Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I have brought this from the Candy Bar for Jem.
A trip to the tip
We had a lot of dead garden stuff to dispose of, as our lovely council now charges to empty our garden waste bins, then sells compost made from such, we take it to the tip ourselves.
I quite like going to the tip, I am nosey and like to see what folks are throwing out.
Well, what a dilemma with the Pies trip today.
One of my twins has many problems and is partially sighted.
(Even though the card issued by our council says Partly slighted)! He wanted to help, so there we were in the garden bagging it all up. I am changing lots in my garden, so there was a lot of stuff to dispose of. I find it difficult to lift anything too heavy with this injury to my elbow. But I tried and fell over, my boy tried to help me up, but fell over some branches, hubby comes to help, gets a branch in his face! That was just the start!!!
Eventually, we got it all bagged up ready to put in the boot of our car. It is a seven-seater, three back seats can lie flat.
Could we remember which leaver -NO.
I figured it out in the end, I just pulled ever leaver, until - wow it worked. We covered the area with a new tarpaulin, and loaded it up, making a right pig's ear of it!
Garden stuff can only be disposed of in a certain container at the tip, each container is labelled. So I wanted the boot loaded up in order, my son just chucked it in, hubby was busy getting the heavy stuff. I was cussing I can tell you, it was hot and I was bothered.
We eventually arrived at the tip. My son following me up the metal steps of the container, I emptied my bag, he couldn't judge, and pushed me right in!!!!!!
They are massive containers, I was amongst all the garden debris -HELP!!!!
Hubby came running up the steps, but I was almost buried!
He had to get a man who works there to rescue me.
So I have NOT had a good day.
