we had the same thing happen last year and we phoned the electric company and they sent a generater for us and picked it after they were done we only had a couple of snakes but what if the work takes a bit longer they didnt charge us.

Will see what EDF say about us borrowing a genny off them, since they're doing the work and it's all being arranged in advance.
No gas in the village, so a hot water bottle would only be as good as it lasts - only just thought of that one!

computer UPS' are handy to have although can be a bit expensive for long battery life. The cheaper ones only really give enough time to power everything down properly.
(a UPS is a backup battery source that you'd plug the lights / heat mats into and it keeps the power going.
