Tell Me Something............Anything!

I'm as guilty as the others for keeping crap, but at least mine is useful crap!

I found used birthday cake candles and broken shoelaces in one drawer I cleared out. Why? Bonkers!!

I did similar yesterday, including scrubbing the kitchen floor (70 year old quarry tile), came up quite nice. Spent a lot of today in the back garden with a friend, we cut back next door's tree which is overhanging the boundary and engulfing my garage, filled up three large green wheelybins. Knackered now.

I hope you offered to return the cuttings to him, apparently it's theft if you don't! Or criminal damage or something crazy.

I've got used birthday cake candles in my kitchen drawers, they get blown out straight away so they can last a few goes!

Broken shoelaces I draw the line at however

... only if it's fruit bearing apparently (or some such nonsense)

Other than that it's just considered a common courtesy
Personally I think it would be common courtesy if my neighbour cut back his holly tree before it does serious criminal damage to our garden ..

Anything that grows over my wall from adjacent property gets weedkillered! Been doing it for years, they're all probably too dumb to figure out what I'm doing.

Indeed - you have a perfect right to cut them back if they overhang the boundary between your property and his, but since the tree is in his garden, the overhanging branches are his property. Though relations would have to have become really bad, if your neighbour complained about you not returning them to him

Put the broken shoelaces in your pocket, so that next time you are out and about and come across a pregnant woman about to give birth, you can use the shoelaces to tie off the umbilical cord. Unlikely that you should confront this situation, but as Boy Scouts would say: "Be prepared".

I suspect I'd find carrying a gun more useful here.

He's a nasty b*****d, hardly anyone in the road will talk to him. My friend let a small amount of the debris fall on his side. If I returned the bulk of cuttings he would be annoyed.

I now have the thicker cuttings, over 1" diameter which I'm not allowed to put in the green wheelie-bin. Thinking of buying the Titan electric chainsaw from Screwfix (just under £50) to deal with the thick stuff. I also have a tree to come down in my garden at a later date. I already have a Titan electric hedge trimmer, great tool at a very reasonable price.
