Birthday cake in the oven and smelling pretty darned good, ironing done (there wasn't much), kitchen bin emptied and cleaned, washing thrown in the drier (no time for trying to get it dry outside and no space for the airer inside today), and rat bait thrown into the ceiling. We knew there were going to be rats thanks to the maize (still not cut) and we both spotted two together yesterday. All these years getting the rodent population down and now we have to start again.
Yep, mica, it's a massive increase. The council have all sorts of reasons why, the rubbish collectors contract finished and another is taking over so rubbish collection is more expensive is just one of them. I feel for those in town as they will have the biggest increase. At least we don't get charged for rubbish collection (pay that ourselves), water and sewerage. Although we pay $520 to have our septic tank emptied and $50 a fortnight for rubbish collection. When our bore needed work, that cost us $2500. So, we pay in other ways.
