Hmmmm......this is fun

Blue bin glass, plastic and metal collected every two weeks

Brown bin for paper and cardboard collected every four weeks

Green bin non-recyclable collected every two weeks

Grey bin, £30pa, for garden waste collected every two weeks

Have to admit I have this all planned in to my Google calendar with alerts!!!!

 

[roadrash]

green bin= garden waste
brown bin= plastic and tin cans
blue bin =paper
black bin =general waste
emptied on a two week rota

We have bins, 3 of them and they can be heavy to pull down 75 yards of loose gravel drive.

I had an E-Mail from the postcode lottery yesterday, I've won! I've just got to figure out what to spend the tenner on.

Come on then, how rich are you??? This happy, or this happy

Morning chaps. Chilly but brighrt here so it might be an OK day today.

Morning - lovely, bright and blue here in sunny South Yorkshire (or the West Riding in old money). Abbie Dewhurst reckons it's going to be 19 degrees and dry

Up nice and early to enjoy it and am meeting up with three friends for a day out which will almost certainly involve bacon at some point.

Morning all. The last couple of mornings I've been waking up with a stiff neck, it's alright this morning safe enough to get the bike out.

I can, more or less, decide when to come into the office these days and when I do come in I get paid travelling expenses for the commute. The office is on the north side of the Toon, within easy reach of some beautiful Northumberland countryside.

Today the bike is in the back of the car, I'm in the office for a couple of hours until the traffic dies down then I'll scarper into Northumberland for a day on the bike and work will have paid for my diesel (mostly). Partial retirement is fab (though probably not as good as full retirement).

It is going to be a lovely day here. We have sunshine and already i can feel the warmth even though it is still early. A bimble will definitely be called for later.

Hello everyone. Rubbish night's sleep

Club weekend away starts tomorrow. First priority is to plan my route to Grasmere, second priority is to pack my bag for tonight's bag drop for the those of us who are riding up.

MOT day with the practice nurse at the surgery. Bloods two weeks ago and no "please call the surgery" message so hopefully all is good.

Lack of sleep seems to be something most of us on thos thread suffer from.
