The latest news on our bins is that there's no news, other than the fact that the contractors still aren't able to find our street - and we're now into week seven.
But there should be developments of one sort or another within the next 24 hours.
I spoke to a friend at the Yorkshire Evening Post last night who said she understood the Leeds bin strike could come to an end later today.
And if it doesn't, I can expect to receive a call from a reporter with a view to running a story on my grievances in the paper later this week.
So, whilst we wait, I'll share a quick piece of extremely loosely related trivia with you.
We haven't heard a lot from that old warhorse Osama bin Laden in recent months - rumour has it he's been having trouble getting his hands on cassettes following the closure of Woolworths.
However - question - do you know when his name was first referred to on the Internet?
Answer - something like 15 years ago following the discovery of a bomb in Northern Ireland. Sir Patrick Mayhew, the Secretary of State at the time, was asked by the media for some more detail on what had been found, to which he replied, "a wheelie bin laden with explosives." True story - and I thank you.
Tonight, Vanessa and I are off to have dinner with a famous virgin. More on that tomorrow.
