you're sounding very organised and on top of stuff

Karmacat

I know, I'm a bit concerned!

I guess it'll get easier when it's all done and just needs keeping on top of or at least I'm hoping that's the way it works..lol

Karmacat

Oh absolutely - you didn't take my previous one liner seriously, did you ????

Getting it done and then keeping on top of it - I've decided I'm definitely going to get one of those "garden waste" bins that get picked up by the council. It costs £50 for 26 collections (tho it might have gone up again) - I had a lightbulb moment after talking with my sister - I need to severely prune one of the buddleias, ivy front and back, sedge all over the place, the grass is still there, the clods of grass and earth when I'm extending the border .... there's just too much to depend on the odd trip to the tip or chucking it in the wrong bin and hoping they never see.... got to get my act together!

I'm off now, Taxi - just one more trip to yours, as I saw you'd posted, then I'm in Bedfordshire

we have a green waste bin but they don't charge for it....they are collected once a fortnight

Hey Karma,

I'm liking the alternate week plan & if I'm completely honest, that's how I operate for some of my chores - shhhhhh though .
I used to pay for the fortnightly green collection, then used to go to the dump & now just save it all, keep it dry & then have a bonfire.

I like bonfires

Tricia, glad you find the alternate week idea appealing too - I know *exactly* what you mean about stopping one job to keep up with another - its like that in the house, I can't do *that* if I haven't done *this*, but *this* depends on getting *whichever* part from the shop, but I can't go to the shop till XXX - and so it goes!

Oh, I do understand that exactly!

I think mse is trying to get me tiddled :rotfl: I don't want to make booze, sorry! My new fetish is strong savoury sauces - thats why I like the pesto so much, it was the only (strongest) garnish or whatever that I had for quite a while.

Confession time. I can quite happily eat pesto straight from the jar.

We don't have a separate bin for garden rubbish but have to take it to the tip (or whatever posh name they have these days!) A friend in Macclesfield takes his to the tip and gets a token for each bag. 10 bags = a bag of mature compost. That makes sense.

What? You have to pay for that? We must be less tolerant up here. Garden waste would be subject to the "hotter than the gates of Hell bonfire"...

Oh! See how slow I am :rotfl: I'd never seriously thought about doing a bonfire ... and truthfully, part of me is a complete wimp - while I loathe all sorts of beasties in the house, the idea of them not being able to get out of the stuff I'm burning makes me go _pale_ and the idea of them getting out of it and possibly into my house makes me go _pale__pale__pale__pale__pale__pale__pale__pale_ so I can't really win with bonfires better get someone else to take it away

In the list that needs to go, I forgot my awful rhodedendrons - I love the colour of the flowers, but the big one is too near the house and overwhelming the cob tree, and the two little ones are taking up space that could be used by something else...

Well, if I had a car I would take it .... I can make room for £50 a year in the budget, but not car expenses :rotfl: love the sound of tokens! That sounds very fair, actually.

Know what you mean about the posh names :rotfl:
