    I live in a built up area near the city centre - we just get giant communal wheeled bins about 6' high - not risking my neck raiding those! :D I think I'll go for new empty for the sake of uniformity, not a high priority at this point tho (says he with an almost straight face)

    I totally relate to this comment. I have family living in your City. My mum is only small, and without my brother to help would almost need a stepladder to get her bin bags in the bins there :)

    Lovely news about you getting your pony Alchemilla. Ouch about the tack cost but I'm sure she's worth every penny :) Can we get a piccy of her on here?

    £200 per year can't be bad for a car, has it cost a lot to run?
    MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁

    Its mileage per gallon is not fabulous and it has had a few repairs but mainly wear and tear things like the brakes.

    Not too bad is it?

    Thanks to anyone still reading!

    Happy days. Half term and DD1 has done some maths, cleaned her tack and is randomly playing stop the cavalry on the joanna.
    DD2 is off at ballet, DS is doing odd things in the playroom and puppy love is sunbathing.
    Such a lot to do this half term but most of it jolly i hope.
