Over the last few years I've been at a really low point. I suppose you could say I've had pretty much a breakdown. The sort of thing that means that making a cup of tea is sometimes too complicated. Couldn't get to the doctors as couldn't get out the house. That sort of thing. And the house filled up and became dirty.
DH is now working from home and needs a clearer, cleaner surroundings for his mental health. I need to get rid of cardboard boxes, outgrown clothes, unused blankets, old papers (shredded) etc etc. And we always generate a lot of rubbish for some reason. DH always used to take a couple of bags to the tip every Sunday. Then there is the backlog of jars and bottles for the bottle bank and old paint tins. And don't get me started on the state of the garden and how I finally can get into it now that the neighbours who kept threatening me have moved out.
The tip is closed.
The garden is filling up with black bags and now I look like a food hoarder with stuff going out of date. I've got to get rid of stuff from the back of cupboards that is a year out of date, but haven't been hoarding. My stash of hand soap comes from last summer when there was a really good deal and I bought a load. My food waste over the last few weeks has been some celery and two carrots.
When the tip finally opens I'm going to be making shuttle runs for days.
Please let it be open after this three week period.
