It has been lovely not having to pick up the passing children’s sweet wrappers from the garden.
But today we had the first blue glove, although we have seen lots on the ground and verges near us.

That is worse than sweet wrappers :-| :-|

I thought I was the only one who picked-up litter as I regularly meander along our local roads.

Gloves, tongs & bag - very satisfying to return home with it bulging after just one hour's stroll.

And that blue glove will very likely have infection on it. Very bad to just discard them

Not litter litter but I am having problems getting wood chip cat litter

Mr Tibbs is an outdoor cat but he stays in overnight so he has a litter tray just in case !

It’s used spasmodically and for more than a pee so I need to have it in situ

Just had my weekly Sainsbury’s shop delivered and no wood chip litter yet again

Soooo is desperation I went onto amazon and have ordered two 30litres bags for
£22 soo much cheaper than buying Sainsbury’s 10 litre bags at £5 plus

Think maybe it’s online shop for it from now on

You are so right, but OH had already picked it up with a stick and put it in the wheelie bin, and there was no way I was going wheelie diving.
At least there is a whole week before it is collected so over 72 hours.
