    I have just found a scrap metal dealer in my home town that buys aluminium cans from the general public! I have loads in my recycling. Just wondering ... my neighbour often has loads in her recycling ... is it wrong to "offer" to dispose of them and take them to the dealer with my own?? She often asks me to put hers in my recycling bin as well. She doesn't have transport and often asks for a lift which we don't mind. Am thinking that it would be fair as it would sort of pay the petrol we have used to run her about! Am I being really bad??

    Hello all

    Not much more flying but I did buy some Jeyes powder for our outside bin which stinks (think someone has thrown up in it - how gross). Will get DH to put it in!

    Also Mr A came. Not impressed and won't be using them again. He didn't offer to carry it upstairs for me (Mr T delivery men always do), lots of the tins are bashed and they sent two lots of the wrong thing. I'm also not convinced they have proper fridge/freezer compartments in their cans either as the frozen stuff felt a bit soft and the fridge stuff wasn't cold!

    I'm extra annoyed as it took me ages to do the order with it being the first time (DH has been on at me to try them). I've send a very snotty email through their website. They'd better refund me some money.

    Curtain pole in the spare room taken down and wiped, old curtain thrown out and replace with new set and light shade put up in spare room. Looks a little more like a room now instead of a dumping ground which it was prior to this thread helping me getting ontop of the mess.

    Only clothes left to wash tomorrow and pop the WM on a cleaing wash later on today

    HM chilli and wedges for tea later with the athletics on!

    Hope everyone else is having a good day at the weekend
