Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

same here, you really appreciate it after a few bad days

[j*oono]

It must be the day for it.  I've done bed sheets, kitchen stuff and now I'm on to dark clothing.  

My cleaning out has not gone well.  I need the owners of all this junk to give me the ok.  I put an old broken down lawn mower out and that has already been taken.  If they had waited on for a bit they could have had one of the old whipper snippers that doesn't work any more too.

I posted a few days ago about my sister and her throw-outs j*oono.  She was sprung because she did NOT wait for the OK (she would never have got it anyway)

Hi Joono, we must get rid of some junk soon too, I have to ring the council to get them to take it away. We've started a pile that we keep adding things to

funny the things people take, last tme we put some furniture, it wass all gone within 30 mins, & I'm talking big heavy things. I had to ring the council to cancel the pick up because they took the whole lot 

[mtnlane]

How often will they do a pick up from you Deb?  We only have one junk collection a year but 3 green waste ones.

I found out only last week that our recycling bins are now being collected weekly instead of fortnightly ...... I thought people were mistaking the collection dates lol.  

[j*oono]

It's good isn't it.  I'm glad it's taken straight away.  

However, I just went out there and I am pretty angry with whoever took the lawn mower.  They left an old tyre in it's place and the council won't pick up tyres so I'm stuck with it.  All I can hope now is that the lawn mower sits rusting away in their garden for the next ten years 

[debra9275]

we can call the council out twice a year Laney, I liked it much better when everyone did it at the same time though

we have a little household rubbish bin, weekly collection, a huge recycle bin ( nearly as big as me) and a green waste bin. the recycle and green waste goes in consectutive weeks

[debra9275]

yeah that's a bit rough Joono when people dump other stuf

[mtnlane]

Charming j*oono - aren't there some revolting people around.  

Could you phone your local council and explain what happened and see whether they will make some sort of exception because of the circumstances?

I have seen some others around the traps somewhere - perhaps they might like it for their collection 

They could either build on their collection or make one of those ghastly, revolting swan things to sell on ebay

I'm heading outdoors to work on my tan a bit while I can

see you later!
