About time too Fran, as you know ours was lifted a few weeks back, its hard to believe how worrying it was and all the efforts we were making to conserve the water in the spring and now I have part of my hose attatched to one of my new butts to drain the water away and stop it flooding my yard, I keep topping all the spare ones up but ran out of bins, lol..

Thats great news, can wash the cars again.

lol but you can bet that as soon as the rain stops, the ban will be back!
my part of this block doesn't have downpipes, so I don't know where the rain is directed: I could have filled a couple just by putting a large funnel on top!

Oooh excellent maybe the rain will stop now lol. I can't quite believe they have only just lifted the ban. How much rain did we need.

What's the betting my neighbour will be out watering his garden with a hosepipe tomorrow?

lol and no matter how much rain falls and how full the reservoirs now are, how much will be lost through the leaking pipes?
