Eughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Maggots in my wheelie bin....that's never happened before. I'm going off to be sick!!!! Grrrrrrrrrr I don't want to wrap everything in plastic bags but in the hot weather I reckon i'll have no choice if I don't want crawlies again. Any other ideas? xx
That happened to me recently, except not in my wheelie bin.....they were in my recycling box!!! Everything in the recycling box is cleaned before it goes out, so there was no food or anything even in there!!! But when they came to empty it, the box was literally crawling, it was gross. :eek:
I can only think that someone must have chucked something in on the way past, as they sit in the same place all the time, I dont just put them out on bin day.
The only thing I can think of, is like you say, wrapping leftover food items in plastic bags. Maybe just scrape plates etc straight into a plastic bag rather than into your bin and take them out there and then? I dont know sorry, its a palava, but i cant think of anything else
Greenbee - yes greenbee, im in the process of stripping my CV back......like REALLY basic. Listing my capabilities as basic Office programs, instead of what I can actually do. I think they are looking at my CV and guessing Id be off again in a month. :rolleyes: Will let you have a look at it when I am done.
No flying yet - My washing like Pigpen's is still on the line in the rain.... :rolleyes:
Oh, ive put another wash on since, so I have done some flying; so will hang that up inside, eventually! The machine has been finished for ages.
My friend and neighbour is making homemade soup from her leftover chicken and sending me some over.....yum yum!! Saves me cooking, againSometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying

Maggots in the bin are awful. We only get our black bin emptied every other week and i hate it. We have this a few times per year and i always clean the bin when its been emptied. I use Jeyes bin fresh as well and i have not seen a maggot since i have been using this.
Jo and Johanne pm me your email addresses and i will send the info xx:beer: Officially Debt Free Nov 2012 :beer:0 -
Bin maggots, I get the hose, jeyes fluid or bleach and sort them out, they never came back, I wonder why....................Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

Sorry Toots, I looked, and never saw my name, and thought it was because I hadn't put the tree against my name the first time. As if you don't have enough work to do!! (Slaps self on head!)
