A few months ago, there was a skip hire van outside dropping off a skip, which I assumed the council had requested. Within 1 day it was full to the brim. I managed to put 3 bin bags on top, which had general household rubbish in it. The reason I put this on there was, we have a bin cupboard the council collect the rubbish from. They had not collected any rubbish from us in nearly a month, the cupboard started to stink. It is situated outside, but under our stairs, so we could smell the rotting rubbish every time we went up or down the stairs. So anyway, Ithrew the rubbish on the skip, itlooked safe and sturdy and went back inside. The following daya man from the local council came knocking, with a letter addressed to me in his hands. Either a fox, cat or child, had been rummaging through the rubbish and all the bin bags which were in the skip were now ripped open. He found a load of mail addressed to different people and was knocking on doors to tell us to go and pick the rubbish up. He asked me if I had requested the skip, to which I replied no, I thought it had been requested by the council and he said no. Within 2 hours the skip was being hauled away, and all the rubbish which was on the floor was left. I went and gathered anything with my name and address on it, to prevent being a victim of fraud. Still, about 3 weeks later, there were letters and rubbish addressed to other people, scattered all over the floor. It's amazing how people just don't care, yet I bet if their identities were copied they'd care then, and demand somethingto be done about it.

I can't wait till I can drive, then I can take the recycling and rubbish to the centres myself. At Least that way it will be done weekly and we wont have a stinking bin cupboard and stairs. I recently passed my theory test with flying colours. I was so chuffed, I would have hated to have to do it again, I was so nervous. I practiced loads by doing an online test and downloading some hazard perception videos. The pass rate for the hazard perception is quite good, but the pass rate for the multiple choice questions is really high, I surprised myself that I passed. It must have been due to the practising on the online test. Hurray for online test sites! I hope I can pass the practical test first time. A lot of people I have spoken to about the practical test said, the most nerve racking thing about it is having the bloke sat there with his little clip board writing things down. I can see why. I can just imagine myself on the practical testtrying to look over his shoulder to see what he's writing down. A lot of things are done by computer now, wouldn't it be cool if the practical test was done via the computer. We'd have a simulation car to drive - obviously nota moving one though. That would be cool!
