Ali, is that for deposits or scrap recycling value?
Here, all cans and bottles have 10 cent deposit, including aluminium, glass and plastic. Is that what you have, or is it mostly aluminium for the scrap value? There are roads in Victoria and New South Wales that have a good thirty year accumulation of rubbish along them.

Maybe all the retirees up there haven't got the coordination to drive and lob litter out the window at the same time.

Maybe her internet connection went down and she doesn't know how to fix it with her parents out of town. Did anyone speak to her on the phone recently?

Dana said she can't get ahold of her...so I figured that was by phone.
Hmmmm. |

Here I am!
Everything is falling down around my ears at home. A power cut on Monday morning knocked out the modem. Before I've always just called TalkTalk and they've reset it. This time it didn't work. The support staff was amazed when I read out the serial number - it is no longer under warranty. Quel surprise, we got it in 2007. So I contacted Mum (for permission) and my bro (for advice) and they signed us up for another year and are sending us another "router". Which will arrive in 5-10 working days. As well as that my phone battery died. Mum and I share a charger, after I managed to hoover mine up. Our shared charger is therefore in Lanzarote. So I couldn't access Dana's mobile number from my mobile. I couldn't access anyone else's number from my Contact Details folder on the Cellar. And I couldn't let any other Dwellars know via email either!!! I have addresses saved in a Word document, but that's it. I can't access from work as it is an educational environment. Hotmail, the Cellar, eBay etc are barred. And now the boiler has packed up too. So no heating and no hot water. Grrrr. It's more an inconvenience than a real problem, but it's the one I can't solve and the one that will stress the 'rents out most when they get home. I'm at my bro's at the moment. Wonder of wonders he has an old charger I can use, so my phone is on charge as I type. And I've requisitioned his PC for at least a couple hours. Hello! |

Sounds like it would have been the worst possible time to come down after all :p
[eta] Once I'd got over the disappointment of realising I was too ill to come down anyway and making that decision, I started to pull out the positives. Not having to bugger about with Carrot's bedtime routine in the first month is no bad thing really.

Like I said before, I didn't think you would want to leave Carrot.
And I mean that in a totally practical way. You are establishing rules and routines, trust and a sense of family. I felt bad enough when I got my boys on a Friday night and then left to go to work Saturday 09.00-17.00. But at least they had a chance to explore the flat together and I was home for the evening and night. Diz had a hard time adjusting, but he had Dylan to make him brave and to snuggle up with. And he was already a year old. Really sorry to hear about your flare up. That sounds horrible chick. Please take good care of yourself. |
