We've to order replacements online, but go to council offices to make payment, before they'll replace. Unable to order replacement(s) and pay at the same time.

Down to cutting costs!

I didn't realise some have to pay. A few weeks ago our lid of our green bin fell off (when it was being emptied) so Mr Summerdays used a length of hose to secure it, but the binmen saw the following week and had replacement hinges in the cab and sorted it. Then the bag for cardboard was ripped so logged online together with needing a replacement kitchen waste bin (due to a crack), and both appeared in the front garden in the following week.

No direct cost to me (obviously I pay council tax, and we have to pay for the green bin collection service here).

Err there are none.

It was a celebration of the wild orchids in the area and a huge wholly honest plug for the hosts organic and expensive wine . Guess which one we paid more attention too

Not to mention the young trainee Sommelier....

Paying for replacements is bad enough. The system they use to let you order replacements is worse.

I'm under orders to go to A&E in the morning

Do you know, sometimes you just have a perfect day. I slept in this morning, had a leisurely breakfast, went on a 22 mile ride, had dinner sent over from a friend then spent the evening sorting out my Guide Accounts. I am one happy Nicky today.

At first I thought it was in metres but it's still over 400 metres climbing in all. Best not to tackle it in the heat of the day. Mind, you could build up a good appetite and thirst for the evening meal...

Well I hope that you do then. Dare I ask what have you done?

 

[classic33]

What you done?

Oh dear.... I'm hoping it's not too bad the fact you aren't going there immediately.....

Exactly!!!
I have a double length route with twice the climbing for an early morning spin :-/

The gradients are keeping me sharp and the descents are a delight :-)
