WEEK ENDING SUN 24 FEB
Please look at http://www.ourgreeneryear.blogspot.com/ as I have posted a photo of the small bag of rubbish we put out this week.
RUBBISH for week 1 bag from kitchen bin
OUR LACK OF RUBBISH - DAY56 - feb 25
Thought I'd post a picture of the rubbish we put out this week.
The bottle next to the bag is a 2litre pop bottle.
All the rest of our rubbish has gone into either the recycling bin or the compostable bin

DAY 52 - feb 21
Today is the first day this week I have been able to put laundry outside to dry as we have had alot of fog, and this does not help clothes dry!!
I was really impressed with the recycling facility on Monday; it is designed in a horseshoe shape with the different units in the middle and parking either side of the roadway running around these.
It was clean and tidy and all units were clearly labeled, there were even 3 men to help with heavier items if you had them.
I will definitely be looking more at what we can take to this facility in the future. Maybe make this a bi-monthly trip depending on what we have to take, I don't have very many tetra-paks and that is the main thing for me, although I could combine a glass run with it instead of the normal bottle banks that I use at the moment.

WEEK ENDING SUN 17 FEB
Again all things seem to have going into the correct bins and also we only had 1 bag to go into the rubbish bin; can't seem to get this any lower.
Today myself and David are taking a trip to the local recycling centre to take a few items we can't put into the normal bins which are collected.

Visit to the Recycling Centre - Day 49 - feb 18
Today myself and David who has an extra day off school are taking some items to the recycling centre. These are things we cannot put into any of our collected bins.
2 printers
1 old nonworking monitor
1 nonworking deskfan
bag full of tetrapak cartons (can be put into rubbish bin - but I want to recycle these).
This is also a newish facility which is supposed to have a better setup than the last one so worth a visit anyway to have a nosy.

The service I joined to stop junk mail seems to have worked as I don't really get any uninvited junk mail now. YAH!!!

DAY 42,43,& 44 - feb 11,12 &13
The boys are off school this week (half term) so I am not really able to do much in the way of sorting etc.
I seem to be constantly baking though, I have used a dozen eggs just on snack items for them and will require more baking again for the weekend.
As David is on a football course tomorrow and Friday and I'm combining taking him with my errands and grocery run, also keeps him happy as he doesn't have to shop with mum. Thomas will stay at home whilst I do this.
I have found a comparison site for 4 of the big name supermarkets in UK which allows you to pick which one you want to shop in then at the end will let you know if your trolley would have been cheaper elsewhere or if you swapped to a similar but different product how much you would save. There is also a offers section under the individual aisles so you can do a comparison on what offers are available.
I have 3 supermarkets all within 10 minutes drive of each other so I can quite easily go to all 3 if necessary to pick up the bargains.
The website is www.mysupermarket.co.uk .
This all helps a challenge I'm doing to try and lower my grocery budget by approx £10 per month by the end of the year, not alot I know but if we are still eating good healthy homecooked food, then there is no need to line the supermarkets pockets, better off having that amount in a savings account.
