I am getting tired of trying to find a kitchen bin. Don't need anymore than about 40 litres of so, thought I had found one in the Curver touch bin that is currently about £23 in T but the reviews on amazon are no good.

The problem is that it cannot be above 30 cm diameter or on one width, and I would prefer a touch bin because a home compost bin lives in front of it.

The other problem is I do not want to pay more than about £20 for it.

Oh, and I would like a bit of colour

I can't believe the price of some of the bins, we manufacture something that then gets phenomenally marked up so I have some idea of the base price of something and know bull well that I should be able to get a reasonably priced touch bin that will not fall apart in no time flat, the resellers seem to disagree.

A reasonably priced bullet bin of that size would do but all the ones I have found have been about 35 cm diameter

Anyone any better ideas?

[1] Have had an OCD episode this afternoon not sure what else to call it, it's bit like a panic attack [2] and if I told you what over you would think me mad.

I would have thought after all the years me and Mr TS have been together he would have had some idea this would trigger something for me.

Still it is good to be together again after nearly 2 weeks apart. :eek:

[1] Aw, oh dear:(. No; I understand. Been there myself sadly - not from OCD but something else. As usual, Savvy Asperger doesn't know what to say:o:o:rotfl:. Can I say "Don't panic" or is that stupid?:o:o Probably stupid, since it's easy to say - it's not just a case, if people have depression for instance (and don't read if this depresses you - I don't want to do that of all things) but if you are, then saying "snap out of it" doesn't quite work like that. With emotion, you can't just become alright sadly. It's hard to explain (or maybe it isn't) but people who have not been there probably don't really understand it. Things are always, in a sense, irrational - we panic over what no-one else around us is panicking about and, therefore, 'shouldn't' really be panicking ourselves. But if I just say "Try to be calm. Everything will be okay - trust me:). Just please take it easy on yourself", hopefully things will be better. I hope you're over it now - if not, then try to be calm, think nice thoughts, you know where I am if you need me. Probably disappearing off the thread as going out:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, but no - joking aside (and I hope that made you laugh) - we are like a family on here and we do try to care for one another.

[2] No, I wouldn't think you were mad really - in fact obviously you have now intrigued me:laugh: - it's always (or very often) the 'silly' things (obviously they aren't silly if they are causing us such reactions - as it's not, therefore, "trivial") that cause us to panic and be affected - I've had very serious things (or what perhaps "should" be) go on around me and shown absolutely no reaction and felt no upset (or not much) and then the silly things have bothered me much much more. So, it's not mad at all - I think it's just called "being human" and it's because there are things around about which you really care. So: it makes you a good person. Don't worry about your reaction - it's natural. Just try to take care of yourself and, if you need help, like medically or anything, then I hope you seek it. You say "after all the years...". Look, I know it can be years later. I have PTSD (only self-diagnosed at present but will be diagnosed soon I have no doubt - and that is because I am right:D - as usual:p:p:rotfl: - you know I'm joking and deliberately making a play of my own alleged correctness - but no, I am right about myself having PTSD, sadly I'm right) and I know that these things can be years later. With me it's now over six years ago. These things do come back.

Sometimes people just aren't always thinking when they say or do something and they don't intend anything by it. In fact, let me say (out of turn, but truthfully, again) that in fact, as I see it nowadays, it's people normally that aren't always thinking about what they're saying/doing but the person with Asperger's are always thinking - everything I say spoken-wise in RL (well, nearly almost everything) is carefully considered and thought about in advance - that's why (1) it sometimes takes me longer to speak (and then everyone has moved on and I'm not in tune with the conversation:rotfl:) and sometimes needs a bit of time for my brain to process, think of what to say and respond; (2) it's why things come out pedantically and grammatically-correct when I'm talking (most people, "normal" people, do not talk this way) - so, an odd formal style of speech (in all circumstances, even in informal situations - I never really learned!:D:laugh::o:)) - I am *always* thinking before I say or do something in RL and, indeed, thinking, and overthinking, way too much. I ought not to think much - but then, with my 'penchant' for blunt truth-telling (it's not intended, I just can't help it!), you can see why it's then caused me to think about everything so carefully before I say anything because of past discovery of saying something and it wasn't quite right. So it leads to socially-conditioning me always to think (see what I did there - I was going to write "...me to always think..." but, of course, that's a split infinitve so is out, even though that's actually no grammatical rule that says a split infinite is, necessarily, "incorrect") - tangent again:D - back to point - yes, leads to conditioning me to always think (oh forget it!:rotfl:) before I say anything. And then people complain that I haven't said anything:rotfl: (because I'm taking too long to think what to say. It's very complex - the Asperger's mind is complex thought. My contention being that it's "because we know every complexity and last detail":p:p:rotfl: - in other words because we have the entire answer to the whole world and everything, and understand it completely fully, and know it all in our heads - and, basically, let's face it, because we're just a superior race to you:p:p:rotfl: - no, I don't mean it all like that. I am joking a bit. But, no, it is a complex place - delightfully so - my brain. Then you think I'm being stuffy and formal and can't relax because I have all these complex esoteric things to say:rotfl:. As usual, nothing could be farther (I was going to write "further":D) from the truth. (Relates to distance, so has to be farther not further. In practice, I don't really care though - if you say "further", I may correct you:o:o - I try to bite my tongue and thus "thinking about anything before I say/do it now" - but, at the end of the day, whether it's "farther" or "further" - who cares? That's my attitude - to be honest, it doesn't really matter.)

