The one with the head in it, and with a paper attached?

The address on the postcard gives you a clue to what the saying relates to and the message first line defines it. He has gone on holiday accompanied by two known fictional characters.
The bin one is not a great clue. It about what is is the bin and why

I got 40 and gave up.
My mind doesn't work cryptically enough for things like this...
Always struggle with it every year..
No good at cryptic crossies either.

"Head in the bin" isn't a phrase though.
I'm still stuck on 49, I can't believe there are even 13 more clues tucked away in the image. Some I can't get:
Is that a beetroot in a trophy on the mantelpiece?
Poster with building-type words written all over it.
The 'see no evil' etc monkeys in front of the fire.
Just left of them is a statue of some Hulk Hogan looking guy.
Also an open bag of crisps there as well. ??
The painting with a pair of eyes on it.
Thumb on the chair - didn't even see that there until someone mentioned it above.
There seem to be a couple of mounted fish dotted around.
Elephant's trunk.
Head in the bucket as mentioned above.
Dunno if it's a clue, there's a wicker hamper near the suit of armour.
A jar with a straw in it? Is that one?
The gigantic lampshade in the right foreground?

Head in bucket is clue I thought you were talking about the paper basket under the table further back
Beetroot is a plum
Picture with lots of words is a clue
Perhaps the monkeys are cold
Hulk statue NOT a clue
Bag of crisps is part of bread on fire just above
Painting with eyes is hard to get phrase wording. What is going on in picture is relevant,
Thumb has something on it
Mounted fish are NOT clues
Elephant trunk is a clue, I’ll avoid talking about that clue.
Head in bucket, a bucket of what?
Wicker hamper isn’t a hamper, what does it look more like?
Straw is a clue
Copper lampshade is NOT a clue.

Ok I got the monkeys, elephant and straw now. Still haven't the foggiest on those others. I've written 'head in the sand' about 12 different ways so I figure it's not that.

The cards and trunk are the same clue.
I can’t tell you too much as I don’t want to let you know what I’m thinking.

bin is a bit obscure - clue 4 words starting WNWN. word 1 is the big clue and maybe an american take on rubbish!
elephant trunk quite easy - if you were a secret everyone knew but wouldnt discuss you'd be the .......

Is the robin one?
I haven't a clue on the antelope spit/wave
Is the short lance one?
I can't work out the green egg or the straw

No the clue is in both the address and the message. The address is a lyric from a popular 80s song but more importantly band.

The two antelopes were slightly related in that the phrases have opposite meanings - I got them both together. (The other one being the sock one)
Green egg is no good...
The straw.. how many are left?
