I have to rant.... it's been annoying me for about 2 weeks!
I am staying with a family in Melbourne (who i grew up in the same street with in England) and before i carry on i really appreciate them letting me stay else i would have had to come home to England as i can't afford to stay in hostels. I am paying them rent by the way.
Anyway...there's a water shortage going on over here and so everyone's really careful which is fair enough. But the mum in the family is obsessive and everytime i pour myself a glass of water the mum is standing over me clenching her teeth and inhaling as if i am causing Australia's water shortage by myself. I NEED water to survive.
Also, i am now not allowed to go to the bathroom after 9.30pm! Which is insane! How am i to cope!? No showers after 9.30pm either, so i now just shower at the gym everyday.
I am also fed up of the mum's tantrums...she's coming up 50 and acts like a 5 year old...example: we're all dishing up Sunday dinner last weekend when the mum's walks off in a huff and locks herself in the room. I am shocked and obviously worried about what on earth could have caused her to be upset and not to come out of her room for 10 minutes. Later to find it is because we served up our dinner before hand. Can you believe it?
She also refuses to talk to me about things, but goes through her son (who is my age), which i find childish...and very grateful my mum is so cool! 
If she didn't want me to stay... she should have just said! Arghhhhhhh!!!
p.s i am the perfect house guest...i clean up after myself plus do extra around the house to help out. You wouldn't even know i was there during the week.
Only one and a half months to go!
RANT OVER!
I love you.
