Bin Lorry

I've ceased to exist. Dad has ceased to exist. Food is no longer of any importance. Toddler has fallen in love.


A Tonka Mighty Motorised Orange Garbage Truck. Also called "Binny", I think a contraction of Bin Lorry. Or Bin-excited squeak.

I was given a clue that he'd love it this much by the squeals when the real bin lorry comes to get the bin, and the wails when the bin lorry departs.

Toddler is completely infatuated. I am almost totally happy he's so happy, but it has a reversing beep feature he turns on and leaves on, otherwise known as the give mum a headache button. I'm thinking about taking it apart and snipping the wire to the speaker. Would that be evil? Perhaps I'll wear the fluffy earmuffs my MIL got me for xmas instead. How synchronous of us all.
