It's not that I don't want to put my bins away, or anyone else's if I get home and they're still out. It's more that I don't feel the need to do it immediately they're emptied. It makes me a bit uncomfortable tbh when I'm sitting eating my Coco pops in my pants and the neighbours f
king about with my bins outside my window! Just leave them! I'll do it when I leave for work FFS??
Most normal people would use a bowl. And they hold the milk in better, too. king about with my bins outside my window! Just leave them! I'll do it when I leave for work FFS??
(I bought some about a year ago but they're nowhere near as good as I remember

theres a small development of townhouses across the street from me and no4s bins have been out on the side of the road since we moved 3 and a half months ago! Now that is odd!
Would it be worth knocking on the door of no4, in a neighbourly spirit or would that be considered "odd" Not really my "neighbours" but a family that we met on holiday when I was about 15/16 and were on the next plot to us on the campsite, temporary neighbours?
which I've just been reminded of in the "won a car thread"
We were on holiday in Northern France, near to St Nazaire, not too far from Nantes.
We'd driven from home in Sussex, got the ferry from Porstmouth to Cherbourg and driven on from there.
We then met a family who lived down in Devon. But instead of them driving to Plymouth and getting the Plymouth - Roscoff ferry and driving for probably 5 hours max, they had driven from near Plymouth, to Dover, got the ferry to Calais and then driven from there. Towing a caravan the entire way. all because one daughter "got a bit seasick" so they took the shortest possible ferry journey to avoid a bit of seasickness but spent nearer 15 hours in the car to do so.
