BECOMING THINNER ...

 ... Not me. When The Old Girl's away I manage to sneak in some potato chips, eat some chocolate and drink an extra glass of wine. The outcome is certainly not a Michelangelo's David-like-figure.


Maybe more like this one:


Not Robert either since he's self-appointed himself as an ice cream evaluator. I can't imagine any skinny ice cream eaters can you?


No, this post is about the annoying bin liner bags we use that seem to be becoming ever thinner and more tearable.

Now I'm all for conservation and the reduction of plastic use in the environment but when you have to double up bags because of splitting and tearing then it seems to be a wasted exercise. 


I've tried the compostable ones as well but, unless you use up the roll as soon as possible they begin to decompose and tear to shreds.

We've got a drawer full of various plastic bags from Eco to industrial, most of which we don't use because  they are useless.

I use 4U and Pam's kitchen liners and have not had any split. Lynn's bin which you graffitied over does look a larger size though. Maybe that'd be an excuse to downsize before she returns.
I agree with you about the compostable bin liners. We have them at work and I've never heard a good comment, they start dissolving.

Make yourself useful. Go and teach Robert arithmetic.

It's easy Rob, just add on every zero. 1,000,000 x 5,000,000 = 5,000,000,000,000. Five trillion. (Six zeros plus six zeros equal twelve zeros.)
