I've just looked on Metcheck and it's meant to rain a total of 15mm on Friday. I don't know how much it rained before Truck 10 but should we be worried about this? The rest of the weekend looks sunny though

It rained a HELL of alot more before Truck 10, so there's no real need to worry about floods this time.

The below is taken from http://www.rdg.ac.uk/about/newsandevents/releases/PR6880.asp

"On Friday 20th July, 142.6mm of rain fell in Pershore, Worcestershire, while places in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire also recorded in excess of 100mm of rain in 24 hours. In these cases the flooding was caused by rivers bursting their banks - the rivers being swelled as a result of heavy rain over a large area."

126.2mm was actually recorded at Brize Norton, Oxfordshire on the 20th July which was the day before Truck 10......... so don't worry i think we will be fine! although has it has been raining on and off all week in Steventon so it will be muddy.
