Been this close to Christmas we are totally out of options as sparkies are well booked into the new year.
We have kids coming home and as we don’t mind a cold shower kids are a bit precious and might melt in cold water.
But seriously can someone help my wife and I out.

The clock is ticking (and no, we're not referring to the Christmas countdown!) - single-use plastic bags will be out of circulation from July 1, 2019.
All retailers, ie not just supermarkets, will no longer be able to sell or give away single-use plastic shopping bags after this date. To read more, click here.
Do you support the single-use plastic bag ban? How will the ban affect your life?
Have you already adapted to a plastic bag-free life or will this mean big changes in your household? What are your tips and tricks for ensuring the ban doesn't cause havoc when you hit the shops?

The heated dispute was sparked by the decision on Wednesday of an Environment Canterbury (ECan)-appointed commissioner to approve Cloud Ocean Water's plans to extract water from a 186-metre deep bore at its Belfast bottling operation.
That decision, which locked members of the public and their opinions out of the consent process, enraged Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel and city councillor Vicki Buck.
But ECan's chairman says the criticism is "ill-informed" and "off-the-wall".

Another business has been fined for failing to ensure the correct Health & Safety of their staff while at work.
Agility Building Solutions Ltd has been fine $150,000 and has to pay (only) $42,180.04 to the injured painter contractor who fell 2 metres from the scaffolding to the concrete floor. As he landed head first, he suffered multiple fractures to his skull, face and ribs and sustained a major brain trauma as a result of the fall - it was his first day on the job.
Companies are expected to provide the correct safety equipment to all staff and ensure they used them correct.
Contact Paul if you have any issue with the Health & Safety in your company.
