    Taking the bin out in trainers and a laydees dressing gown makes perfect sense to me.

    I decorate naked. Why get paint on your clothes?

    My mother gets her bin cleaned too. Now that I do find strange.

    Your neighbours must get a real eyeful when you're outside painting the soffits. :)

    What is a soffit?

    I am extremely popular with the bloke across the road. His wife not so much;)

    Actually I visited the Mcd's drive thru last night, I often have a drive thru see what's happening. When I got back home I rested my big mac on top of the bin whilst searching my pockets for the front door key.


    Too gross, is your wheelie by your front door?

    we had no collection for over a month around christmas and NY, and then again three weeks just this last time.....I feel like between here and the council I have spent too much time thinking about bins. :)

    It's how the girls at school used to desribe me.

    Given that you grew up into a bloke who swans around swathed in a pink dressing gown with a wheelie bin cleaner than my kitchen floor, they weren't far wrong.

    Tis the bit underneath the eaves. Mine are exposed to the elements, I should repaint but am intending to extend upwards.

    Should I enquire further on the second part? :)

    Oh, I've always called them weather boards. :o

    Mine are plastic. Not particularly pretty but hey, I am a woman alone. I have learned to compromise.

    BTW, I must contribute to the Avatar discussion elsewhere. I loved it.

    I'm on the bed again and just noticed through the window that the empty bin is still at the bottom of the drive. Might absolutely leg it down to the bin naked and hope someone notices :)

    definitely go naked. I do that on the basis that skin is the most washable outfit I own (bar the tracksuits, and its quicker thn those are to dry)

    I have to say how glad I am to see you back here LIR. This place wasn't the same without you.

    I was buying sheets and I had no one to talk thread count with.

    I missed you:o

    EDIT Maxiwax is ok for some things but he is useless at practical stuff
