    That's wonderful SW! He should be a lot more comfortable and happy. Well done for getting the marking cleared too.

    Ahh lots of lovely news today.

    Just thinking about the bin can you get anything cheaper from your local council or is that what you have tried? X

    I can get a smaller bin for £45, I am debating which to go for. I went on train to visit my dear friends and spend much of the day there. Bless him he is vvvv limited now with no vision, but still waves and listens when awake. Such an amazing person so happy and giving, the medical bed is lovely for him and has made him so much more comfortable. I am so happy i spent an extra day with my dearest friends. All being well i will work for a few days and go back next week. I spent £14 on bits for my friend and then £12 on way back on lovely fruit for me for the rest of the week. Travel was £30 which is from emergency fund. 

    I have £98 for the rest of the month for food.

    What's the sizes of the two bins and how often is it collected?

    Hope you get another visit in this weekend.

    I am shattered today as my sugars were a bit crackers (due to blood test meter problem) but i will work hard to sort it. My plans have changed I'm going on Monday and Tuesday which leaves me a few days to rest and do work. 

    The bins are 140l (£45)and 240l (£66) and are collected every two weeks. Work is so busy if i am lucky i will mow the grass and leave all the bushes and tree trimming till parents come in June. I have never had a garden bin before will i have to put things in bags like the black bin? How dense do i sound? 

    It is after one oclock and i am still in bed. I might rest a bit more till sugars calm down a bit then i will garden. It is lovely and bright.

    The garden waste goes straight in the bin, don't put it in bags first. Most councils have an in-house or external company who turn it into compost.
    Depends on what you're getting rid of as to what size to have. If it's weeds and grass small should be fine, if you're going to do a lot of gardening, or family do it for you, then the big one is best.

    Hope your sugars settle and you get outside for a bit.
