    Very true. I feel sorry for people that don't have the storage for all these bins and boxes. I have to say our binmen are fantastic at their job, and the current system works well at the moment- but obviously not cost effective. hence the change

    We're doing our 'goodbyes' over the course of a morning in the local field (we're based in a park) If the parents then choose to then splinter off in small groups and picnic it's up to them. They have been reminded they have to follow SD guidelines at all times though. The park-keeper was ok with us down it this way as long as we did it early and 'we' were finished by 11.30, when the park starts to get busy.

    We have very little food waste to be honest. Just compostable fruit and veg trimmings... I'm veggie- and I don't do anything with 'bones' for anyone else! 😊

    Is that £38 each bin, or for as many as you need? To be honest we would pay, but I would still like it to be weekly (especially during the summer months!) I think we're to lazy for that😮 , I thought you just kept chucking stuff on top but I think it takes a bit of management to do it properly? That said I do have my eye on a small area just beyond our back fence that would make an ideal spot... and know one would ever know... 🙄

    What about food waste? do you get a small bin for that? T That's the issue causing our users the most stress at the moment, currently we add food waste to the green bin which is currently collected weekly. The council have not said what their plans are, just that they are considering drop went collection of green bin.

    My daughter had a mimi meltdown today as a cot she was trying to order couldn't be delivered until 'mid July' she was literally in tears .... and I just looked at her, to her to pull herself together- it's only next week so hardly anything to cry about!!! She glared at me as if I was an Alien... then she realised. We did't reopen in the end, but we are having socially distanced 'drop by' on Friday this week - outside, and over the course of a morning so we can at least say goodbye to our children and families. I've got to admit I haven't missed the stress of arranging the end of year singsong concert!

    Our bins are all black with coloured lids.... sometimes during the neighbours holiday we change lids to green (we have a spare lid 😁) so we can put an extra bin out 😮🤣 Our black bins are collected once a fortnight, although I don't want to even get into the big debate about them wanting to change recycling bags for a bin!!, that's causing a lot of stress in the local district! I should add we are all community spirited -so we do share the extra lid

    My nephew's bin is micro chipped, but he has said they still need to keep an eye on it and get it in as soon as possible after collection as they are sometimes stolen 😮 ! I suppose the bin thief goes on the thoughts of- who actually checks that households have paid ??? As you say do bin men actually have the time once on rounds.

    Well I know it's not Friday, but as this is quite an active thread I'd like to ask a question- Our council want to stop our weekly garden waste collection during the winter months, As someone with quite a biggish ( but not massive) garden I am really quite gutted 😟 It has however got me thinking, how many people on here actually have a weekly 'green' collection free? (well obviously paid within council tax) My nephew with the same county different district has to pay a yearly extra and I know a few other counties do. I love my green bin!

    With some very creative wording! We called it a 'drop in' rather than meet-up or picnic. I spoke to the park keeper, who said he will turn a blind I as long as we are not stupid - to be fair he said he's seen some terrible things the park of late. (when open we use the park daily) We have invited parents to visit between 9.30-11.30, collect their special books (leavers) or bring something they have made/done during lockdown (returners) We have pointed out to parents that everything thing will be done with the correct social distancing measures, although we are not doing 'booked' slots..... therefore they may have to wait their turn, and perhaps it might be an idea to bring a blanket and some snack whist waiting. We will be giving out 'ice cream' tokens for the park cafe which is the other side of field so that will help with spacing out too. We have gone for early, so that when the park starts to get busier we will be finished. I shall do a full risk assessment - but the emphasise will be on the parents to act correctly at all times. When we had a outdoor staff meeting the other day we noticed the local baby group had done something similar- they had groups of six spaced out along the edge of field ( I guess this was cheating as actually with babies it was groups of 12! 🤣)

    We have exactly the same starting as we have leaving! Most of our returners have their full funding hours (thank goodness) - but as you point out we have VERY little leeway for people upping hours once funded. We do keep a few spaces free for those returners that become funded in Jan.

    I know what you mean about the reopening feeling. We are have a 'drop in session' in the park next week and I'm actually getting excited about it! I've had a stressful week sorting September, I keep reading everyones numbers are low- but our are ridiculously high 😳 We are having to turn people away (which I hate, especially if they turn out to be one of our old families that forgot to add names earlier etc). We usually have a quiet autumn and build up- not this year. On the positive side this is good financially, but it's going to be strange being so busy all year.

    All weird if you ask me. It mentions scout groups somewhere- well don't they pack up for summer anyway ?......... or does it mean they are going to run mayhem in our hall throughout the summer now 😭

    I did L3 many (many) years ago through cache, is it just old links coming up ? When I did assessing years ago students could add the module as an option if they wanted.
  16. louby loo
    And on that note .... my mixed pot of my dads seeds has gone mad.... I've even grown a lettuce in there!!
  17. louby loo
    Yes. My cat has lots in her tail 😬
  18. louby loo
    Right, so finleysmaid's poor dog is now going out for a walk in- a boob tube, stockings, curlers and a balaclava ......... , but defiantly not a tabard or apron 🤣 ( although possibly she may employ a male dog walker in a half apron..?
  19. louby loo
    Great news x
  20. louby loo
    That's what ours are only 'prettied' up
  21. louby loo
    It would appear he needs a 'head' tabard!
  22. louby loo
    Is it his ears? Not sure if this would be any good but years ago my dog grooming friend (the one that loaned me the afore mentioned thinning scissors 😂) used to breed afghans, she used to put what can only be described as 'boob tube' type thing over their ears. Made of a very fine/soft cotton simply shirred up.
  23. louby loo
    Yes please, it will go nicely with the wine....
  24. louby loo
    Ok, very good point - I've revised my opinion.............. bring back the tabard!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
  25. louby loo
    We don't wear any kind of uniform 😮..... staff have some ancient tabards that they sometimes wear if doing a particularly messy art activity, and have the option of the short waiters apron I mentioned before in a fabric of their choice. (someone on Facebook was selling them as teachers aprons) Mind you, we have slightly derailed zigzags post (sorry zigzag 💐) as I think she was wanted more of a 'covid bleach protection' option 😁
