Thanks Timbo for that....It's raining it's pouring!!!! :wah

I don't think I have ever seen in the UK the torrential rain we have had here since last night for such a prolonged period of time, and it is still not letting up! I think we have had the annual quota of rain in less than a day! :(

The roads are like rivers and the rivers are like the sea! I have lost count the amount of times I have got wet this morning dropping the children to all their regular Wed morning activities and doing the shopping! :wah :wah

Roll on school holidays...it can rain as much as it likes then!!! :P
