i live on an estate so my rubbish gets collected every week x

I live on an estate (a nice one!), and ours is every two weeks.
Brown bin for garden waste every other wednesday.
Grey bin for Card, paper, tin and glass - every other tuesday.
Green bin for regular carp - every other tuesday.
And we have very strict bin police - theres always reports in the local paper of people not having their bins collected because they were an inch open!, there was food waste (a potato) in the garden bin etc etc.

Thanks SAMI for the pm - i'll have a google.

And seeing as this is a Money Saving site - a money saving tip!
DON'T waste money buying a baby bath. I got one bought for me and its a pain in the butt! Heavy to lift to somewhere at a comfy height, and painful/awkward to bend down for bathing on the floor/in bath.
I got a new washing-up bowl yesterday - and put her in that tonight, in the kitchen sink, and she loved it! Perfect size so I think she must have felt more secure, and I felt more confident and not like she was about to slip out of my hands!! And I imagine when she grows out of it, she'll be big enough to sit up in the proper bath.

Cheapskate

tarajayne - what a helpful soul you are!

On that littlelambs site, there's a list of local councils who take part in a scheme where you can have a free trial pack (think of that brand of nappy), but my council's not listed, surprise, surprise!! Just emailed my councillor to see if there's anything happening or in the offing.

Speaking of washing in sinks... DH & I wash our feet in the bathroom sink sometimes (&, yes, I can still bend enough to do it!) & last night when he went to bed, toddler wanted to wash his feet in the sink when I'd washed his face & hands! Nothing like getting into good hygiene habits young, eh?!

Very cute... and very quick to crochet up Wonder if I can find a pattern for that... hmmm
Must take a pic of the wee blanket I've done for Roo in pure cotton... Yet to decide if it's going to be a pram blanket or for drying her with as it's pure cotton it's great for drying with you see... but I did it in white lol!

Tia - Wish I could do that bin trick here... we live in a village so all the bins get done on the same day

Which film was it when someone washed themselves in the sink and it came off the wall? They stood in it.

Cheapskate
