Post all you like HH.  With most of us not being able to settle to anything at least we can come on here for a general chat 😁

Our local council say our garden waste might not be collected but to leave it out anyway in case they get time.  A lot of their staff are off sick but I've noticed the closed leisure centre staff are being redeployed to waste collection.  Our garden has never been so tidy.  

Our next door neighbour has 3 young children so it's a bit noisy in the garden.  Thankfully the other side is a church so pretty quiet right now.

It sounds as if you’re  making good progress with the garden. 
Our kitchen/garden waste was collected on Wednesday - it gets collected every week usually but the paper bin wasn’t collected - that is usually once a month. I can cope with that. It really has turned the world upside down......

We've just been notified that only our main waste bin will be emptied until further notice. There will be no emptying of our recycling wheelie bins or our garden waste ones, which in normal times are emptied fortnightly.
We've been told to put recycling in our main waste bin in the interim.

My garden is the same too. I have taken to spraying weed killer on them just to help speed up the process as it is a pain in the backside trying to keep on top of it. x

Thanks Milann . That's really annoying about your paper bin 😡.

That's annoying Foxgloves 😡. We've been told they'll still take normal rubbish and recycling, but they've suspended our fortnightly garden waste collections 😭.

We get through a lot of rubbish and recycling with four adults in the house, so I hope they don't suspend our recycling collections!

Thanks SA . I envy you with a church next door, at least it must be quiet now.

The neighbours on one side of us are a noisy family with children and a dog that barks a lot 😱. On the other side our neighbours are  quiet but their garden looks like a junk yard 😱.

So I dont go in the garden for peace and quiet, let's put it that way!
