Christmas 2025

Today is the best day of the festive period for me every year. Decorations are down, put away and the house has had a freshen up. Just made a homemade soup with roasted veg, chicken stock, double cream and some bacon lardons crisped up as croutons 🤤.

Not a hint of festiveness in sight and fresh house ready to start the new year without a hint of the old in it 🥰

I really don't get the whole bin thing. Maybe it's different elsewhere but in my county the council have a really good website that shows it all very clearly. Obviously, it doesn't stop people asking the obvious question on our town FB site on a frequent basis 🙄

Thats probably because people live their life through FB.
Took me 2 mins to check on the council website.
The same people will be throwing a strop on FB when they don’t get their bin emptied,all because Shirley told them the wrong day 🤷‍♂️

I don’t get it either. I have a fool proof and simple way of knowing which bin goes out each week.

I put out exactly what bin I’m told by my wife 😂
 
Our council don't do bin collections over Christmas.

I've also never seen a bin wagon on the roads post lunchtime at anytime of the year.

Let's face it, it's the ideal job if you like to play a bot of golf.

You’re not wrong there. Friend of the family has been a bin man for his whole working life. He also is a low single figure handicap player that is out in the course or practice ground 5 times a week around lunchtime and plays on weekends.

And to think when I was at school it was a threat by teachers, “if you don’t do well in your exams your end up on the dust cart”
Blokes are living the dream 😁
 
No impression needed it’s blatantly true!! My wife always says “she knows that as her husband I wear the trousers however, she controls the zip” 👀

I’m know which side my breads buttered 😂
The Mrs is outnumbered in our house.
Me,our son,1 dog & 3 horses all male.
although she’s had the horses castrated.
Not sure if that was a message to me & the lad 😨

Opposite for me, when the kids are here like now it’s me and my lad, plus the Mrs and my 2 daughters so massively outnumbered. The only male in the house is the cat and he thinks he owns the place anyway 😂.
