Just a bit of good news for you Brett, I spoke to the your land lord and he is happy to give you a reduction of $10 a week in your rent if you move all your pins out by tomorrow and share the house with a bunch of really ugly female foreign exchange uni students who party all night, he told me they all have their own tents which they can set up in the backyard, they just need one large room with aircon to store all thier crap.
glad i could help, but what are friends for.
no need to thank me
