Just did a bit of spring cleaning on my recurring payments and got rid of more than £600 per year of stuff that I barely interact with.
I can guess your age from this post

Manager set me a challenge. Needed to reduce 250 bags of crisps as date is next week and get them sold before I finished my shift. This was done halfway through the shift.
All sold out with 20 mins to go!
I didn’t buy any.

Signing up to the next round and a packet of crisps.

No I have started to code check. Waste has gone down since I started doing it. Think it’s my presentation of displaying the reduced items and rotating stock. Got some lazy colleagues who put out food with two days longer shelf life at the top/front.
Spending less time at customer services and checkouts as some customers have been aggressive towards me and one grabbed my arm tightly that I have a bruise there. He’s been banned.
There’s no need to be rude, aggressive and impatient towards shop staff. It has No positive gains from it
Remember seeing rumours about this stuff awhile ago on the darker parts of the internet:
According to the stuff going around there was people buying baby monkeys for $4-5 which would be sent sedated in a cardboard box via courier! and they'd torture it to death then order another one
absolutely sickening. Glad something seems to be being done about it.
Global network of sadistic monkey torture exposed by BBC
A year-long investigation uncovers a sadistic abuse network stretching from Indonesia to the US.

There are 50-100 jackdaws mobbing a red kite over my house as I write. They've chased off a few buzzards in the last few days, too.
They've been very noisy and territorial recently, so assume they are protecting nests/ fledglings.

LMAO, now it’s started raining there’s a wood pigeon trying to have a bath off the road. It’s almost rolling over in the puddles before lifting its wings to let the rain in.
There's a thrush has been using the cat's water bowl for regular baths thus week.
This seems a tad risky.

This instant and moment I'm currently laying on my bed listening to music, missing the ability to dance around the living room like a loon 
Bruising in my back has decreased but still dealing with piriformis syndrome. Still off work this week but will have to speak to boss about reduced hours next week seeing as I can't sit properly still. He has actually emailed this morning to check in with me and suggest the same. Very lucky to have a good boss.
Just want to get back to normal life again now *fingers crossed*

Get better soon, @secretspy, that sounds miserable.
My insomnia is playing up again. Barely slept last night and feel like death warmed up.

Why do (mainly elderly) customers insist on going to the checkouts all at once for a 20 min period on Wednesday mornings? I refused to jump on as saw two of them the source of my panic attacks. These customers have zero idea that their behaviour is causing us stress. Just look at the general merchandise and clothing for a few minutes and then you don't have to queue as much. I did this when I was shopping before the days of self scan and scan n go.
Had a letter supposedly from the council about a proposed Residents Parking Permits Scheme.
Included is a map showing shaded areas where they plan for this to apply.
Large parts of this shaded map aren't even adopted roads managed by the council so someone seems to not have done their homework.
The survey URL is for Smartsurvey.co.uk (dead link btw probably to make it more effort for people to say they don't want it )and the proposal on behalf of the council is being carried out by "eljay research"
since they are unaware parts of their shaded map aren't erven adopted roads I am assuming this company gets paid from the council like a finders fee for every area they can get a parking tax implemented.
how bizarre.
I emailed the eljay research email address asking if they are aware they want to implement a parking permit scheme on whats private property and how that works.
looks like a one man band company lol... check how crap the website is http://eljayresearch.com/
