The front room of our house has flooded this morning. Spent the last two hours helping the mother the mop up the mess. Thankfully we know this often happens in heavy rain so we'd already moved important stuff like the TV and my mum's files and desk away from the window the water runs down last night.
It's a guttering problem of some sort, which we haven't yet figured out. We're yet to successfully get anyone in to fix it. It seems most tradies still won't take a job seriously (or even show up on at least two occasions) when it's a woman who is trying to get their services. I don't know how this still happens in this this day and age! But then again I'm pretty convinced a large percentage of the populace in my town are stuck in the 1950's...even people who weren't born then. It's so backward here it's embarrassing!
