I'm packing a bag and Goldie and all her stuff and moving in with Mum until this flood alert is over. I won't have Internet access there so can't keep in touch but I'll have my mobile phone with me. Stay safe peeps

it's only water - the only time to panic is if there's soap in it

You too GB.

Hope all turns out well Galaxy Babe!

I so hope that your little house will still be standing and intact when you get back.

Keeping my fingers crossed that all will be well GB!

Terrible! Hope everything turns out ok GB! It seems unbelievable that the picture on the prom is where I sit to eat fish and chips.

I'm home with Goldie now

Mum's house and mine (both in Cleethorpes) escaped any flooding, thank goodness. I'm dog tired due to 2 disturbed nights, Goldie didn't settle and Mum's central heating is very noisy I can't sleep unless there's silence, I swear I could hear a wearing kid slippers skipping across a shag pile carpet.

Goldie is glad to be home and so am I

I hope my friends in Hull fared ok. I'm waiting to hear back from my cousin in Whitby, who has a shop just off the harbour (which flooded) and they live above it.

Thanks for all your thoughts, Scorp, a local woman was injured last night when she leaned on the promenade rail which was no longer there, and fell several feet onto the beach. That's the only injury I've heard of.

very cheeky grin - she leaned on the promenade rail which was no longer there = give her a white stick, a plaster and 2 paracetamol's

It sounded a daft accident but I can understand how it happened.
It actually sounded like something I would do myself. I have lost count of how many times I've leaned on those rails, and I did it just last month balancing my binoculars on them. Before I do it again though, I'll check that they're there, as I wouldn't want that drop onto the beach, particularly head first at high tide at night!

I'm sure there was a cliff here

Glad you and your Mum are safe. Been looking at the pictures and newsreels and feel desperately sorry for everyone. |The aftermath won't be over for ages, if ever for some people.
