"Living alone means my options are limited.
True ! I just took mine out  "
When I was married, we did have certain jobs that we each did. I did the house stuff, ironing, laundry etc. He tended to do the out door stuff. But if he wasn't around or not feeling well, I put them out without question. |

When I was married I did everything in the house and garden, sorted out the bills and the car and looked after the children and animals.
I feel somewhat diddled now. |

"I get confused every week. What colour 
Look at what the neighbours have put out "
I try and confuse the street, but they’re all very sure of what bin goes out, plus they know I’m an idiot. |

"I also unblock the shit filled toilet when he drops a huge log and uses half a roll of toilet paper.
Too much information June.
Not man enough to read the word shit and log?"
My two favourite words. |

That's because everyone else kept the little leaflet you get once a year, reminding you of collection days for the year in little coloured boxes |

Yep, I just wet my finger and stick it in the air, if the wind comes from the east it’s a black bin day! |

Oh yes my feminist principles are utterly destroyed by this. I look in the mirror and tell himself that it's bin day. Then get changed from ballgown into work trousers, put the bins out, come inside again and tell herself that it's a job well done. Then I can put on a new ballgown and glass slippers, Cinders shall go to the ball! |

"Depends on whose bins they are.
Gawd help the neighbours if they offer to do it for you 
Damn right cheeky fuckers......."
We all take each others bins in for each other, we are all lovey dovey. You would hate it |

"Living alone means my options are limited.
 
And if I decide one week I can’t be bothered my feminist principles allow that too. "
Living alone means my bins often aren't full enough to warrant the effort |

"at least women have principles"
Some women do, some men do, I don’t view people as a collective unit, but rather take them individually on their merits. |

There’s a little trick to this. There’s a bit of walk to get to the gate. What my mum does is to leave a drink for the lads (I think it’s only men, I’ve never seen a woman with them). They normally stop for a few minutes to have some tea and biscuits and a toilet break if necessary. In return, my parents and now I, haven’t had to take the bin out for 50 years. We also haven’t had to buy rubbish bags in that time either as they always leave us with much more than we would ever use. I still have rolls of it from a decade ago.
They also always get a big bottle of whisky, a card and tip at Christmas. I think they’ve rather adopted my mum. |

This sounds like an excellent idea. |

Up until a few years ago it was always expected to leave something out at Christmas for the rubbish guys and the postie - people don’t seem to do it anymore. |

It's definitely one of my least favourite chores so if Hubby will do it for me, then great!
But we don't divide our chores by man jobs and woman jobs, we divide them based on who hates it least |

Yes, the postie as well. Our house is somewhat remote and we can get enormous snow drifts that block the lanes nearby. These men are heroes because they’ve often made the effort to get to the house regardless and had a chat with my parents. They always introduce the new ones to my parents, which is why it has been an unbroken tradition to stop by for 50 years.
A little corner of old England left, I suppose. |
