Shouldn't need to be something to live with:
1) If the water's green, your heaters leaking. Expensive PITA.
2) If you've been running the aircon, check that the hose that takes the condensate away isn't blocked. This is a common problem.
3) Check the drain holes at each side of th soft top rain rail. These commonly get blocked and can be cleaned with a coathanger.
Cheers,

windscreen fogging was coz you had water on the floor
i reckon the drain line for the aircon has a big hairy spider up it
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often

wheres the drain located?
It's at the bottom of the evaporator facing towards the engine. There should be a 12mm rubber tube attached to the end of a plastic nipple on the evaporator housing that runs to the transmission tunnel then outside the car. The tube may have been knocked off or the drain may be blocked in the pipe or inside the evaporator.
