Paul says he's convinced the girl next door has been secretly using his bin — and not just for the odd bit of rubbish. He claims he's caught her dumping things she doesn't want in her own, and to make matters worse, recyclables keep ending up in the wrong place, leaving him getting called out by the bin collectors. After politely bringing it up before and being met with total denial, Paul is now stuck between keeping the peace and starting an all-out neighbour war. Is he overreacting… or would this drive anyone mad? Listeners had plenty of thoughts and advice.

Sarah desperately wants to support one of her best friends at her baby shower… but there's a catch. The event is all the way in Donegal, costs €60 a head for food alone, and that's before paying for travel, accommodation and a gift.
