    Hello :)

    Does anyone else think that filling up other people's wheely bins (when theyve just been emptied too) is being rude and inconsiderate? I've just had to tell someone to take all their rubbish out of my bin, it was literally emptied about half an hour ago and along comes someone who sees all the bins lined up and starts filling them up with a load of junk they are clearing out!

    Not a major thing i know, but where do i put all my dirty nappies and household rubbish when my bin is full with someone elses rubbish? Just peed me off that's all......

    will quietly lurk again now.....

    keely.

    Indeed it is a cheek.. I do occasionally put a bag or 3 in bins up the street when they have been put out to be emptied.. but if they ahd just beenempted andsomeone started filling the bins I'd be furious.. if I have room on bin night anyone is welcome to fill it to the brim.. I'd rather they put a bag of rubbish in my bin than left it stinking at the roadside!

    Yey for Rhys being normal. :D

    Keely That is incredibly rude, and wrong. I'm with those suggesting emptying it on their doorstep.
    My ex cheeky B neighbours filled my lovely empty recycling bin once, they were obviously clearing out years worth of paperwork. I caught the teenage son doing it, so told him to empty it all back out. So, he emptied it into a builders skip over the road. The builder saw him, and took it all out, and dumped it in their front garden.
    Boys Mum phoned the building company to complain about the builder dumping 'his' rubbish in their garden, so the boss came out to sort it out - to find tons of paper on their garden, all with their names & address on. :rotfl:Dozy fluckers!

    Tickle Don't worry about catching up, its impossible - just jump right in and post.

    I'm back from my very unremarkable work meeting :D

    Yay! for Rhys and his boring (in a nice way ;)) kidneys!

    Boo! for Keely's obnoxious neighbours! I'd join the crowd returning the rubbish to their front garden, only I'd add a lit match and bring a stick and a bag of marshmallows.

    Sorry for the radio silence...have been dealing with [STRIKE]Grouchypants[/STRIKE] my lovely baby all day.

    Just had a mysterious parcel of 3 (baby) books turn up from Amazon...I've been lusting after them, even adding them to my cart, but I swear I firmly did not order them. I would suspect MIL, as she's done this in the past, but the billing address on the invoice lists my name/address? But when I log in, there's no order under my account. Confused.com...

    At least it wasn't dog poo. (Although even that is better than having it all over the pavement.)

    But yes, it is very rude and unacceptable.

    I hate it when people pop round unannounced too. Our flat's always a mess and even a 15-minute warning is enough to blitz the living room and make sure there are some clean cups.

    I hate that too.

    My parents do it, but they don't even knock on the door and just wander in. Last time, the children were playing upstairs so we were having a private discussion over money downstairs, and they just walked into the study unannounced :mad:

    I've asked them to ring before they arrive or at least knock on the door, but it just gets ignored.

    Freecycle: I got bored with ours are there are too many wants for stupid things like big flat screen TV's, xbox's and other luxury items. I gave loads of stuff away but was rarely lucky enough to get anything. The only thing I got was a box of childrens books.

    The last thing I gave away was a marble hearth and inset, an electric fire and a fire surround. They were dated and I didn't think they would sell. I was out when the person came, but Craig said the man was very cheeky and said his wife makes a fortune selling stuff she gets off Freecycle. If I was home I wouldn't have given them to them :o

    I'd rather stuff went to a good home that helps out people are struggling. My old fridge and freezer went to a divorced man who'd walked away from the family home with nothing, and some bookcases went to a couple who were just starting out and had a home but no furniture. She was nearly in tears as she was so happy with them - bless her!

    KOAG and Elliot - didn't realise he'd arrived and he's poorly. Please pass on my love to them and get well vibes xx
    Here I go again on my own....

    Just gone back to look at EA's post so huge Get Well (((vibes))) for Elliot and thinking of you Kindof. XXX


    I need some help on finding an umbrella type pushchair that will go in my car with all 7 seats up. I like the Lilac Hauck Turbo but it was a bit of a squash. Then there's a Jane one that the wheels fold in but in one review someone said the seat postion when up wasn't very good, any suggestions?
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    I may have to stop watching OBEM. That's pretty much what happened to us only with gross incompetence, and I feel so bad for the poor not-father.

    Sitting here in floods :(

    I wouldn't give cheeky people anything Becs, I agree with you.
