    Hi there is a frequency of having your tank emptied that shouldn't incurr a charge, think is 24 months here, the local council is obliged to come and empty it at least once free of charge in that period, might be worth asking about if your only emptying it so infrequently.

    I've never heard of that before.....Thanks for the info, I'll look into it....and tell my hubby to "go" at work from now on so we can stretch it to the 2 years :rotfl::rotfl:
    My husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.
  • Just like when Martin Lewis told the world that Tesco took coupons even if you didn't buy the product you mean?

    Please don't compare Henlans to Martin Lewis, his ego is big enough already :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I really hope we don't start teacher bashing on here.

    No way was my post a slur to teachers..:o I know, from experience, that the majority of them do a wonderful job often in difficult circumstances.
    Born to glitch :D

    Oh hun, a lot of the issues like this are not down to the teachers but down the lack of resources and funding provided for schools.

    Absolutely, they have closed special education units and are advocating mainstream with no resources it's simply not good enough.

    I dont want money!

    No I suppose you already made your pile long ago huh?
    Still its a shame you didn't even get paid because as the article effectively points out as a result of pushing the scheme to its limit you may have prevented others from legitimately continuning to make savings on the scheme.
    Maybe you don't need the money but there are plent y out there in these hard times that do. so what did you get from it?
    I'm sorry, these vouchers are only exchangeable for abuse!

    Been catching up and read your post....A friend of mine has a son who was very disruptive and naughty in class during his early Primary years. He had many assessments etc and his 'problem' was that he was a very bright boy and was bored in class as he found the work too easy. He used to mess around as a way of amusing himself. Once he was recognised as being exceptionally bright and given extension work he calmed down and became a model pupil.

    I hope your son gets the help needed and a solution can be found to his behaviour. Hopefully you also have support from family members...xx
    I just had to reply to your post this just sounds so like my son he was very naughty as a child he would lay awake all night he needed very little sleep even after he had very strict bedtime routines when he started school the teacher pulled me aside Very soon after he started and told me she had just done a course on adhd and she thought my son had this we went to see doctors who said my son learned very fast and picked things up easy there was a chemical in his brain that was releasing faster than it should and he needed to be constantly motivated and given things to master
    Some of his teachers were brilliant after this mind you i still got called up to school every few weeks with your son has done this and your son has done that although they kept him inline in class with extra work at play time the kids would wind him up till he blew then he always came of best as he was a tall boy so towered over his class mates it was the dinner lady who told me the other kids were winding him up so i used to say to the headmaster he must deal with the whole problem and not just the easy target.
    Anyway to cut a long story short the older my son got the more he learnt to keep his emotions in check he is now doing a levels and doing very well he came out of school with 15 gcse all above a c so please dont worry to much all kids are different and with the right guidance from us as parents will turn out to be fine young adults.

    We get ours done every two yrs ish. 5 in the ouse. We have a filter thing for clean water to get drained away. Costs use 125 to be emptied. Our water bill is £7 per month as we dont pay drainage etc.
    Please don't judge me. you couldn't handle half of what I've been through.
