Oh flipping heck.
This is why I don't like having plants!
Why can't they look after themselves?!
Bloody things.

Okay, I'll give it a go.
Thanks Alan T.!

If I water the shit out of them to make up for it will that kill them even more?
This is one for Alan Titchmarsh!
Yes, it'd drown them if you do it too much. Give a tiny bit two or three times a day. Might help...
Had to do the same with my parents plants when I lived at home. Used to do it every 2 or 3 days. I'm sure they'll be alright.

hehe
(By a tiny bit, I literally mean a small splash.)
I'll just pretend I did it right all along.
Deny all knowledge of any dead plants / swamps.
It'll be fine...

Hopefully the sun will come out and dry up the garden (
), and you can water the plants sparingly to revive them.
Burst water-main in the street is always a good backup/excuse 
Oooh, worth considering!
... However, looking at your weather forecast, I think you may be screwed on the garden front.
But I could say that's why it's flooded. All the torrential rain!
Maybe.

Until they mention it to the neighbours, or she fails to produce the letter from the water company apologising for it...
Plus it's the back garden.
Oh, curse you, god!

Aye, probably your best bet! (Again though, the neighbours...)
F**k 'em.
One of them's senile anyway.

Yeah, 'very localized' flooding. I'm sure they understand. Or they kick you out and disown you.

hahaha Am I allowed to laugh?
