We've been flooded & had to evacuate :(

We were flooded out yesterday and had to evacuate to my sisters.
The water in the house is now up to the top of our thighs.
It will be months before we can live in the house again

**Toothfairy** · 25-12-2013, 08:02 PM

Thanks everyone, we're fine.
We got as much up stairs as we could but had to leave the large furniture downstairs (narrow victorian staircase).
The whole of the downstairs is under water, up to the top of our thighs.
They are still releasing the flood barriers on & off so they don't think the water will go down for a few days yet.
We are going to try to go back to the house on Friday to collect some more clothes.
We are staying with my sister for a few days then a friend is lending us their flat until March/April (they live in Singapore and just use the flat when over here visiting).
Hopefully by then we can go back to the house, even if we have to live upstairs for a while.
We managed to get my car out but we don't know if hubby's car is ok (parked it further up the road and can't now get to it).
Thanks for all your kind words, it's a big mess but nothing that can't be fixed with time and hard work xxx
