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 smell0 -
All of which proves your nose is one of the best detectors around

Same here in Staffordshire, just blown one of my large pots over and broken it.0 -
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?0 -
sb44 - sorry to hear about your pot.
Jsut had to practically rescue my little jack russell he took one look, ran outside to pee, got blasted and nearly blown off his feet! Poor little thing. Needless to say when i suggested a walk i had a look not to dissimiliar to :eek: from him!
My bin men are due on tuesday and got no room in freezer - jsut worried if put it in the bin adn the wind knocks it over some poor little old dear may be attacked and concussed by a flying gone off chicken! :eek:Time to find me again0 -

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.0 -
