  • Awwww Sammy... Big hugs.

    Bury your head in a lavendar pillow, it takes ages to get the smell out of your nose, I know...

    Double bag it, and stick right in the bottom of the wheelie...

    Evil, evil smell

    All of which proves your nose is one of the best detectors around

    As you have found out, "off" products are readily noticed, which is how humans have survived for thousands of years

    If your bin men are only due in a week or so your bin is going to stink to high eaven even if you double bag your chicken.

    I am sure I read somewhere to double bag chicken bones etc and freeze them then put them out on the morning your bin is due to be emptied.

    Can anyone else confirm this idea please?

    Well we have a 7 month old Lhasa Apso and are so lucky we didn't let her out when the pot blew over as it would have killed her!

    Are you going shopping later? I have never done this but I would be tempted if I were you to shove it in one of the bins outside Tesco or wherever. They get emptied daily anyway.
