update:
Plumber is here along with several workmen complete with mini jcb :shock:
That stopcock thing I said was buried under tarmac - well, it isnt, but it is located in the next street hence why no one could find it....... and the whole street is being cut off shortly so that the workmen can make a start :shock: Thanks again for the help offered last night!
As a little extra, I have now blown up my carpet shampoo machine. It did go pop. :shock:
wonder what's next? these things come in 3's dont they??
Dark, going back to bed for rest of the day and bloody well staying there!

Thanks for your suggestions folks - I love you people I really do!
Definately cant turn the water off as i cant access the stopcock in street, darent smack it too hard as it's a rented property and if I cause further damage I'll be held responsible....
so, it's being gaffer taped and god knows what else, a friend is on her way with kids play sand ( sandbags at this time of night, i ask you!
) , and I have been reassured that IF it does flood the kitchen, the council will be liable for the repair bill cos I reported it in plenty of time..... so, there's not much else i can do now.
Thanks to all for your help

Hi there should be stopcock outside front door or in garden which is main supply to you if u turn it to nearly off position will take pressure off lead and as previously stated tap the lead pipe with hammer should see u through till tomorow
good luck
its definately been tarmac'd over, absolutely nothing in garden/ drive. Pavement outside has recently been re surfaced, i reckon it's under there !!

Well you'll need to turn the water off before you could even see if the pipes burst above the ground. Sure you haven't got a stop cock in the house somewhere......... most houses do. If you can find it turn it off and see if the pipes split.
Must admit sounds like there ain't much you can do tonite though
no hun, stopcock indoors doesnt turn water off outside, its a seperate one apparently!
oooo, i have a plumber on the phone
lol
on the offchance, if anyone is a plumber, can you please pm me cos i've got bust pipes and am gushing everywhere :twisted:
no, serious now, , just when ya think things cant get any worse, frozen old lead pipe to outside toilet has burst and its pissing water out in my sheds - does anyone know what i can seal it with?
repair bloke & water board not coming til morning, by which time my bloody kitchen will be flooded and the stopcock thingy is under the pavement!! looks like its burst underground, so, i can safely kiss goodbye to outbuildings when they come tomorrow to dig it up
it never rains but it pours - or in my case, it doesnt just leak, it floods. :cry:

Fur.
Not real fur of course, but some of the synthetics are as close as!, sheepskin rugs or fur throws feel incredible against your skin...
and I'm talking 'lying on' not wearing hahaha
I like leather too, & PVC definately looks the business, but once you're hot and sweaty the damn stuff sticks, cooks you alive & makes me look like a burst sausage. :lol2: not good!

Not everyone want to spend new year with their family
... I mean, where do all the baby sitters come from on NYE? Most people find it hard enough most other nights of the year, but on the big celebration night of the year when people (incl baby sitters?) want to be out with their mates, getting drunk, partying etc...just amazing (in a non-judgemental sort of way, know worra mean?)
might be sommat to do with the fact they charge stupid amounts of money and we parents are sometimes that desperate to get out and let our hair down, we pay it!!
babysitters are onto a winner NYE.
:shock: Hmmm, seeing as my social life's going rapidly down the pan and i'm skint, I may as well start booking em in too. Know what i'll be doing on new yrs then.
Ooooo, ok, an opportunity to say a big Thankyou and to nominate Marcuso
- for his unsung heroic coffee and meeting newbies acts. For being the friendly face of SH to many a 'local noob' and being a helping-hand through the doors of SH.
best just also mention that he does throw some of the best parties ever!
While I'm at it, Uncle Dammy should also get a mention here, for his impromptue mentoring, making folk feel welcome and included, and for not doing politics while at the same time defending the good ship Swinging Heaven and all who sail in her.
And Sarah, for being an angel as other's have already nominated and recognised. For extending the hand of mentoring and friendship across SH.

Havent really found my enthusiasm for Xmas this year yet, at this rate it'll be beans on toast!!
Normally, I do the whole domestic goddess thing and end up doing a traditional Turkey roast and enough veg and trimmings to feed a small army! With any luck I'll have no last minute guests and make do with maybe a small chicken and several bottles of Baileys! :P

Update : on a big hill approx 6 miles from M1 Junction 28 - and we've got proper snow!!!!
roads are still clear but it is settling a little now elsewhere, driving conditions are poor so if you're heading anywhere near this area, please take care! visibility is poor, Junction 28's down to one lane Northbound (accident) and A38 off J28 is down to one lane (roadworks!)

Is there any chance of squeezing a little one in?? (i'll sit quiet in the corner and think thin all night i promise!
I know I've left it really late..
Am feeling especially gutted today as I didnt go to the Glasgow munch - but if there's a chance you could squeeze me in I'll start fluttering my eyelashes for a lift/ floorspace
Dark x (in particularly cheeky mode)
Im sure we can fit you in at ours if you are in need!
Jackie you are an absolute star ! 
Now I just need transport !
I really hate to ask, but, if anyone is travelling from Nottingham, Derby, Buxton, Chesterfield or Mansfield areas and has enough bum space for me ( its not a small bum mind you) ( and an overnight bag.... munch luggage usually consists of 2 suitcases but I'll at least try to travel light)..... i'll even stick me nicorette patches on so I dont smoke in your car <<<<< tries to make this sound like an attractive opportunity for someone to rescue this damsel in distress 
I'll be eternally grateful and owe you bigtime!! :rascal: My pre-Xmas finances might just stretch to contributing half to fuel/ hotel costs.... I have an airbed....failing that I just need dropping off anywhere between Bolton & Wigan and i'll be on the bus to Jackies!
The PM button is below!
I'm off to stick my hand down the back of the sofa, never know, might have lost a £50 note down there at some point!
