Seat68 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Definitely one for this thread. I am well paid, I love my work, i am good at my work. But its bloody intense, not a free second and my commute at the moment is draining me. This consultancy is in Leamington till at least November and I am out of the house 14 hours. The weekends come round and I am so exhausted I dont want to do anything. That said I should button it as people work in back breaking jobs for a fraction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I could be quite bloody comfortable on £27.5k, with no need to pay for commuting or a mortgage.

I mean what do you think your other family members would expect? Maybe I’ve interpreted your opening post wrong, but I had the impression that the “throwing a grenade” essentially meant everyone wanted/expected a share.

tonyh29 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Got a letter from my council today because we’d put some garden rubbish in our bin ... seems Mrs h put some dead plants in a black bin bag about half way down the bin... presumably that means the bin men opened our bin and went through all our rubbish like MI6 looking for Novichok in Salisbury... apparently if I do it again they will section 46 me ... the bored part of me feels like writing a letter asking for the evidence that it was actually us that put the offending item into the bin ( I have an alibi seeing as I was out the country ) or I'll probably just do nothing and throw the letter in the bin and look at pictures of cats on Instagram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then ask them why they are wasting your money sending you letters about using your bins correctly. Then go on to the bit about them making false accusations. Drives me absolutely spare. My elderly neighbours decided against plastic bins when they got rolled out. I have stopped the bin men argueing with her in the street twice now and reminded them not to speak to elderly taxpayers who gave 40 years of service to the police force like a piece of **** because you refuse to take their rubbish because you claim it is in the wrong bags - even though for those without bins they are the correct - in fact ONLY bags. Ill health plagueing them including daily visits from medics/docs atm and yet council says no (even though their rules say yes!)- so wear a yellow jacket and speak to people like dirt appears to be the Cardiff way.

villa4europe Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) postcode lottery update - its not until the 29th that she finds out how much she was won my auntie text her friend "you're not going to **** believe this, she's only gone and won the postcode lottery, its not gone down well with everyone else" well she thought she had text her friend, she actually text my other auntie edit: something else, same auntie, there was a message shared between the 5 of them "im not sure whats happening yet so please dont tell anyone" she replied "yes no problem but if i was you i would tell x (other auntie)" she thought it was a private message on a side note i enver really paid too much attention to it before because i didnt really get how it all worked, sounds like everyone who has a postcode of DY10 1 who plays has won at least £1,000, maybe more, im still not 100% sure how the split works, i think £1m is shared between those in DY10 1, the £2m is then shared between people down the actual street, there are only 58 houses on her street, the £300k might be light Edited September 20, 2018 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly am I paying for? A mediocre TV service, a barely adequate music streaming service, some 'free' ebooks you've never heard of, no ads on the gaming stream site twitch.tv, and a load of other perks that are even less useful than that.
