It would have been Thursday, so it's very nice to have everything gone straight after Christmas!PennysIntoPounds said:Hark at you with a Saturday recycling day! 😁
Glad the place is feeling in order, enjoy your chill time
Thank youWanna_Bee_Free said:Congrats on the amazing PAD totals and your recycling clean slate. Our rubbish and recycling leave today too. I am very excited, which is really sad. Unusual to collect on a Sunday due to Christmas but I am happy.
Enjoy your book!
I think we're still a couple of weeks away for rubbish (it's 3 weekly here) but we haven't produced much extra, and only tend to put out one black bag anyway, so it's not a problem. We did have a lot of recycling though! It is exciting to see it all gone
