I would just like to say

A gloomy day 'ere but quite mild and it won't be long before the rain comes.
Sadly, the threat of the magpie gang has caused the wee one to want not to go and sleep outside to have his early morning kip. He is genuinely scared of them and cannot get his pal to get out of bed before 9am to go out and protect him.

Don't get me started on Magpies. Little b'stards have a field day every week when people put their bin bags out. Looks like downtown L.A. afterwards.

They 'did' mine last week - first time for me! They have suddenly gone into overdrive and are causing havoc everywhere. I live in the country so the binmen did clear away the mess before it scattered too far. This week the bag will be put into a bin with a locked-down lid and I will tie that to the fence. What I'd really like to do is set up an armed ambush and shoot the lot.

Morning.
Been round the m25 this morning & even had time to stop for a sausage/bacon/egg sarnie.
This sarnie makes up for the crap nights sleep I had and the delays I will encounter later.

I would love to ambush the little gits, but I don't think the people at the bus top next to where I put the bags would be well pleased with a 280lb grizzly adams looking bloke coming at them tooled up and yelling his head off

No Wokinghams too posh to have big colourful plastic boxes outside everyone's manicured lawns.
We prefer scummy blue bags.

I've another house I'm fixing up a short distance across town, it's in another borough so has wheelie bins, the boundary actually runs halfway down the road so one side of the road has wheelie bins and the other side has blue bags.
I swear all the people that showed no aptitude at school were handed to the local council to take on.

Hissing down here

The rain has gone away from me Island and we've just got cloudy skies with a few blue patches now.
Time for a cuppa me thinks.

I decided to clean the cooker this morning three hours but quite happy with the result
Also managed to clear a cupboard too!
I am hoping to get the house ready for sale by the end of January

You thought wrong. Blue ones for recycling and black ones for 'rubbish'. We get given 2 rolls of black ones and if you use 'em all before next year then you buy your own. Blue ones we get four rolls of them but can go and pick up extra ones if you run out. They are collected on alternative weeks in a little truck but are limited to putting 2 black bags only out but there is no limit on the blue ones. Over long holiday periods, like Christmas, we get some leeway - but not much!

Just been ont phone to me broadband provider to reduce the telephone line and broadband package to the minimum tariffs to try and save some more each month.
I currently pay £57 / month for a telephone line and 40Mbit broadband connection so hopefully I should be able to reduce that to about £25 a month.

Every little helps

There is no way that I could either transport all those out to the other side of the gate and I would not be walking down to put rubbish inside each container every day.

for most id think wheeling a bin out is easier than carrying bags
