and will be pumping all day today. heres the fields opposite us....

Bad news, I hope it doesn't turn out to be as bad as you expect, the pictures don't look good though. :(

I feel for you and la the others affected by this, we've been flood through the hose twice couple of feed flowing through like a river, an interesting experience. But, my chainsaw still worked when i pulled it out of the murky water where it had sat for a day, so all good :D

Hope things clear soon and the clean up's not too bad

Bummer Chris. Only just clocked this, not good news at all. As the others say I hope its not as bad as you fear. Stay safe.
