Every Friday morning T.Mobile text me with the thrilling information that if I do a £10 top up on a Friday I can have free £10 worth of texts all w.end. Then a couple of hours later they text me the exact same text. Just in case I didn't see the first two, a bit later they text me again :evil: So far today I've had 7 items of junk mail through the door. Four takeaway menus from restaurants, someone offering me Pilate classes, someone offering me his services as a decorator and a local estate agent telling me he has somebody that wants to buy my house now :shock: On top of this I just had a cold call on the telephone from the National Compensation Board, whatever that is? which I didn't listen to because I hung up.

 

How can I rid myself of all this junk that insists on coming into my life :evil::evil:

Not quite all, but thanks for this. I think we registered with the no

unwanted phone calls ages ago, but it doesn't seem to stop them

arriving. 99% of our junk mail is delivered by hand by small local

companies, I'm loathe to put a 'No Junk Mail' sign up because it

seems so naff :roll: I did suggest to DH that we made a second

letter box in our front door labelled 'Junk Mail' this would feed directly

to a shredder and we would have instant nest box material :wink:

Obviously there is no way of turning off T.Mobile, I will just have to

live with it all :(

we get at least 1 local takeaway menu thru our door every day, sometimes 2 or 3! It's driving me mad but like you, I don't want to use one of those naff signs.

 

Such a waste of paper and ink as they just go straight into the recycling.

 

Just something we have to live with and try not let it irritate us I s'pose :roll::lol:

I read in a bill bryson novel (can't remember which one) that he tore up junk mail and sent it back to the sender in their own pre paid envelope :lol:

 

maybe someone local should collect all the menus and deliver them back to the takeaway! I'm not volunteering and I doubt anyone would but can you imagine their faces! :lol:

Me too!

 

I always do it. Make sure you remove you name and address first though. :roll::wink:

 

I do this too, if I can be bothered. I wish I had the nerve to remove all the unnecessary packaging at the supermarket checkout and leave it there. Mind you it's a bit redundant now because I shop online, changed my life :)
