Yes, I live in Cheltenham. I now have no running water but I put by 10 litres before it got back on Monday. I've also the bath filled up to flush the toilet with. There's no bread in most shops and when it is in its going off the shelves. I've got a bread maker though so alright there for now. Milk is rationed too, sadly heard on the radio that some farmers are in such trouble they might have to put their herd down.
Thankfully where I am the electricity didn't go off but there's still more rain to come.
The closest water point to me is in the middle of my nearby shopping area, about 2 mins walk, but I live up 3 stories of stairs, so will grow muscles if I need to get more water. hehe. Which isn't so bad as the gym is closed just as I was getting into a routine as well. Sainsbury's near my boyfriend's mum's place (4 miles away) is giving water away, his family is away on holiday atm which is a good thing as his sister has 4 kids, one is a 4 month old baby.
Talking of babies, everyone is buying out babywipes to wash with, I got some travel gel to wash clothes in by hand. So we're hanging on in there, its only just begun really and the time they're telling us the water will take to go back on is going up so 7 days atm.
