Not that I want to support America's sometimes extreme laws but the three strikes and you're out could be useful. The problem is that the do gooders would get their say and once again the victim is left to pay- like you fidget. There's no easy answer but I certainly don't approve of youngsters being chucked in jail either to come out and just be better criminals. People should certainly have the right to protect what they go out every day and work their a***s off for though.
perhaps any burglars could have accidentally 'fallen against' your piece of coral fidget...

Frank, I only have the corned beef in tins for occaisions such as now, when Max needs to take his tablets. I have tried everything else, and apart from sausages (the proper ones, not the hot-dog disgusting type ones), he will eat the coating then spit the pill out, even with cheese. So I get the cheapest corned beef, and 'mould' it around the pill, so it's coated with the awful stuff. That goes straight down.
As for cleaning out the tins, I wave it around under the hot tap to get most of the grot off, then it goes into a bag, when the bag's full (or the bin/recycling truck is around), it goes into the blue box.
Any boxes I get that are clean and dry (so nothing from the freezer) gets recycled at small-boy's school, for small child inventions. The Honey Hoops and Chocky Hoops are really sought after, as they have bee and bear masks on the back. Good job OH eats the chocky hoops by the bucketload. I've got about 6 of the flipping things to take in, as small boy was off with a grotty cold and cough, so with the half-term he's had two weeks off, given the cold to me and his little sister, now Daddy's getting it.
Oh, the joys of being a Mum to two small children!
I am a slut. I used to wash everything out, take the labels off, and not put the lids off milk bottles or jars (not wanted) into recycling. Then I discovered that they don't know what to do with all this stuff we are recycling, so it now goes in just as it is. Sometimes, I don't even bother. It's all a farce. Remember posting something I had read about the lunacy of recycling, but can't remember where.
Tina, I'm a slut also. I thought that cans & bottles were melted down so if so, don't labels etc. burm off? I do rinse cans at end of dish washing, or other half does, I cook he washes. But what is point in re-cycling if you have to use hot water to clean stuff before it goes in bins? Do remove tops from platics bottles. What I'm keen on is cutting up all plastic ring ties that go in general bin in case wildlife get caught in it at landfill.
My moan today is Betterware woman..did I ask her to put brochure thro' my letter box? NO. Did I want her banging on door like the police at 10.30am on a Sunday morning ? when H had nipped out and I was in the shower.
Last one!!! Shop bought carrots..years ago I remember my Dad club card in hand complaining at supermarket to the manager about them rotting. Was told to keep them in the fridge, even though out on shelves in shop. Dad having been a veg gardener was not happy. Years later, Dad now gone, I am still annoyed, buy them, dry them because they are always damp / sweaty, keep them in cool & dark or fridge they don't keep beyond 5 days. I swear the last lot had been semi frozen and rotten within 4 days. I don't have a local veg shop & market stall is naff. I should take them back but what's the point to get same things in return.
Actually you did mention it on here Tina. You're right - it will all go in one big vat. It reminds of someone who did a joke about curry houses- when all the different orders came in there was just one gigantic vat of generic 'curry' and all the orders came out of it!
KEF- I feel the same about soft fruit from supermarkets. It's obviously kept at a lower temperature than it should be - (almost frozen)which is hopeless. When you get it home it's rotten within a day or two because you're keeping at a normal temp.

Have you tried Lakeland stayfresh longer bags?I was sceptical at first but they really do keep veg and fruit longer in the fridge,I often buy reduced price veg which is on the sell by date,have kept french beans /carrots 2-3 weeks without problem.
Frank,always kept in a Frey Bentos pie" in case of emergency" as picked up from Mum,having tasted it ,the emergency would have to be Nuclear Disaster before eating it again,your pie however sounds delicious
Charlie, I'm kinking with laughing Are you Jack Reacher ? I don't mean Tom Cruise in recent naff film, but Reacher in Lee Child books..he could kick..**** & betterware people.
You're all so cruel. He/she is only trying to earn a crust. I have just bought a timer (cooker one broken) which, when it goes off, sounds like a cockeral. Took it in the garden today and when the hen and yapping dog started, I set it off, several times. I can just imagine what my neighbours are thinking. 'She's totally lost the plot'.
Some of the recent posts have totally lost me. Back to the home.

Gilly I'll check them out, thanks.
Charlie..still laughing.
p.s. Charlie, just checked your location and now understand the same humour.
