    I find most of the charity bags have holes in them, so aren't any good as bin bags.

    I compost and recycle, so the "main" bin usually only gets stuff that can't be recycled (and therefore only gets emptied once a fortnight).

    Just had the Christian Aid Week woman nearly put my door in. Open it and said, "No thank you." Closed door, simple.
