[Two hoots]

Still no lifting in any restrictions in Wales for another week  its getting difficult now after 9 weeks and seeing a slow lifting in England on the news.

[CLKD]

The Welsh don't want the English to visit - no change there then 

Norfolk and Suffolk plus in the South of England - their beaches have been full, but I think people are keeping a good distance. We're English ain't we so don't interact with strangers  .  It's toilets and car park remaining shut that is the largest problem!

[Barnacle]

I would love to chuck the DC's and the dog in the back of the car and drive to Wells this afternoon. In theory i could, but i can't see myself doing it for quite some time.

[Tc]

Nooooooooooo,have you disinfected the place TC?🤬

Yes with wipes. He is coming back.later. It's a major issue. . He is calling another guy in. This is the trouble with isolating. No one has been in my flat since lockdown. But when things Like this happen there is no choice. My bath filled up last night to the brim with sewage water so I'm already freaking out about the potential health hazard there then he comes in not wearing a mask and coughing and has touched just about every surface in bathroom and kitchen. my anxiety is going through the roof. 

[jillydoll]

Aww TC. I'm feeling your anxiety.  AND anger. !!

When they've gone, spray disenfectant all over, don't wipe, just let it dry. ( as long as you've got some)
We did that when my OH left the bedroom , to go to hospital,  sprayed everywhere, and just left it.

As for the bath, 😩 oh Jesus, I'm so sorry, must be terrible for you. 

[CLKD]

It's backing up somewhere then?  At least you have guys prepared to help, some would walk away!

You've more issues with sewage than C-19 ;-).  Get those Marigolds on, lots of bleach and Jaycloths ;-).  Good exercise?

[Tc]

I cant run any water. Even in kitchen it comes up into bath. It's a major thing possibly from lower down in the block. My letting  agent is calling council. Atm I'm waiting on a plumber as the panelling in bathroom and kitchen has to be "ripped out" to get to pipes. Drain guy said he "doesnt touch copper piping". Sorry this is way off topic. Although the issue of workmen and distancing /wearing masks isnt.

I filled jugs of water but tbh I've opened my weekend bottle of wine. Its 5 o clock somewhere.....oh wait...its 5 o clock here!!! Shame ve only got one and I'm a two bottle kind of girl. 😃

Jd. At least you didnt  spray Mr JD with it!!  My cousin s OH had symptoms and was isolated from fam in bedroom. pretty unwell but he txt me saying "help me. Kathy bates has locked me in my room and every time I come out she follows me round with a disinfectant spray".

How is Mr JD now?

Quite frankly your Landlord should rehouse you!  What's it to do with the Council ......... no sewage should back up anywhere!!  R these plumbers for real, regulated - CORGI registered? I feel helpless but I would be asking for them to put me into a B&B/Hotel somewhere!! 

[Sparrow]

The problem may be outside the building in the main sewer.  It should be the water company that should be contacted surely.

My heighbour, over the road, had a similar problem and it was a broken sewer pipe that caused the waste to back up.

[CLKD]

With Bank Holiday on the horizon I would tell the Landlord that I'm off to a Hotel ;-).  Did anyone C the sink hole due to a sewer collapse but can't remember where 

[sheila99]

Tc I don't think it's a copper pipe problem. Someone will have put kitchen roll/wet wipes/nappy down their toilet and blocked the sewage pipe. If they're privately owned flats I don't think the council have any responsibility for it. It probably needs your landlord to contact the managing agent for the block of flats, they need a drainage man not a plumber. Bad timing though, I hope they can get someone out soon. How high up the block are you? It happened in our flats during the loo roll shortage, upstairs tenant used kitchen roll and wet wipes so downstairs tenant had sewage coming up in her sink when she turned the tap on. Didn't do her OCD any good...

[CLKD]

Bad design too! 

[jillydoll]

He's doing great thanx TC.  Doing more every day. 😊 xx


Think that sink hole CLKD was in Walsall. Massive it was. x

[CLKD]

Tnx!

[Tc]

Good to hear that jd. Great news

Thank you ladies. I'm in top floor. The council are responsible for block. Most people in block are council tenants. My flat was purchased by my landlord and I rent it through an agency. Its a very old council block and very little has been done to update it. Or maintained it.  At moment they ate carrying out works to comply with grenfell
