    I have a funny story!

    Over the weekend, I sent a Tweet to my borough council about my block of flats not having their bins emptied since December 21st. And attached a photo.
    Yesterday afternoon, I get a tweet from a BBC journalist asking me to give him a ring, which I do. We have a very interesting chat, he takes my name and asks permission to use my photo in a report he's putting together. I say yes and think no more of it.
    About an hour later, another BBC journo phones, and asks if they can come and visit me at 7:10 tomorrow morning! Obviously I said yes. You can't turn the BBC down. :)

    Not sure what they plan to do, but I'm sure it'll be an interesting experience! I'll report back and let you know what happens!

    Oh, and this is NSD 6!

    Let us know how you get on and if there is a link on the regional news website.

    No spending today (and none planned for the rest of the week) so NSD #8 safely under lock and key and 8 in a row.
