Methane Conduits

Well the house hunting went bad, it was raining heavily! We (Thankyou to friends who minded the kids) looked at 3 houses, one was too far away and bungalow too small, one was too run down and storage area let water in (Glad it was raining so we could see that!) and third one was just plain weird! So nothing so far.

I ended up texting the DHS worker asking for confirmation of their advise in writing. I then received an email stating that they would only pay the difference in rent if we were not also having to pay for our current property. I knew it had to be wrong! They also confirmed they requested another Methane monitor that also monitors carbon dioxide for the bathroom cabinet, which is a shared wall with Jaidens' bedroom.

Nathan is pushing that we become ostriches and stick our head in the sand, like a few residents here........and not move.
Our landlord asked me, "How I would feel about that?". I replied, "I would be an ostrich with an ulcer!"

So tonight I was looking up images for you of ostriches with their head in the sand and gave myself a little chuckle.....you see we would end up inhaling methane and it would escape through our ar**es! lol We might be able to blow them up if we try hard enough! (Oh ghee it's good to have a laugh for a change!)

The kids have been really trying today. Not following any instructions, doing things they know they shouldn't....Jaiden kept kicking the back of my car seat while I was driving.....I was so frustrated, I grabbed his leg and yelled at him.......what happened to that lovely parenting?

So now we have to really think about prioritising things. The kids need their routine back, I go back to my part time job on Wednesday. The business is also suffering and we just cant look at houses for several hours each day. So I think we are stuck here, against our will.
