Similar problems here. Wild stormy weather, dodgy gutters (still waiting for the builder) so have been decanting gallons and gallons of water via a large bucket to the nearby drain.

Just hope we are through the worst of it, although we now have the tail end of the low moving away. I'm definitely not happy! Take care of that back and hips... and stomach...
