    Jellytots does your LA not send you an email early one am to tell you your bin is due out for the next am.  Mine does & it very useful especially if you are prone to forgeting which day of the week it is & which particular bin is due out.

    No, they don't, they really won't do anything here unless they can charge you. They are a bunch of money wasting tory leaning knobs here!

  • Work was again awful but I did get the marking done during the day so that is something. 

    Need to do some more work this weekend. New boss is interesting.  Didn't get in till late tonight, but had fish and chips which was LOVELY. 

    Have been paid but nothing moves until the 1st. 

    need to go and do the work now. It will be better if I do that. Right? 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Sorry to hear that @Buffythedebtslayer   Just make sure your next residence is somewhere more congenial.  :/

    I actually don't think they can charge as it would be discrimination.
