Gave tumble dryer a good clean out.
In all the year of owning and renting a house I can't ever remember having coat hangers in the hall

It's not just the work, it's the taking away of all the stuff too and they charge an arm and a leg for commercial garden waste. He was one of the cheaper quotes I got so it's clearly the going rate.
Yep. Many people have no idea how much properly disposing of waste costs. Probably the same people who moan about fly tipping as well.

None of ours gave them (house built in 96), I always thought it was more of an older house thing.

Harvested my chilli plant
Made some soup
Put some Xmas lights on a small tree out the front
Cleaned out the chickens
Cleaned the log burner, loaded it up and filled the kindling bucket and log basket
Then temporarily hung the Xmas wreath the Mrs made

Its not commercial garden waste though is it……you can take it to you local dump for free or in our case upto 4 bags a week will be taken by the council for free as part of your council tax payments.
as far as i can see you been ripped off for that amount of money just to cut grass and trima few bushes. Just my opinion of course
Of course it’s commercial/business/trade waste. You as an individual can take your own waste, a business can’t, it’s trade waste and they have to pay. If you got rid of it yourself, sure you’d get away with it but that defeats the purpose of paying someone else to do it for you.
The ‘recycling centre’ staff where I am know all the traders in the local areas and they always have the card machine ready before they have got out their vehicles. I’m fairly sure they need a permit from the environment agency to move it from your house to the place of disposal.

And thats what im saying….why pay someone to take it away, when you can bag it and take it yourself for free or get the council to take it for free……thats why £45 an hour is a rip off, its not rocket science is it
get them to cut it all down and bag it, if thats what you want. But paying for removal is just a rip off

Getting close to completing the en-suite. Fitted the new radiator and a few more of the painted bits over the weekend.
Funnily enough I don't live near you and my council has different rules. And he didn't just cut the grass and trim some bushes.
What part of he was one of the cheapest quotes and it's the going rate don't you understand? I chose to pay him to do the job, I am happy with what I paid and the job and it's something that would have taken me all day to do. Not to mention I don't have all of the equipment for cutting back our various trees. I have a full time job and a pregnant mrs plus a dog to walk so funnily enough I haven't got the time to spend all day in the garden and make multiple runs to the tip.
I always thought it was a gimmick at first but gave i it a go (a roll of it was cheap) to see if it will save me some green.

Spent yesterday afternoon de-plugging built in kitchen appliances and wiring them direct to the face plates so they don’t need PAT tested.

It's annoying isn't it, my mother in law wanted some planters making over the summer, but by the time i priced up wood it seemed to be cheaper to just buy them!
Yep! Even my brother who loves to help and is a dab hand at DIY has moved into the 'buy it if it's 80% there, then customise it' mindset. Makes sense tbf. The IT world is finally catching up to that fact too
