How can i get some water without leaving the house?
I thought i would pamper my hair today so when i washed it i treated it to a conditioner that is full of vitamins etc. BUT when it came to washing it off i found that i had no water
I have called Thames water and they are repairing a burst water main and the water will hopefully be back on by the end of the day. All bladdy well and good but my head is itching like a ho with thrush.
Anyone that could have got me some water is out or at work so i am stuck. The only option left is to rinse it off in the frog pond
At the moment is all stiff and sticking up

Sara, you being a market gardner. Surely you have a barrel of rainwater collected in the garden. Will be bloody cold, but will do the job

I have loads of water butts but they are full of blood worms and i would have to heat the water up first

only the chalky stuff in the bottom. I wonder if it is the water peoples responsibility to provide water when they but it off or does it have to be off for a long time?

Honestly, i wouldn't get served looking like i do at the moment. My hair is very dark and the conditioner is looking like a gray paste at the moment, not a good look. I look like i have gray hair

I am going to use a bottle of sugar free lemonade to get most of the soap out. If i can get it to look wet i will drive to she shops to get some water
I am glad i wasn't in the shower covered in soap when it happened

Don't worry about the bloodworm Sara, after a while they'll just hatch out and fly away!

If that had happened I would have insisted on popping round and bringing you water myself. I wouldn't have minded helping out
