Name 1 bill you really really hate?

Gas and Electric for me.
I have switched and switched again. Each time the bill goes down - for about 2 months, then goes up and costs me more than before. Switched again about 3 months ago - bill went down from £135 to £104 :mad:

I'm a filthy student, so I'm not responsible for too many bills yet. The one I hate at the moment is my mobile phone bill. Usually about £50 a month and they won't let me change it in any way- stuck till January :mad:

In lincolnshire they have increased what we pay for police by nearly 80%!

Completely irrelevant but you must be from the same area as me and are you a Thundercats fan by any chance?

Got to be Council tax - I pay mine to Walsall MBC and all they spend it on is doing up the town centre and the police. The town centre is redeveloped every 2 years and my nearest police station is 5 miles away. Last year after a 999 they took 20 min to arrive beacuse they had to travel to get to me because our other police station is 10 miles away (sorry i'd pay them in brass washers)

The bill I hate is the bill for something I've bought stupidly and wasted my money on, and to be honest it's the bill that is all my own fault.

I think i'd rather pay £200 a year to have my water treated than come into contact with all the water bourne diseases that third world countries suffer!!

Totaly agree - walking miles to the nearest diseased waterhole - then paying the landowner to draw some water (if there is any), carrying it home miles, catching cholera and worms or boiling it for hours.... and sewers happy to pay so don't get flooded with !!!!!!. Safe water would be a priority in most parts of the world and we pay a tiny proportion of our incomes for it relative to it's necessity...

My credit card bill. Utter stupidity on my part letting it get so high.

Mine's council tax too (sorry Bunny - I would happily pay it if the majority of it was for firemen ).

For the last few months, I haven't been able to safely walk DS to school as they are replacing the street lights (replacing them with fewer, dimmer lights in a high crime area :rolleyes:....possibly more environmentally friendly, but more likely just cost-cutting). They have dug up all the pavements, and have put barriers up to form a walkway for pedestrians, but it's not wide enough for a pram!

So I have to walk on the outside of the walkway, for about half a mile down a busy road, with numerous blind bends, with a pram and a child who gets freaked out by traffic and has a habit of running off.

Cars fly past us so fast....I'm sure there is going to be an accident one day.

And yet apparently they are spending our money doing this for our benefit. :rolleyes:

The bin men come once a fortnight, and god forbid if your bin lid wont quite close, because 'that's overloaded, we're not emptying that'.

Our police station has been closed, and we have a few of those community whatever-they're-calleds but I haven't seen a real policeman around here since my neighbour shot at me with a pellet gun (they told the police it was just a mud gun, and the police believed them, despite the pellet in our house and the lack of mud :mad:).

And yes I have got pmt today!
