    Can't use newspaper, we don't buy them and it would be very hard using my form of news reading to wipe my bum with. The PC has very sharp corners.

    Haha you missed my Wilko post then ;)

    Can't bring myself to use recycled loo roll. I'm always tempted by the price, but as I soon as I realise it's recycled it goes back on the shelf!

    Can't live without "proper" (ie heinz) tomato ketchup and only buy cathedral city cheddar.

    Also think I might lose my mind if there wasn't a shelf full of lush products in my bathroom.

    Do the arabs have any grass to wipe their Ar*e. Sand would sure clean them but ohhhhhh the pain :rolleyes:

    I have been using Tesco Value for the past 7 months only to find that we were using around six rolls a week! (4 peeps in a household plus using kandoos)
    But when tesco was doing half price on Andrex quilted, I finally had the excuse to treat our bottoms!
    And when I got home, did my no.2, I had to sit there and just touch the softness of Andrex tissues and I have to say overwhelmed by the softness before it reached my bum. :o

    I love you Andrex Tissue!!!!!!!

    Oh! and for luxury I could'nt live without?
    It has to be the Clinique Clarifying Lotion and the Moisteriser.
  • Wow - I ask a question and pop out for a few hours, and there's loads of responses - I don't feel so guilty about my luxury now :D

    The idea about beauty colleges for cheap treatments is interesting - although I think the prospect of an inexperienced student attempting a Brazilian wax is perhaps a little too daunting :eek: :D

    Brazilian!!!! You must be joking, I've never been waxed above the knee. Well only once, when I had a bikini line wax and it bled!! It hurt so much I swore I'd never do that again.

    Oh and that wasn't at a college either, it was done by a fully qualified beautician :(

    they just use water [from a watering can with a funny shapped spout [to get in all those difficult to reach places].

    And on a serious note, you do feel nice and clean if you use water. I mean all paper does is smudge it around a bit and hopefully you wipe most of it off. Water cleans it off.


    And actually i do use this method :D
