The latest technology flying bin collections, speeds things up tremendously.

Morning
Things clearly haven't changed at all here haha

I was reassured by the sanctity of the ongoing bin chatter … it makes me happy. The joy of a shared anxiety, should never be underestimated

So true each week there's that awful foreboding that they won't come until you hear the clattering sound of the waste collection vehicle. Then the real fear sets in that they will miss yours out, and you'll have to tackle the councils clunky website to report it. Who remembers their account number and password? It's too much, but then there's the relief when it's all over........... until next week anyway.

Going to F**k the wife, back later

Me too. Then out visiting. I’m determined to wear my summer dress - even in the rain

Show us your style or one for Wet Wednesday?

I set a “bins out” phone alarm for 8pm the night before. It’s seldom needed actually, because I do it long before in case it’s raining later

Thankfully I’m working on bin day itself ….i don’t need that kind of stress in my life!

I had 12 perfectly decent chairs for our dinning table plus 4 emergency chairs for additional guests....

But
No
They didn't match the kitchen sofa, so 12 new chairs arrived yesterday (conveniently whilst my wife is away - to the extent that I told the delivery driver he was at the wrong house) and I've spent all morning putting the legs on them.

Brew time.

Oh no
The perils of having a kitchen sofa. Super relatable

Nothing in my house matches. It's all been donated from family or bought cheap. I'd quite like a coordinated space but then I'd stress about my clumsy arse ruining it all

Do you need 8 black chairs and 4 white onesm

It's lovely how terraces knock through. Keeps the mansion feeling cozy

Delightful!! A great look.
Now you don’t look like the sort of person who worries about rembering to put her bins out

 

[munch2much]

I’m looking forward to visiting Brighton next week. It’s one of my fave cities to visit (except for the unbelievably difficult parking situation!).

Definitely a place where you meet awesome and interesting people

 

[RosewoodTulip]

The only time we miss not having a man in the house is bin day, and spider in the bath time

I just had to go rescue my friend from a Daddy Long Legs that was on her door because she was too scared to unlock it

Haha, my daughters somehow survive living away, yet when I visit, somehow I end up tending to both of those things … I suppose it’s nice to be of some use still

 

[RosewoodTulip]

I’m actually not too bad. My wife is petrified

Aw my old house mate and still very good friend is fully agoraphobic. She was always waking me up in the middle of the night because of spiders in her room. At one point she didn't enter her room for 4 months because she was too scared. She just camped out in the living room.
She has a husband and a cat now to come to the rescue

Those are kinda annoying. Noisy and don’t hang around to be caught always.

I think this one was stunned after flying into the door. I just gently nudged it out of the way.
Funny thing was once she saw it was injured she felt sorry for it

Do you live in a stately home?

I have 8 chairs for the dining table and I hope to never use more than 2 at a time

Back when I used to be scared of spiders and such, I’d happily squish things. Nowadays I actually can’t understand why I did that when it’s so easy to just pop them outside.
I dislike anyone or anything suffering. I nearly had to put myself in therapy 2 weeks ago, when a bird threw itself in front of me of my car. As you know, I’m often in the countryside and I have managed to avoid killing anything for about 8 years. I felt so guilty!!
