Oh Oh Oh, I've Bought A Bucket...

I am pretty proud of my new bucket, 2 people already asked me about it even though I don't usually speak with many people in general, but I must say that my bucket is very special indeed, it is actually an ash bucket with a lid, something I had been looking for in the shops for a long time.

You see, I have a fireplace at home, and I like to light a fire now and then, especially now that I don't really need to have the heat on in the whole house and it's nice to have a cosy night in front of the TV with a nice warm fire. My only problem, up until now, was cleaning the ashes the morning after the night before; of course it's always going to be a pain to clean the ashes but now that I've got a new metal bucket WITH A LID, I can wait until it's full before I empty the cold ashes in the bin and since there is a lid, I don't care about having ashes in my sitting room, since nobody can see them. Also having a lid on my ash bucket means that I can now walk all the way to the back kitchen (where I will pour the cold ashes in a plastic bag before heading for the wheelie bin) without fear of spilling any of these dirty ashes.

I am so proud of my new bucket that I even made up a song about it (I don't get out much): I stole the tune of I've Got a Rocket by Goldfrapp, which is a pretty catchy tune; here it goes:
Oh oh oh, I've bought a bucket,
Oh oh oh, you're going in it,
Oh oh oh, you're never coming out!

I am sorry, but I have had this tune in my head for weeks (not that I'm complaining, I like the song, I always sing it in the car, very out of tune, to annoy the kids!) and, like I said, my bucket is very special, I just couldn't help it!
