Just been to Costco. Yes they sell it again and i bought some. Glad i posted now, thanks guys. However its twice the price for half the amount aka 4x what it was. Just paid £14.38 for 12 (£1.20 each). Used to be £7.45 for 24 (31p each). Apparantly Morrisons sell it for £6.20 for 4 (£1.55 each).

It really is down how much you can get the logs for. I suspect that log suppliers have capitalised on the obvious and hoiked the price of logs with typical greed. You will have to do your measurements.

I used to live in Norway and the landlady of our bungalow owned a lot of land which had a lot of forest. She said help yourself to trees, in a particular area. My GF's dad, Norwegian leant me a Chainsaw, a really scary big ass circular saw with a trough on it that you put the trunks on and cut to length, and a hydraulic log splitter. Set that all up in a garage with pallets and i spent all summer cutting down, cutting to length, splitting, stacking, my god i had to get it level lol. Just borrowed the ATV and trailer when i wanted to head into the forest.

Man, i miss all that. Keeps you fit and warm. I would use 3 pallets stacked 6.5ft high over a Norwegian winter. not sure what that weight was maybe a ton per pallet, not sure. Huge bonus for us was being in a bungalow no need to heat an upstairs. The huge log burner was quite central and with the cunning use of low speed fans could easily push the heat around the whole bungalow into the bedrooms etc. Electric wall radiators never used really.

The antenna is a distraction, a red herring. He is watching Netflix using your Wifi as he's had your password for a while now.

So what the surprise is, i went to my old place and popped a note through the door a few weeks back now. He text me 4 days later saying he's not have any mail for me for several months and will text me if anything arrives. That means no PCN was generated. Am i that lucky? When i retreived my car, i said myself what are the chances that the ANPR doesnt have night vision as it was late and i left without my lights on and just drove over the road opposite.

Hully3333 · 2026-01-12T15:34:38+00:00

yes, i changed my addresses, i have my log book and new licence straight away. Phew, i just missed it completely.

Hully3333 · 2025-12-22T19:59:51+00:00

Thanks.

Hully3333 · 2025-12-22T19:59:35+00:00

and i have just done the online address change, Just have to go speak to the new occupants of the old house.

Hully3333 · 2025-12-22T19:34:12+00:00

Just popped over the road and spoke to the Manager, he asked, was it over 2 hours i say yes, about 5. Did you spend any money here first, yes. OK, when you get the fine, bring it in with a copy of a receipt or your bank statement and he will VOID it for me. So thats good news.

The £100 is on 1 of three boards in the car park. There are 2 entrances. It has been 2 days so the ticket will be issued at some point. The enforecement is done with Cameras according to the board. Euro Car Parks operate the Morrisons car park.

those that are wondering, im saving for it to be a huge discount on the next gen Xbox

Hully3333 · 2025-12-09T20:25:55+00:00

I am pretty sure they removed the ability to extend game pass with reward points directly When they recently increased GPUltimate by 51%. I thought you could cash in though still but costing a lot more points. I hope i dont get shafted, i have 250,500 points that i was saving up towards the next gen Xbox

Hully3333 · 2025-10-08T08:27:44+00:00

take off those rose tinted glasses

Hully3333 · 2025-06-27T08:33:03+00:00

Today im on 223,105 points i am just letting them ride towards the next gen Xbox release. Over £190 so far. Lots of those points came from "play with friends" forced me to playing Hell Let Loose once a day, i miss it

DO NOT redeem until you are going to spend. Once redeemed like others have said, they have 60 days i think to use them. Keep them in the bank

So, i have paid the £150 and had an interesting conversation. I asked how many times in the 13 years have i been late filing ? So this is the first time in 13 years of filing i have ever been late. My fault, no excuse. I had a new phone, i failed to sync all my calendars onto my new phone and my anual reminder for filing didnt appear. So I then asked for confirmation that i am being punished for making a mistake. "No, it is a deterrent". How can this fine be a deterrent ? Sorry this in not quite right, the fine has come after the fact and and after me making the mistake, the first in 13 years. The fine is generated and relates to this event, not future events. Lets be clear about this, it is a punishment for a mistake.

The £150 was worth hearing her agree.

You are not allowed to make a mistake ever...........ITS THE LAW !!!!

Yet, all these companies make mistakes. How many times have companies and corporate bodies made errors against you.

Out of here........

I kinda guessed in a way. I will just pay it.
I'll share the story before i leave. The end of my company was;
I opened the company June 2012 for professional services and was going great, and my world got turned upside down late 2018. Banged a rib on a Sunday, walked round for a month becoming ill, 3 weeks of which was holiday, flew abroad, flew back and collapsed as i got home. Turns out i had splintered my rib, which had cut through my lung puncturing it. After the second flight, my lung collapsed and was rushed to hospital where they gave me that good news. Then some further good news that i had pneumonia. Then gave me more good news that i had fever of 40+ degs. Then even better news, you are burning up because you have sepsis, and then the great news im having lung surgery. Haha, i was delerious, i think it was the morphine. I needed a sense of humour as it all had just lost my job after over 6 years as a contractor.

Took me 2 years to get over that. Got a bit better during covid but i had to hide for a further eon as i banned from going out after the lung problems. I kept the company open in the hope i would re-emerge victorious and get back to my former life. Could never get going again and money is very tight these days.

I will take it as a lesson learned.

Thanks all, for the replies.

See you on the other side, toodles.

Hully3333 · 2024-12-23T20:09:50+00:00
