I know just what she means.

I don't use the food waste bin. They wanted some biodegradable bags used that cost a fortune so that was that for me. The bags may have got cheaper or they may have removed that requirement I really don't know as I've never taken the trouble to find out. The hospital and British Rail will just have to get their pie and sausage ingredients elsewhere because any scraps I have just go in general waste. I no longer even have those bins - next door used to do it and the bin men must have put theirs in the wagon complete as it just vanished so I gave them mine.

Then came a pain inside his chest
 Something pounding beneath his vest
His phone vibrated
His eyes dilated
It was a reminder to take out his chicken breast

.... and breathe.

I had to post this, I know where she is coming from
Her Facebook page



Right... I need to know I'm not on my own here before I completely lose the plot...

WHAT. IS. GOING. ON. WITH. THESE. BINS??? 😤

Because I swear to God, life did not used to be this complicated.

Back in the day?
One bin.
You put your rubbish in it.
It got collected.
End of story.
No counselling required.

Now I feel like I need a degree in waste management just to throw away a yoghurt pot.

I've got more bins outside my house than I've got bloody plants.
Recycling.
Cardboard.
Garden waste.
And now... brace yourselves...

A FOOD WASTE BIN.

But wait... it gets better...

It's not just a bin, is it?
Oh no.
It's a mother bin... with a baby bin inside it.

WHO signed that off???

So now I'm getting this tiny little kitchen caddy that fills up every 5 minutes (because shock horror, I actually eat food), and I'm expected to trot outside like some sort of bin butler emptying it into its "mother" like I'm part of some weird rubbish-based family dynamic.

And I'm stood there thinking...

WHAT THE HELL IS EVEN LEFT FOR MY NORMAL BIN NOW???

Food's gone.
Cardboard's gone.
Recycling's gone.
Garden waste is gone.

What am I putting in it???
VIBES???
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE???
THE REMAINS OF MY SANITY???

And can we talk about the fact that I am now apparently running a free storage facility for the council...

On MY property.

I could've had flowers.
A nice little seating area.
Some peace.

Instead I've got what looks like a skip yard auditioning for Britain's Got Talent outside my front door.

At this point I'm expecting them to start charging ME for the privilege of housing their plastic army.

And don't even get me started on how flimsy they are...

One gust of wind in Stoke and they're halfway to bloody Manchester 🤦🏻�♀️

Honestly, someone's going to get taken out by a rogue food caddy on a morning dog walk and that'll be the headline:

"Local woman defeated by bin during light breeze."

I'm telling you now...

I am DONE.

I am nearly 50 (not quite, but almost) menopausal, operating on dangerously low levels of patience and oestrogen, and fed up of dealing with total nonsense.

I have survived far worse in life than this...but THIS might actually be the thing that pushes me over the edge.

Because you can test me in many ways...

...but if that food bin turns up at my house...

I will be returning it with the force and accuracy of a menopausal sniper 🔫😂

No warning. No negotiation. Just vibes and violence.

Anyone else feeling this rage or am I about to go to war with the council on my own ?..



That is so bloody brilliant! 🤣🤣

Quote from: klondike on April 16, 2026, 10:06:48 PMWhat amazes me is the number probably 30 or even 40 years my junior I see when out and about who are so overweight they have problems walking.

A thing I've often wondered about too is what came first the mobility scooter or the enormous backside hanging over the seat.

You're not joking! When i was going to a group about avoiding type 2 diabetes, the biggest person was the youngest.  She was about 20 stone.  I saw her recently, she said she'd been to the gym, and she'd lost weight, but it was not obvious. Her walking is impaired, she needs a stick. She might just be 40. 

I took the lessons really seriously, lost weight and I've kept it off. Not easy with my sweet tooth!  Off to the pool in a mo.

Old Joe couldn't believe what he could see
Her skirt stopped well above her knee
White frilly knickers were on show
Joe's cheeks were all red and all aglow
The randy old sod was filled with glee

Then came a pain inside his chest
Something pounding beneath his vest

It won't be pretty. Not as cheap as I'd hoped either. Timber went up quite a while ago and solar panels have shot up since I last looked - every many man and his dog must be trying solar out to offset the huge increases coming thanks to Trump's little adventure trying out his toys.
