    🤦🏼‍♂️ ffs I was meant to call and cancel that dodgy newspaper thing, but I forgot to and they charged me 18 dollars for it. That’s not that much, but I literally just signed up to read a single article, which wasn’t even a free trial they still charged me like 2 dollars for it. :/

    They don’t even give you a heads up, hell, not even a courtesy “wait until days end”, they take their fee at exactly midnight, and that’s the end of it. Absolute scumbags.

    On the plus side, if anybody has any articles you want from the Wimmera mail times, hmu and I’ll send you the content. Unfortunately there’s not even that much content in most of them, it’s usually just a couple of sentences about something mundane.

    18 dollars Jesus Christ I’m an idiot

      You’re not an idiot, you just forgot. Free trials plan on doing that to people.

      Ps. Not really relevant but be careful of renting to own appliances or phones too, you end up paying much higher than the actual cost of the item

      Nah you’re not an idiot. I kept forgetting to cancel my Xbox game pass sub for months 😅

      Idk if it will help, but if you want to read an article that’s paywalled, I use the website 12ft ladder (just Google it). You can paste the article URL into this site and it will remove paywalls and the like. It isn’t 100%, but it works often enough :)

        I did try to get the article open with 12ft but it didn’t work. And unfortunately the WMT was the only one with an article on what I was looking for :/

        But thank you, I appreciate the rec. 12ft is ♥️
