Free sofa - Collect at Flixborough LOL

The half bag that I picked yesterday was filled up today, on Flixborough Industrial Estate. Such a lot of litter here. It was 4pm, it didn't take long to fill another bag. 
I found another fly tip. This has been a notorious black spot for people dumping rubbish in the past. It's at the entrance to a lane which goes to a chicken farm. There is a gate across but it is mostly left open.  A sofa in several large pieces. 

They put a camera on it a while ago which stopped a lot of it. Looks like it has started again. I wonder if the camera is real, maybe it's a dummy. 


My bags awaiting collection. 
I have to say that the Council are getting better at picking up my bags, and clearing away fly tips. That pile of recyclable rubbish I reported yesterday has been collected today. I am chuffed about that. 

My dinner tonight. Avocado, rice, and mushrooms. Very nice. 

Let's see what Friday brings. My Medical Centre has sent me a text. They are inviting people to come along tomorrow if they need help with the NHS App. I think I might go. You know what I think about Apps. 😁😝😟 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

At this point I got stuck. What a faff. I didn't get to the part where they want your card details. My advice, don't get sucked in. Paying for an app will not make you thinner, fatter, more mobile, or happier. That's the work you have to do for yourself. 

Live your life as you see fit. Stuff your face with junk food if you like, but be mindful of the consequences. 

Take responsibility for your health, don't hand it over to someone else to manage it for you. What you put in your mouth is your responsibility. You can be a happy fat person, or a happy thin person. 

Stop following others and do your own thing. Sort your head out first, and your body will be fine. There isn't a quick fix. Don't be a pin cushion.  

Believe in yourself. Join like minded friends locally in a class if you want to. Do the weekly weigh in if you want to. But never drift along with the crowd. Be a leader not a follower. 

Lunch for me today was an avocado on peanut buttered toast, topped with grated cheese. Now I am going out to fill that bag of litter I started yesterday.
