Plastic Bags

I was pretty grumpy when our nanny state decided to tell me I cant have plastic bags from my dairy or takeaway.

Mainly because I had to go and buy plastic bags for my home rubbish bins, when I used to use the bag I got from the shop. Last night I went for takeaways and was given plastic bags to carry it home. I said I thought you couldn't do this any more, she replied no its ok if the bag doesn't have handles. Go figure, plastic bags with handles are more dangerous than plastic bags without handles who'd have thought. Mind you I'm happy again because guess where they fit, you got it, in my rubbish bin under the sink, outstanding.

Just a thought: these would be a good means for someone to fundraise. Bamboo stakes in the stores sell for $2-$3 each! Massey West, Don Buck Rd
