and not looking like it's going to stop any time soon and I have to walk to work in 1/2hr. Can you all do a 'reverse' rain dance for me so that it stops...........I don't want to get wet (it's going sideways so even an umbrella won't keep me totally dry) and I'm terrified of being outside in thunder storms [frown]

where are all you people having storms, we haven't had a sniff of rain and I am just about sick to the back teeth of being so frigging hot and not being able to keep the sun off the kids properly in the car grrrrrrrrr

Not again! We had it Tuesday and Wednesady night in Southampton.
Last night DH left the spare room window open under the leaky gutter and it was like someone had stuck a hosepipe through it. Went through the floorboards and down the walls in the kitchen
Good luck your maj.

so hot and wet, hmmmm, well maybe you can keep it then. I want some proper cold rain

Put a change of clothes in a plastic bag, and enjoy getting wet or cooler whilst you are heading to work.

Can totally sympathise QofQ. We went to visit dh's grandmother last weekend and despite the heat outside , internally the home was ten times worse. (We went armed with a hand held fan , evian spray etc for her but it was horrendeous inside)

longwaytogo · 27/07/2006 22:22

mmmm can totally sympathise have just finished 13 hour shift in hosptial it is absolutly roasting - uniform just sticks to you and i'm sure the patients dread us getting too close as we must stink. uch
