Floods struck a stables, football ground and cemetery in Leatherhead again at the weekend to the despair of weary flood victims.
Although the flood warning for the area was lifted on Sunday morning, more heavy rain and gales are forecast to begin at midnight on Tuesday night.
Andrea Norbury, who rehabilitates racehorses at Thorncroft Stables, said the floods returned for a fourth time on Saturday. She said: "I’m losing the will to live now.
"It’s totally rubbish. It’s the hardest, most testing time of my life. I just want to go back to bed and wake up when it goes away."
Ms Norbury said she will wait until the flooding stops completely before clearing up yet again and rebuilding her centre.

Of overcoming adversity, she said: "It’s what I do best. I have to. I have got to ride it out."
Peter Ashdown, chairman of Leatherhead Football Club, said their Fetcham Grove football pitch was flooded again on Saturday night, but the clubhouse escaped further damage.
Mr Ashdown said: "It’s relentless. It’s all a bit depressing. It’s the fact we have got to clear up again. It becomes almost monotonous."
A spokesperson for Dignity, which runs Randall’s Park Crematorium, said the grounds and car park were completely flooded on Saturday.
He said: "All areas are now accessible with the exception of the rose garden nearest the river where there continues to be standing water.

"Whilst the flood reached the crematorium chapel and offices, water did not enter the buildings as staff had spent the previous couple of days laying sandbags around the perimeter.
"This preventative measure means that all the restoration work of the chapel and offices can continue this week."
At 10.30am today the river level stood at 1.81 metres in Leatherhead, within the typical range, down from more than 3.1 metres on Saturday.
The highest level recorded at this location was 3.07 metres until Christmas Eve.
The Met Office has issued a warning calling on people in Surrey and the South East of England to beware of gales from midnight on Tuesday night.
The warning said: "Gales accompanied by heavy rain will continue northeastwards overnight, the gales swinging into the west by morning but still with the potential for gusts to around 70 mph in coastal areas, possibly 80 mph in the far southwest.
"Inland gusts to around 60 mph are likely.
"A gradual change to more showery conditions is expected on Wednesday but still with some longer spells of rain, which could mean that some areas see accumulations of 20-30 mm in 24 hours, perhaps even 40 mm over southwestern hills."
