@Bainbridge if I was to do this myself I would try and cut some sort of french drain / drainage feeding into that gutter down pipe - should be a fairly straightforward DIY job. You could then get a tonne bag of chippings/stones and cover the area until you get it slabbed.
No idea if what I’ve suggested is terrible though!

We've got a split level garden, and as we are approaching the end of the build we are very aware that the courtyard area is very wet and muddy.
The builder re-layed the slabs but they are pretty knackered so it was just a temporary measure.
There isn't any drainage so we are getting big puddles, and while we want to get a nice tiled courtyard sorted, we have no money right now.
Anyone know any temporary measures to tide us over until we can do it properly?
Was thinking of clearing all the water I can off the surface and then covering with some plastic sheeting - at least then I can sweep standing water into the drain when it rains.
