Disaster!!!!!

Today started off badly, I got up and had my shower, went back into the bedroom to dry my hair, as usual I sat on my bed rubbed my hair switched on the dryer and was starting to dry my hair when I got soaked by a deluge of water pouring through the light in the bedroom! Beth told me that she had heard dripping from above the room, so Tom was sent into the loft to see what was happening.
While we were getting the loft ladder sorted out water started to come through the ceiling in the upstairs hall, downstairs below the stairs and through the heating trunking into the kitchen. Beth ran around with pots and pans, I turned up the mattress to stop that getting wet.
Tom discovered the problem, the cold water inlet into the water tank has a small U bend in it directing the water downwards into the tank, for some unknown reason this had come off and the water was shooting straight up and going outside the tank and into the loft.
Tom managed to fix it back on with the temporary aid of a hair bongo. We need to get it fixed properly as now everytime water goes into the tank it is too close to the overflow outlet and causes the overflow to activate.
The thing we forgot about was the airing cupboard, that was directly below the water tank so when I opened that it was flooded as well, loads of towels and linens soaking wet, looks like I have some washing to do over the weekend !
So just as I thought that it was save to go to work, I went out to get into the car only to find I had a flat tyre!! (I blame this fully on the previous owners who have quite obviously sold us a substandard vehicle!!) By the time we had sorted that out I was well and truly late. Thank goodness Tom was at home, he hasn't had a restful couple of days off!!
