ARGH. my hands smell of algae.

during my party tim and red went to the all night gargage to procure essential supplies. one of these essential supplies was bogroll.
I am of course horrified that I failed to check up on the bogroll situation before the party started - I was labouring under the false impression that there was a spare roll. wrong. so wrong.
its not a good idea to run out of bogroll at a boozy party incase the guests start wiping their bottoms on the cat, the towels or your toothbrush. eek.
they came back with 2 bags. that's 18 rolls. I know my cooking is sometimes a little exciting, new and challenging but I don't generally cause mass diarrhoea on the sort of scale that requires that quantity of wipage.
so now I have toilet paper everwhere. I'm toilet paper rich. I'm beginning to fritter it away in frivolous enterprises. I'm using it to mop up spills in the kitchen that a sponge would normally be used for. just one nose blow and I throw the tissue away. its only a few days later and there are only 15 rolls left. what's happened to me? I've become an inhuman bogroll consuming machine. I'm getting urges to go to wendyhouse as a mummy...
this excess has made me realise the false ecconomy offered by costco and other bulk buy = savings type shops. those who have plenty use more. with the proper amount of bulk purchase I could both bankrupt myself AND be a one orange environmental disaster. no wonder costco is frequented by the type of people who drive 4x4s in suburban areas and insist on driving their precious sproglings the half a mile to school on sunny days.
I'm making it my personal mission never to buy in bulk ever again. perhaps you'll join me in my crusade - we'll be making the world a better place I assure you.

this has been a public service announcement on behalf of the orange party

haha! how bloody great - a whole post about bog roll :-)

one question: did anyone at the party wet lumps of it and catapult it up to the bathroom ceiling? I'd check if I were you! You don't want a half soggy lump of goo falling on your head of a morning, it would be most unpleasant!

I'm sure no one would though :-) your post just reminded me of the school toilets and what some people used to do with excess quantities of said paper :-) very silly...
