Sunday evenings are usually a flurry of activity (as opposed to the rest of my life which is quiet and sedate? hmm). I blame the bins. They are collected on a monday morning and so I scurry around - emptying recycling or removing garden weeds if it's that week, or, as tonight, trying to clear out a little for the non-recyclable black bin. I'm reasonably impressed with myself, making headway on some clutter.
One of my bin habits may be about to change. I currently use plastic bags from my local supermarket to line my kitchen bin. Even tho I mainly take hessian or cotton bags each time I go, I forget often enough (or under estimate the amount of food I'm going to get) to supply my bin lining needs. But I'm happy to learn that we are soon to be charged (5p each) for carrier bags. I say happy, because I am - it will hopefully encourage us all to change our habits and use reusable bags which will be much much better for the environment. But it will also remove my free source of bin liners, so I will probably become more careful about that too. Only putting things in a lined bin that need it to be lined, and popping the larger items directly into the outside bin. I'm pleased to say that so far I've made a conscious effort to take my reusable bags still, rather than yield to the temptation to stock up now on free plastic bags - that would defeat the point of my principles.
As a reward for anyone who has stuck this long with a blog about lining bins, here is a beautiful, continuously changing work of art - awesome and poignant:
