As l pulled the huge tree out through the doors, l heard a thud. My heart dropped as l investigated and found my Whistling Boy statue had lost his head! He’d fallen against the stand of the television. Luckily, l have some ‘No More Nails’ and my daughter stuck it back on!

I looked on the Refuse site to check the green bin men still took whole Christmas trees. It’s a good job l did, as the mean rotters ask you to cut your tree up and put it in the green bins!
I dragged the tree to the gate where my bins were all ready to go and l proceeded to cut my tree up to put in the bins!

It was dark and l hacked away at the tree whilst I used the light of the passing car’s headlights to aim the cutters. I didn’t care if l looked like a nutter, l just wanted the tree gone!
Then, I couldn’t get the bin lid to shut on the thickest length of trunk so l hope they will still take it.
Please don’t them be jobsworth on this occasion!!
Just had a sly word and given them your address, and to look carefully at the BIn lid

Well our green bin men are aliens. They speak a different language - every word begins with 'F'.
