A wee while ago I put some extra effort into creating less rubbish in a bid to help the planet and our wallet. Our council bags continue to increase in price so that they now supersede a box of beer! My efforts seem not to be coming to much as we are still having to put a new rubbish bag in the bin each week - well that's what I believed anyway.
Himself normally prepares the recycling and rubbish ready to take down the drive and to be honest I try and avoid any contact while he is in the midst of preparations least I'm asked to help! Last night however himself was busy earning a bit more cash to get those beers and rubbish bags so I decided I would do the wifely thing and organize the rubbish. When I got to the rubbish bag replacement part low and behold the bag was half empty. Yay!!! I cried to myself finally my efforts are working. Although I couldn't quite work out why this week was any different.
Upon arriving home I did a little investigating with himself. 'Yeah it's normally like that' he says nonchalantly, 'it's almost full so I just put it out.' This week the half full/half empty bag has stayed put to see if we can get two weeks out of it. Hmmmmm
