Oh dear RMS - it never rains but it pours. Perhaps you have the Canadian equivalent to Jean's suggestions?

Talking of tomatoes. When the offspring were little, we took them for a guided tour at the local sewage works 'open day'. (I know, daft but informative. As it happens, some of their ancestors worked there 120 years ago.) Anyway, they had a lovely crop of tomato plants growing where they used to dump the digested solids. Next time you eat a tomato, they may end up reproducing at your local SW - lol

As a last resort, try Social Services, or CAB for advice. It is a question of proper hygiene and so may be something that help would be available with. Even the bank might lend a sympathetic ear. We didnt have a septic tank, merely a soakaway, but we had no neighbours for a mile all round so it affected no one if we had an overflow. Many a crop of tomatoes we had in that area!

Shy, am sending you positive thoughts. It all seems too much because you are all still suffering from the shock of the accident. Hope you can get the tank fixed without too much expense, do you have any insurance that can help the repair/replacement.

My parents were in a car crash, month and a half in the hospital, my Mum spent other 3 weeks in a convenent home. When we finally got back to our own home and everything was going along as well as could be expected our septic tank pump stopped working. My Dad just bought a new car cause I needed it to get to Brownies and heaven only knows how much this is going to cost!
My parents are so overwhelmed their not sleeping, and to top it all off my Mums broken thumb isn't healing and might need surgery to fix it. Yes they are tough enough to live with the pain of their injuries but this is just too much.
