I am having very intrusive thoughts about the recycling skip I saw outside the leopold shopping centre last week.

The amount of cardboard in it would suppress all of my oxalis problems. I am very tempted to contact who ever manages the centre to see if they're cool with it but illegally dumpster diving cardboard just seems exciting.

i can't believe I just said that.

I love these confessions. Here's mine. Sometimes I eat those cheese slices that everyone calls "plastic cheese" on it's own for a snack. Not just one of them. Usually it's 3 or 4.

I reckon they'll be cool with you taking the boxes and if they're not then they are arseholes.

I love processed cheese slices. they are easy and don't need refrigeration. Years ago when I stayed at Miss Seagoon's place and wasn't cooking much I used to live off those, apples and walnuts and choco dinosaur biscuits

Sorry but not sorry.

First in best dressed. Go get your cardboard before someone else grabs it or the skip goes.

I can't see them having a problem with it, people adding their own rubbish tends to be a bigger issue with cardboard dumpsters.

If you go to your local supermarket when they are stacking the shelves, just ask for the cardboard boxes, we don’t care, it’s less work for us having to compact them. I have people ask quite a bit for moving or weed suppressing.

nothing suppresses oxalis! You're stuck with it for life!
