Five OS Pleasures in your day today

JaySL

My 5 for today:

1. Washing dried on the line

2. Met up with friends and lovely treats from friends as it was my birthday few days ago

3. Friends helped with getting heavy compost/topsoil etc from the garden centre.

4. Have put on paper the ideas of "where to plant what"

5. Have food from freezer to take for work tomorrow. (Not done any cooking all week for the freezer, Oops! ...)

Have a good Monday.

The way it is with me, when I start I can't stop. I had a pile of bills and stuff to shred so just did that - a bagful of stuff out of the way so now that it's the 6th thing today!

Now I have to think what to do with all that shredded paper...

You need to move to a better London borough!!!:p Try Greenwich You can recycle practically everything except hard plastics and polystyrene :D All dry recycling in one wheelie bin ( glass, plastic, paper, cardboard), all food and garden waste in the other wheelie bin, and a carrier bag sized waste bag every fortnight for stuff that can't yet be recycled.
Just realised I didn't actually state that shredded paper is fine provided it's bagged up.

I live in the Borough of Ealing. I can recycle hard plastic as long as it's not large items. I must find out from the council if I can recycle bagged up shredded.

I was in Greenwich on the 25th March at the Maritime Museum. Greenwich is a vibrant place. Once I was there on a Saturday and spent an hour in the market.

To be totally honest, I often "kick off" about Greenwich:o:o:o But even I can't fault them on recycling :T:T They have made it so easy for residents there is absolutely no excuse for not recycling. I could throttle my neighbours :eek::mad::o

Why, don't they recycle? Do they throw the stuff in the river? :eek:;)

The immediate next door neighbours think it's "too much trouble" to separate" their rubbish:rolleyes: They put vast amounts into the black binsacks ( collected fortnightly) It drives me crazy:mad: Thank goodness they've put the house up for sale, hopefully the next lot in will have a better/bigger conscience The local ( 2 miles away maximum) recycling centre deals with small electrical, all oils, batteries, ballast etc. He doesn't think it's worth his petrol/effort to take anything there. Oh that murder was legal;):D

Quasar, can you believe it, the market will soon be no more Greenwich are going to allow the owners to sell off the land , so the covered market will be gone, probably as flats:mad: The passing of an era!!

Well done everybody on all those wonderful blessings over the weekend :T - I actually missed out one from Friday.

Got my 'Rent Statement' and somehow I'm now £172 in credit with my rent. I think this is because I pay directly to my employers (Housing Association) from my wages every month. We have 2 Rent Free weeks every year but they can't set the computer to take account of those, so still deduct the money at source.

I go away in 5 weeks - so that's another £172 for my holiday spends :dance:.
