    Thank you!

    I've just thought of another one which has to be the best....

    Anyone else blow their nose with the loo roll before using it for it's intended purpose?

    Of all the things posted onn here the dental floss almost made me heave - and I am not prone to squeamishness! Sorry dental floss is a one use item! As for the loo roll that seems to be a perenial favourite on here not that I have ever felt the need to my self but I wouldnt be adverse to it.

    errmmm - that's me in the quiet corner here:o:o and there's another thing i do with the tissue too before it gets flushed.. but i can't tell you what..now that's way-too-much-information!:eek::eek::eek: if this chimes with someone, pls share! (as in admitting you do this too, not sharing the used-tissues!!)

    on a less than humilating note, i use the stolen serviettes (from Morrisons cafes etc) that have been used at dinner time to wipe the detritus from the dinner plates and pots before they go into the washing-up bowl. that way, i use less washing-up liquid in the long-run..

    and re. the used dental-floss, now that's sosoosososo disgusting, but pls.. there's enough of it to go round for months doesn't it?! i have plenty bought massively reduced for a big box of 10, i can send you some if you like!!

    oh, re. the shaving aspect -

    i don't shave v often only when it's warm weather time and i'm wearing skirts more. thankfully, the hairs on my legs are only on the inside calf and in the middle bit of the muscle (yes, v strange, me!) and a few strays on the outside of the calf. i don't have hairs on my thighs thank goodness...and my arm hair minimal so that's a good thing too. in the winter the razor only gets used once a week for my armpits and that's all. and it's done with a v. old disposable women's razor that prob. gets changed every 2mths in the summer, and in winter = well, till i use it again the Spring!
