The skip is, apparently, definitely appearing tomorrow. Darling father has got rid of a chest of drawers and is about to get rid of a cupboard, replacing with plastic drawer towers.
One thing that is due to go into the skip is a compost bin. It is grossly oversized for the garden and we need rid. We checked today. Alas, not the lovely compost we were looking for - the compost bin is full of ants. It is seriously full of ants, heaving with them. They have a lovely, dark, ant's-nest-shaped, black plastic shape filled with things useful to ants. In short, they have had a good environment and they have filled it.
I have no idea what will happen tomorrow, as the compost bin actually has no base. When they try and lift it, all sorts of things will be spilling out. I am thinking of going in to town.
Mind you, given the state of the weather and the way the beck is rising, I suppose I should be glad that the compost bin isn't full of gold fish.

Hi Sybil
Don't worry, it's normal for compost bins not to have a base.
Oit'll take up quite a bit of space in the skip - have you thought about offering it on Freecycle?
Good luck tomorrow.WHx
Hazel - I am just waiting for all these ants to come tumbling out... The bin isn't in good shape, so not comfortable donating, though I did consider.
I wonder if there will be enough birds to enjoy any bounty, as most of the ones round here seem to be seed eaters. Also they would have to brave next door's cats, who have Views. Also teeth and claws. Nice Mr Next Door seems to have it all in hand. WS xxx
