Anyhoo, in other news - are there any budding gardeners amongst us here? Looking for some ideas for plants to stick in the front yard.
Rules:
1) No flowers
2) Must be drought resistant because there's a fair chance the only water they'll get is from the sky.
3) Would prefer natives
4) This thread is useless without pics otherwise i'll have NFI what you're on about.
@Q. to thread?

Apart from hiring/borrowing a trailer, and taking it all to the dump, has anyone got any suggestions?
If cutting the glass out, what would we use?
Councils apparently wont take any hard rubbish items with glass, either.

Well they asked me who mine was, and I said it used to be Mila Kunis, but she got old, so now its Chloë Grace Moretz,
They called me a creep coz she's young but shes 18, so all clear
Has anyone else actually discussed this with the missus, just in case?

Here's the letter - I tried to make it as inoffensive as I could, but I was pretty f***ing annoyed:
Hi,
I'm just writing in regard to a piece of salmon I purchased from the deli on June 11, which turned out to be off. I came in today (June 12) to return it, and was given another piece of salmon in exchange. The second piece was smaller than the first and cost less; I was not offered a refund at all, but when I pointed out that the second piece of salmon was cheaper, I was refunded the balance.
Anyway, the main reason I'm writing is to suggest that in future, if people purchase items that are spoiled or not fresh, they should be entitled to a full refund on the item in question as well as the offer to exchange it for a fresh item. I was surprised that I was not offered a refund, because it was an inconvenience to me that the fish was off. If I'd eaten it I might have been sick as a result; as it was, I didn't have anything else to make dinner with because it was late and the shops were shut. Actually, that's probably part of the reason why I've got a bee in my bonnet about this salmon. Because I had to have broccoli on its own for dinner and it sucked so much. (That's not Foodland's fault, that's my fault. For being slack about grocery shopping. But complaint letters seem like a logical next step when you're in a glum mood from having eaten what looks like a miniature bonsai forest for dinner the night before.)
Sorry about this - I don't like writing complaint letters, and it doesn't reflect how I feel about this Foodland in general, because I reckon it's a great place to shop. I've always thought the prices and service were excellent, and the woman I spoke to at the checkout desk today who handled this matter was lovely. And in about ten years of shopping here, it's the first and only time I've ever bought anything that wasn't fresh. So odds are it'll probably never happen again. But if it does, I'd like to be offered a refund. That's all.
Cheers,
Kate

I haven't sent it yet - should I? Or should I just go back down and ask to speak to the manager? Either way, they'll know it was me who complained. I could just not complain, but I don't want to, because I think I should have been entitled to a bloody refund.
