Right my dad has 2 bungalows local to me (one was my grans and the othere was a renervation thats now complete and forsale) hes been away for 10 days to gran canaria as the bnb is quiet right now he got back christmas day, the day befor christmas eve i got a phone call from the cleaner at the bnb the neighbour had called from next door to my grans old house saying there was a leek i dont even have a key so nipped to my dads mates got a key and went round expecting a small leek fo find the niagra falls coming out the lintal above the door opened the door and the entire bungalow was under 2in of water so turned the water off and the electric then using a snow shovel got most of the water out the door, next morning afer visiting 4 b n q's (all sold out) i had 2 wet vacks so went back and got the majority out so the carpets were just wet we left at about 2 on christmas eve, leaving all the windows on vent so air could circulate, got home and we needed to go to tesco for some last minute bits for crimbo dinner, we were passing my grans and for some unknown reason i decided to call in and check on the place decided to give the living room a quick vacume to get a bit more out the carpet, now the othere bungalow is just round the cornner and whilst im vacuming the neighbour came round desperatly looking for my dad explained she was just walking home and she heard a pop and now there was a big problem with the other bungalow at this point i started looking for beadle then realized hes dead so grabed the spare keys out my grans to find the same sight of water pissing out the brickwork and lintle, opening the doo there was 2 in of water in the kitchen, and it was starting to spread, now 2 hours earlier i had tryed to turn the water off and the stop cock wouldnt budge so i ran back to the car to get a spanner for leaverage praying that i wouldnt break the stop cock, luckily it didnt, i got the water off then spent 2 hours shoveling and hoovering again, (dont think it will be getting sold soon now oops, so my dad landed christmas day and instead of an hours drive to doncaster for a kip he had a 4 hour drive to whitby getting back at 2am this morning not the best crimbo ever, but alex had a good time wish i was 5 month old again no worries at all lol, im asking santa for webbed feet next year feel like i should have them after the amount of time ive spent in water the past 2 days
