Carbage.

Yes, that’s right garbage in the car!

List of things needed:

Cereal container

Bin bag or liner

Time needed: 2 minutes.

Here is an idea, which we have found extremely useful especially in the summer when we have kids in the car and have picnics in tow.

  Take a cereal storage canister put a plastic bag or liner in and replace the lid = instant car bin. It’s not too big so doesn’t take up too much space and stays upright so all the rubbish doesn’t end up in the foot wells and on the dash. Keep things neat and nasty smells inside the container. Really great for anything with a little bit of liquid left in too!

  As we all know taking the mandatory placky bag along with you on a long journey instantly lead to all sorts of arguments;

About who’s left the bag in the back with the kids leading to the lecture about suffocation and safety. The grumbling about it having holes in and who didn’t wrap the rest of Maisie’s ice-lolly in a wipe before putting it in the rubbish bag and its now melting all over the back of the car through the pesky little holes. The rustling and rummaging when you are trying to hear the sat nav…. Need I go on?!

So here we have it…The car bin a perfect solution to our first world problems.
