inside food bin
Hi all. Loved our new food bin when it was winter. But come summer have found it is nothing more than a food trough for the flies and of course their gross babies. the lid doesn't even close properly so you cant leave it in the kitchen which means unless you are skipping this white bin and going straight for the little green bin it defeats the purpose. If we have to pay for this surely the council could have figured out how the lid was going to keep pests out. (maybe have a chat to tupperware - ha ha) Anyway until winter our one has been put aside.
Interested to find out how everyone else is going.

Time for a clear-out?
Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale
On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.
Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.
