Hi Ann I didn't realise you'd lost your water; thought you had only lost the internet for a while. Hope it gets back on properly soon. xx lol at a mum taking washing to her daughter!!! Take care, Jen

You'll certainly be hearing a cheer from me, Anne! Looking forward to doing some washing and having a proper shower - standing up in my grandson's baby bath was/is hilarious and not a sight to be inflicted on any human being!!! LOL. Come on - Severn Trent!!!!!!! (I never realised how many times I washed my hands during the day)

Gwyn For hands I am using the gel and/or spray stuff which does make you feel you are keeping the germs at bay. I will continue to use this until they tell us the water is drinkable as I don't fancy washing my hands in contaminated water. Ann Glos

I hope today DOES bring good news, Ann. When we lived in Cyprus, I got used to water being cut off for half a day sometimes but that was manageable. I wash my hands countless times a day, so I'd hate to be in your position. It takes me back to remembering my grandparents cottage in south Wales. They never did have a running water supply indoors. It was a big plus for them when an outside tap was fitted and they no longer had to go to the village pump. .....Sounds so primitive now. Gwyn

So do I although we are among the luckier ones. having a water barrel we have been able to use that for flushing which has meant that, so far we have not had to use the bowsers. Also we were able to go down to hampshire at the weekend to daughters and therefore we are sweet smelling again and did one load of washing as well. Daughter said she thought it was the children who took their washing home to Mum!!! Ann Glos

Our water COULD be back on. that is the plus side....................... Minus side is that it will only be fit for showering, flushing loos and washing clothes. still it will be a start..................................... So GO Severn Trent. Ann Glos
