Having a clear out today and filled eight black rubble bags of rubbish….had them booked into Burn Road tip and started to take out the bags to go in the back of the car.
I took out one bag and then the wife passes the rest out over the gate so the dogs can’t get out.
But when I returned the original black bag had walked…been nicked…..turns out it was full of individual sealed dog poo bags..makes me smile every time I think about it.

I got a new washing machine yesterday, with the help of my son put the old one on the grass kerb outside, he was concerned it would be there a while, I said if it doesn't get picked up ((by scrappers) in the next few days I'll pay for the council to remove it, I got up at 8.30 this morning and it was already gone. :dance:

Hired a skip to clear out a property in Hartlepool, spent the whole day filling the skip, next day the skip company arrived and the skip was empty!
