Well you could just gather up all the cans into a bag for recycling. If you happen to fall(like I did)with 2 fractured ribs...the bag of cans made a great pillow to land on. Then I got paid for recycling the cans...

Good tip. I’m accident-prone. Think I’ll start carrying a bag of cans around, just in case. [emoji23]

I've had a steamy session in my living room while watching tv.;)
Yup - been ironing again!:)

I am just about to turn in for the night because I'll have to be up and organised earlier than I've been used to tomorrow, I can't turn up at the hospital in my PJs!!
My nephew is going to accompany me in a taxi as none of family with cars is available and I'm still nervous about going out on my own.
I really don't know how I would have coped without him while I've been home. I owe him big time!
Anyway hope everyone has a good Friday and I'll be popping in to let you know if I've been given the boot!
So take care and Nos Da.

Good luck at the doctors today, Lyn!

Everyone must be out partying!

Overcast, cold, dreery AND calling for a mixed rain/snow shower here soon. The good news is that on Saturday it’s going to be close to 77° sunny and warm. The cherry blossoms in Washington should be starting to pop out pretty soon with peak bloom expected in the first week of April.

We used to have “paper drives” too when i was in Scouting. Every few months or so, we would walk the streets of our town and collect bundles of newspapers that ppl had put out. We’d collect, then truck to a recycling center to earn money for our Troop. I don’t suppose too many people do that.

Glass bottles in some states will say 5 cent deposit. Collect enough and it adds up.

There was talk a few years ago about bringing back the the old system of paying for returnable bottles. but like all things it was just talk.

I have to say...the older newspapers didn't get used for birdie toily paper. That kind goes to the landfill including the Timothy wabbit litter. Pretty soon our landfill is going to have the biggest earthworms on the planet.
We have recycling bins into which we can put papers, card, plastic and cans, clean foil etc, and the council actually check our bins to make sure we are recycling the right stuff. Sadly there's always an anti social/environment element of society who just can't be bothered and put it all in the landfill bin and I get really mad at people who just drop their litter out of their cars. I have joined a group which does voluntary litter picking around the area but obviously I've been not been too active lately.

No mountains ever since they let Norway go... :(
:D
I've had spots bigger than those!!
I can't imagine living anywhere without hills and mountains. One of my sisters lives in the Midlands where it's really flat and I always think there's something missing when I visit.

Good afternoon/morning all.
Good news - I have a boot!!:)
I can start to weight bear but still have to use crutches for now.
It's quite painful at the moment but there will be some physio sessions to attend so it should get easier.
The doc doesn't want to see me for about 6 - 8 weeks unless there's any problems.
My foot still looks a bit of a mess and I am surprised at how bruised it is, but I can wet and wash it now which I'm really looking forward to.
A foot that's been unwashed for 6 weeks is not a pleasant thing! :confused:
Hope you are all having a good day and warming up for the weekend.
