    Happy mother's day but is it a public holiday?

    I loaded the trailer up with a load of concrete rubble and went to dump it at the local tip, got there and the gates were padlocked. sign says they are closed on public holidays, but since when did mothers day become a public holiday? A few other tradies pulled up with trailers full of stuff to dump and weren't too happy. So I got onto the phone and rang another tip, 10kms away, they were open. Apart from being a quagmire, the yard stuff help unload your stuff, ( now that's a first and what great customer service!), they also asked if I wanted free mulch as they give it to their customers for nicks!, the other tip charges

    ok, it's nice to go and see your mum on mothers day, (but we should all see them more often and not just leave it to that one day) at least update the web site and say you are going to be closed would have been a good move.

    Hopefully you spent some quality time with your mother by getting her to help load the rubble onto the trailer!!!
