Our next door neighbour, Sameena, just had a new wheelie bin delivered by the Council. She knocked on our door first thing this morning (when I was still in my dressing gown) to ask if I'd pull it off the street once the dustmen have been. She doesn't like the idea of it having to sit out on the pavement all day.

I know just how she feels. Ailz can laugh all she wants, but it's a serious matter. Our bin has been stolen on at least two occasions- and they cost £20 to replace.

Last time ours was stolen we asked for a new one and they said that just this once they'd give us a replacement for free. So that was all right.

And then I came across our old one sitting outside a neighbour's back gate and reclaimed it.

So now we have two. I put one outside the front gate and one outside the back.

Don't tell Oldham Council!

Mum's the word!

Did you ever talk to your neighbor about why your bin was outside his gate? A bad storm blew it there????

Something like that.

No I'm a cowardy cowardy custard. I just took it back.
