I have a squasher thing (technical term) for the bin. Like this https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bm...L1500_.jpg Its amazing how much more you can cram in!
Back's on the mend, thanks, it's only muscular and something that happens at least once a year. I've pulled these particular muscles by just sneezing in the past, this time was reaching over to close the car door. Daft really but its a sod when it happens and takes a week to get better.
That contraption is really good if you haven't got a Paul. It looks like an instrument of torture.