So, in short:rotfl:, I suspect he (like the vast majority of people) just wasn't always thinking - and, therefore, didn't intend. However, obviously, things still affect people - and part of that is how you cope and learning how to try to cope. That's what I have to do as well I think. Out of interest, I don't know if you mind me asking (and, if you do, then you have no need to reply to me and can just ignore me) but do you think you might have PTSD? (It's just, you've used the word "trigger" - so, maybe, maybe not.) It's learning to live with those triggers, unfortunately - they are everywhere and are part of life, though I hope not literally everywhere - it's not as bad as that may seem - and trying not to panic, though it can be easier said than done. Hope you are feeling better now - it is irrational. Just, deep breaths and nice thoughts okay - think of some nice meal, or where you might want to go out to and enjoy yourself or something. HTH.

(Maybe my post will be useful to researchers of Asperger's or something. You know, why don't they do the obvious sometimes and just "ask us"?!) Not to worry about myself, again, the appearance of egotism that, once again, is a misleading one as - sorry to talk about myself as usual(:laugh: - I laugh over the "as usual" bit rather than the "sorry...") but, I suppose, at least this time I left it off until later in this post and talked about you first. But that was only because that was the logical way of writing it all on this occasion(:rotfl:). But, no, despite any impression to the contrary (when the truth here is I talk about myself because people may be interested and/or want to understand), I do care, very deeply, for others and I do understand how panic attacks can be. Been there myself. I hope you are better now and hope things get better:grouphug::. (Or, of course, no hugs at all if you felt that was too much and didn't want them:rotfl: - sometimes hugging someone can be too intrusive or 'interfering' - but sometimes it can be what is needed* - and all I want to do is give whatever is needed!) I understand where you are coming from - and I hope you are feeling better.

*I think I think too much and ought to get out more lol:rotfl::rotfl:. [Now: it's acceptable for me to say that I ought to get out more, but don't anyone else ever say the same thing to me;):rotfl:! Unless of course you are fully joking and it comes across as intended that way, in which case it's better when we're all having a laugh!:T So, if anyone does want to tell me to "get out more" - though I don't think we should disrupt the thread like this - you should preferably punctuate the phrase with as many stuck-out-tongues as possible after it and then a big roll around and a huge grin! And then just add "Joking of course" and a couple of rollrounds!:rotfl:]

:rotfl:

Bubbs, sorry to hear about your sister.

TS - hugs.

tweets - I know this might be easier said than done, but it might worth trying to come up with a plan. Hopefully like you say you'll never need it, but it's surely better to be prepared just in case. Things happen unexpectedly, like my weeks stay in hospital last week, that are outside our control. If DS is down as next of kin, would he be able to come and take care of her? Or could he get a message to your mum and she take Poppy? I hope you don't mind my suggestions, I just think it might be an idea to think about it rather than just hope nothing happens, which of course we all do.

Thank you - so why did we think they had stopped working ? (other than the fact that they are OOS on T's list).

I bought 3 of the 3 for £10 meats in @ this morning and only two showed on the comparison... Would be nice to find something cheaper elsewhere....
Something to look out for on those wombles I never find...

I bought a whole chicken... That came back n/a, chicken breasts... Dearer elsewhere
But the missing item was a twin pack of pork mince which may prove useful;)
