  • I wish we could, but it would be rather expensive to do this. Kitchen rolls do not break up the same way as toilet rolls and are well known for blocking sewers - just in case you were seriously considering it :)



    No, I wasn't being serious (things aren't that bad yet1), although I did go an view a house once and when enquiring on the purpose of the strange washing line of flannels in the downstairs loo was told that they were used instead of toilet paper! The owner did say that they were all colour co-ordinated to match the owners toothbrush and not sharing was allowed (as if that made things better?).

    Hi there bob:j

    Thank you for posting.......I need to lock you in a room with me for an hour:rotfl:

    We can help you so much with your weekly shopping. If I had spent £25 in S I would expect a BM up to the limit of £10 which can be done easily.........it just takes a bit of planning......and resigning yourself to the fact that you might be buying stuff you are not ready to use this week but next month. Planning is the key. Starting a bit of a stash makes it workable.

    Please don't think I'm being smug....I really hope you stick around:T

    Thank you I am grateful for all the information. I should point out that I am buying for my business, not my personal at home shopping. I own a small cafe, which I buy a lot of stuff in the main supermarkets for. There are ways of going much cheaper than I currently do, but due to circumstances I shop little and often, use what I need, trade, buy more. So I am making money on what I buy. If that makes you feel any better at all?
    But please keep kicking me into touch, Im loving all the info.

    Well, it would only be like washing nappies :o

    Booger, lost me post :eek:

    I feel for you Savvy when you've done a long post and have it get eaten up somewhere in the ether :eek: Is it because I'm typing quickly? Or is it because of trying to delete too quickly? Doesn't matter which it is does it, 'cos the booger has gone!

    Anyway quick recap, I stayed home today as too many aches. Going to Santon Downgam tomorrow, weather permitting. If weather bad going to Ipswich to the flics. Will TAKE DH but he can pay. Going with Meerkats.

    My local church was on the Anglia news regarding the stolen lead. £6000 worth :mad::mad:

    Hi bubbs and welcome Trevv
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
