(Still checking that it isn't Monday yet)

Today was wheelie bin day (and I was right Doug you would have seen more rubbish if you'd come round here today).

Last wheelie bin day the bin men very kindly left a bag in the bottom of my wheelie bin so when I couldn't fit all of our rubbish in it this week I was a bit concerned that they may not take the extra bag or may impose a fine. Maybe I'd have had a good defense if they'd tried that.

However, they did empty it all..................but when I brought it back in and opened it to check, there were maggots writhing around the bottom!

YUCK!

When I think that the bag at the bottom must have been in there a MONTH (as it was the first bag put in for the collection 2 weeks ago, therefore must have gone in two weeks before that) it's hardly surprising is it? There must have been some food item or cat litter in that bag - and how else am I supposed to dispose of such things if not in a bag in my wheelie bin?

Now my daughter and I just had the divil of a job cleaning it out and we're both fairly fit so how would I have gone on if I'd have been a little old lady living alone?

In this hot weather with rubbish hanging around I anticipate the spread of more nasty horrible disgusting things

I'm trying to think nice thoughts honestly I am but after dealing with that lot it isn't easy.
