I think the advice re non-fraidy pants person to move said pot

well away from the house for now is very sound

Freddie, it was only last week or so, that (with the Rates Notice) I received a voucher for the tip.  Valid for one load only up to 200kg, bring voucher and proof of residency when tipping.

 

Maybe a quick call to your Council, you might have just missed out on the timing with its issue due to your recent purchase, but you may still be eligible.

Wow thanks Deb, here I was thinking I was so clever thinking of this idea. I will call our local council tomorrow.

Katy's not a fraidy pants she could do that herself, or she could cook them

Beetle pie sounds yum

Good luck with that Freddie.

Our council is broke, you know! You only have to look at the state of the roads to know that.

I have lived in a couple of towns that sent out a tip freebie voucher, never seen one here though,

Cochineal is crushed up beetles, freddie

Evening everyone 🙂

 Freddie I love your tiles, great choice 

No free tip tickets or hard rubbish collections here, very reasonable tip fees

Freddie!!! 

Ewwwwwwwww 

I ended up calling head office of Carpet Craft/Court in Vic they are a franchise. They are going to contact this arrogant owner of our local store and make a few suggestions to him so we will see what happens next. They are not impressed.

B3 take note if you are looking for floor coverings avoid avoid.

That is a poor attitute from the local Carpet Court freddie, if they are just leaving you hanging without any fix or replacement.

Actually the day before this vinyl was laid I was at the Bank, a friend is a teller there I happen to get her I told her I was having some vinyl laid blah blah blah she asked who was doing it when I told her  she said she had carpet laid by them and they had a join in the doorway of their formal loungeroom. She wasn't impressed.
