That's why I don't use them all the time, and then as few as possible, plus I dry with tissue afterwards.

I have found that if you use too many they can make you feel a little bit sore.

As regards putting wipes in bins, I wrap them in a bit of loo paper first.
I've put worse stuff in bins, like when I had a dog.

(It wasn't the dog I put in the bin! :eek:)


They can also be useful for cleansing other parts if you want a quick freshen up.

Was like that in croydon at lunchtime, black ice, couldn't see it but boy was it slippery, I adopted the penguin walk, looked a prat, hands freezing but better than a broken elbow...



We now have about an inch, until lunchtime we had less than a centimeter from the whole 'cold snap'

Are you on your way home yet? I heard on the radio earlier that the buses had stopped running locally.

We've had no problems at all, but I have asked the manufacturers for a complete list of what they contain. Curiously, they don't publish this prominently, or at least not anywhere that I could find it.

I got a bit of a fright once.

Sainsbury's personal wipes are in pack almost identical to their toilet cleaning wipes, and I buy both, and once I almost used the wrong one on myself.

I was so concerned about the packs being so similar that I wrote to Sainsbury's about changing the colour of one of them.
They didn't seem overly concerned, and the packs are still the same.


Maybe rashy people are using toilet cleaning wipes thinking they are for personal use! :eek:

Maybe some other people have got nice, soft toilet seats

I do wish manufacturers would pay more attention to legibility on packaging, though. I have to keep a stronger pair of reading glasses in the kitchen because the g1ts like to use small print, sometimes even in poorly contrasting colours to make it even harder to read.

I bought a bottle of mouthwash the other day and even those glasses weren't enough, I had to use a torch as well to get enough light/contrast be able to read it - something like 1pt white type on a clear, shiny, background, on a clear plastic bottle containing pale blue liquid with, of course, the back of the front label visible as well :mad:

When I heard the weather was going to roll in, I did a bit of stocking up - not a lot.... I thought to myself "Ah, it'll be a bit bad/nippy Thursday, so a bit nippy/unwelcoming Friday" and so just bought a couple of small items, thinking it'd then be "back to the usual".

The garden's still shin height in snow, the outside of the windows are still frozen solid, having stayed like that all day .... and I really wish I had bought another couple of "more exciting" foody bits to eat... like some crisps or something.

It's surprising what you crave when you CBA to go out and get it

I'm not short of anything .... it's just a case of not quite fancying what I've got.

I got there without difficulty around 7:45, and back again, also safely, around 2ish.

Which winter was it when we had snow on the ground for about 2 continuous weeks in January? 2010? My neat screen wash froze, and the car thermometer said -13C IIRC.

Well, the last one like this was, I believe 2010, and it was the same arctic roll of doom.

That was the last major one by here, anyway.

Trains going south from London were stopping early this evening so had to drive miles to pick up DW from a station in a zone further into London.

I'm extremely wary of black ice!
