Thanks for the clarification ladies, I suppose that figures. Although I bet the price doesn't go down if there's a good harvest.

This is the first year we've had to pay to have our garden waste bins emptied, £40 a year. There's been a lot of opposition, people threatening to dump it on waste ground or to put it in with the general waste. There is of course the option to take it to the tip but not everyone can do that. My quibble was the fact that they only started in April, whereas previously it was March. My bin had been crammed full for months and I was having to stack the extra in the garden. As soon as it was emptied last week I half filled it again!

What dreadful news from Sydney:

BBC News - 'It was carnage' - Eyewitnesses describe Sydney stabbing horror

What on earth is happening in the world, these sort of attacks seem to be becoming much more prevalent.

Well here we are at the end of the week and your posts have only just appeared in my notifications.
I always look in “ Unread posts”.
There has been nothing until just now.

Don't you click on 'New Replies ' Viktoria? I find that the easiest way. Any threads you've contributed to will show on the list if there are new posts. Of course you won't find the new diary threads at the beginning of the week until you've posted on it. I find the easiest thing is to look at the Stay Safe board on Mondays to see if anyone has posted a new thread.

Thanks Roobarb! Got it.
We can always rely on you to let us know when a good genealogy book deal pops up 

My pleasure 

Just click the link in my post Viktoria, it'll take you to the BBC news article.
