Plum, our council used to offer a discount on compost bins, but I checked the site and they don't anymore. TBH I want Doncaster council funneling as much into child services as possible at the moment.

I found something during one of my surfing research sessions about turning an old dustbin into a compost bin and we happen to have one left by previous occupant, so that's the plan now.
I really want one of these but they're a bit preicey.

Wasting - they do look good. Our council has introduced a system where they collect our compost (every week, with the normal rubbish) and they must use something like that as they take bones, etc.
I want to get the one that deals with dog poo whenever we get a dog.
about Doncaster children though.

Upstairs feeling more sorted out now (not that i've got rid of anything, lol)

Plum - why new pillows & duvets? I am getting rid of a couple of pillows actually as MIL commented that i should throw one out she's right of course but her having been here lots recently seems to have lowered her inhibitions about commenting!
She turned up with 6 wine glasses one trip and demanded i throw out 6 of mine as they'd gone cloudy.
I was happy with mine....
All well intentioned (i hope!).

wasting - I went to Edlo comp for a year. Twas horrible. Finding the news about those boys really and shocking.

JKS - at least you didn't have to go buy new glasses and she'd already done it .

Hearing 'Doncaster' on the news doesn't shock me, but I'm from Edlington originally, and it's sickening.

Evening everyone

JKS - glad DS2 is getting better, and yay on the sleep!

Wasting - we have one of those Green Johannas which are on that website. I am shocked at how expensive they are, we got ours free in a recycling trial from the council just after we moved in here.

Plum - 3 cakes! Yum Have a lovely day tomorrow.

HMHB - glad you got sorted-ish for the inlaws, you do have very good excuse of having a wee baby

Jolene - I would be bloody furious at the school's attitude! Pleased DS doesn't seem too fazed by it.

We are having a lovely weekend with PILs, although DS has got a cold and is also teething. It's the first time he's been really ill and he's all whiny and just keeps bursting into tears . He was in our bed all last night, thrashing around and none of us got much sleep. Finally got him settled at 11pm this evening, really hoping he will sleep for a few hours before the waking starts.
I got all my list done before they got here so once they go tomorrow lunchtime then we can have a nice relaxing afternoon.
