    Instead of buying "Small Dog" dental chews I buy the only-slightly-more-expensive "Large Dog" version and cut them in half.

    You mean the chew don't you? Not the dog! Just in case anyone gets ideas...

    There's a technique with toilet paper known as the 'rope pull' where you stand facing away from the roll, thread it between your legs and then pull in one constant steady motion (a bit like using dental floss). Its much more paper efficient although takes some practice.

    I was intrigued by this suggestion, so decided to try it.

    The staff in Asda weren't too impressed, but it seems to work a treat!

    In addition you can also wear them back-to-front. Although that may depend on a particular person's ......... nah, I won't go there.

    .........and keep any glittery gift bags received to use for someone else's birthday/xmas present next time. That's just sensible!
