Swiped from Faffa and Pads. I took that test too and here am I

Naive, that's me!

Firstly, before I chat about today, a quick moan about bin-men. Our council has changed to this every other week regime, where one week they pick up the bins and the next week they pick up the recycling boxes. Now, I all for recycling but I don't like having refuse building up over a fortnight. And what makes things worse is that the bin men came yesterday (I am sure I heard them and all the Lanes bins have been emptied.... except ours. Ours is still full! WTF! So I have two weeks worth of bags in there uncollected and nowhere to collect the next fortnights rubbish! That has really annoyed me!! I am sure this new regime is going to be less hygienic!
Anyway, today (and keeping on the theme of rubbish) after, my OH and I put up the new furniture, we went to the tip to dump the rubbish. Mostly packaging- cardboard and polystyrene. There was a worker on duty who was monitoring what was going in the bins. I threw a load of cardboard into the bin when she shouted at me. "What have you thrown in there" and she opened up the cardboard and there was the polystyrene and plastic straps. "OH dear, we have been naughty. That doesn't go here"
Then my OH confessed that she had done the same thing. "Tut tut!I shall put you on my wall of shame!" she said. Oh dear. So not only did we appear like thieves unloading a car with it's alarm going off yesterday, now we have been branded bin bandits and will appear on the refuse Tip's Ten most wanted! What a life!

It is annoying when putting up flat pack furniture, the cross head screws that they use are made of quite a soft metal and after a while the cross engrave in the top wears out. Now the bloody screwdriver doesn't move the thing. I've had to get the pliers to them!

My OH has been putting up furniture. She enjoys putting up furniture. Well, when I say my OH is, this is how it tends to go.
1)She read the instructions
2)She follows the instructions
3)Somehow it goes wrong
4)I read the instructions
5)I work out where she goes wrong due to misreading the instructions
6) I undo all the work
7)We put it right together.
8) we then go to the next stage. Repeat step 1-7 until item is complete.

However, if I were to suggest that I do it in the first place.... well, suffice to say that I have learnt not to. She is enjoying herself.
