Recycling

Well, no posts for ages, then three at once! I'm watching Watchdog (for my sins) and they've just had a feature on doorstep recycling. They looked at the system in Kingston, and it looks very complicated indeed! So I thought I would write a post praising Lewisham council for once! We have one bin for recycling, the same size as our normal bin. We can throw anything that Lewisham can recycle in there, and they can recycle most things. If they added Tetrapak to their list I'd be very happy!

On top of that (at the moment) we have both normal and recycling collections on a weekly basis, which is great. Means that rubbish doesn't pile up too much. And, we had the brown bin trial for garden waste. We found this really useful and I hope it's something the council carry on with.

So well done Lewisham. Keep it up and let's hope some other local authorities follow your lead!

Celeb spot

We were shopping in Argos at Penisular park Charlton (/Greenwich...) this evening when who should we spot buying some gym equipment?

So even top ex-boxers shop in Argos. Or should that be Argoos? I hate Argos with a passion, but we had some Nectar points to use up so it had to be done. My hatred was confirmed when we had to send one of our items back twice cos it was damaged each time.

Oh well - most of the Christmas shopping is done. Yay. We've tried not to spend too much on James as we know he won't really know what's going on, but there is so much nice stuff for bubbas. Proof, if it were needed, that Christmas shopping for babies is really for the parents...

Lewisham bloggers meet

Attended this event last night and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Great to meet people at last! Didn't get to chat to everyone though so will have to try better next time!
