Atissue! atissue!

[NannaB]

2000 tissues in fact. Kleenex man size are on offer so I bought all they had left. The checkout girl asked me if I was selling them on to make a profit. She was joking....I think.

[jzygirl]

[Doglinton]

I have a good supply but you win !!

C crumples them up . I need to keep removing them or he finishes with a huge crumpled ball.

[NannaB in reply to Doglinton]

My C does the same. I try and buy Kleenex when they are on offer as if they accidentally go in the washing machine, they come out in one piece so don't ruin the washing. I took 3 washed ones into him the other day and told him he could use them again as the machine must have put his torn tissues together again. I didn't make him use them though I was very tempted.

[abirke in reply to Doglinton]

Yes , same like B..... one wipe; crumple, try to use again, on to the next....I have found the dog has uses for them taht I'm sure the vet would scold me for.....I can't keep my eye one both ALL the time.....

The light is off so you can't see the dust.

[abirke in reply to NannaB]

hahahaha...I can't see dust...strange but true ! it's a condition called, dermatophagioamaurosis....It's a common condition affecting 2 out of 1 people who do not like to dust yess, 2 out of 1....hey I'm not a scientist but I do like to make up words that are based on some fact!!!hahaha

AVB

[NannaB in reply to abirke]

Whey hey! I'm the other 1 of the 2. Have you seen the poem someone posted here some time ago, which started, Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter. If you haven't, Google it, it's brilliant.

Off to give C his breakfast and then I think I'll continue painting the picture I've started.

[abirke in reply to NannaB]

Remember to share your picture, girl! I'll venture out to dust poetry or poetry dust....funny...how those two words work fwd and backward. I love words that can be a noun or a verb!

[jzygirl in reply to NannaB]

I was told once that is a scientific fact that dust will only get so deep and then no deeper. So now i have a notice up that says "dust testing in progress please don't touch the experiment" . Oh how we do change our ways. Janexx

[NannaB in reply to jzygirl]

That's brilliant. Can I copy you? When our middle son graduated some years ago, the person presenting the degree certificates was Sandi Toksvig, well known in the UK but not sure about anywhere else. When she gave her talk to the graduates she gave it a big build up saying something like, "You may not take in much of what I'm going to say but there is one very important piece of advice I'm going to give you that I want you to remember for the rest of your life". She then went on to say they will all do different jobs, have different things going on in their life, this is the beginning of their future etc. she then said, " So here it is, the best piece of advice I can give......Don't dust".

The ceremony had been very long and serious but after this is everyone relaxed. She then gave the scientific reason why. I can't remember anything else she said but have never forgotten that.

Another thing that happened that I'll never forget.....our son is 6ft 2in, Sandi 4ft something. When she handed him his certificate, he picked her up and swung her round 360'. The hundreds of people in the hall cheered and clapped, C and I were in shock.

My motto is, why do today, that will only need re-doing tomorrow!!! Works for me. (Plus having a cleaner!!!)

Lots of love

Heady

[abirke in reply to Heady]

You have a cleaner....oooh i'm so jealous....and lazy hahaha....

[Heady in reply to abirke]

Yes, I know I am spoilt!!! It was part of a pay agreement with my husband, years about!!!

Lots of love

Heady

[NannaB in reply to Heady]

I don't have a cleaner as I'd have clean before they got here......and tidy up.

[Heady in reply to NannaB]

I do tidy up and yes, make sure certain places aren't to disgusting!!! But that's only a quick run around before she arrives. Worth the aggro!!

Lots of love

Heady

[abirke in reply to NannaB]

Oh I would have loved to see that! hahaha

[abirke in reply to jzygirl]

hahahahaah...I like it!

[Amilazy]

Thanks for the good idea I have been using paper kitchen towels as M's drooling has got worse also useful for keeping PEG clean. As you say they go through the washing machine without shredding but probably a bit rough, will go on look out for men size tissues see if they are as absorbent and cost effective.

Thanks Tim

[NannaB in reply to Amilazy]

They are more expensive than kitchen towels but softer and I only buy them when they are on offer.

[Amilazy in reply to NannaB]

Thanks NannaB will try them out as you say if they are on offer.

[mthteach in reply to NannaB]

NannaB,

I coupon whenever possible. I use: couponfleamarket.com to order coupons. Then I watch mycouponexpert online and look for sales. Most of the time, I find my best bargens at Publix.

Example:

tuna in pouch was 1.25 at Walmart

onsale at Publix for 10 for $10

I ordered 30 coupons $1 off 3 of them

I paid about .67 for each in the end.

I hope this helps you.

[NannaB in reply to mthteach]

I never thought of that. I'll try it.

Thanks.

Doesn't it go atisssue atissue all fall down ? -oops!

[NannaB in reply to Georgepa]

It does but I thought it was too true for all of us.

Have a good day both of you. Horrible a drizzly here. We are supposed to be going to the U3A monthly meeting this afternoon but if it's raining Colin gets a lap full of water collecting in his wheelchair waterproof cape just getting in the car so it's not worth going. Our middle son is doing his regular Tuesday visits again now the festivals have finished so I'll be helping him replace a high kitchen cupboard door.

I hope the sun shines on all of us.

[easterncedar in reply to Georgepa]

TISSue?!! I don't even KNOW you! (Sorry. Hilarious in elementary school.)

[NannaB in reply to easterncedar]

Quite funny in senior citizen school as well x

[showaddy]

Every morning when we wake up it looks as if its been snowing indoors! Steve uses loads of tissues in the night and then drops them on the floor! Our local Morrisons had the tissues on offer so yes, also bought loads. (good Yorkshire thrift). I tend to go through 6 or so kitchen towels a week. Think Kleenex and Plenty have good profits due to all of us using their products!

[NannaB in reply to showaddy]

How are you getting on with your coughing machine? I googled it and showed it to our health visitor and GP. They couldn't provide one of those but did get us the pump so we can now suck saliva. Thanks for that post.

[showaddy in reply to NannaB]

I love the 'coughing machine'. Don't know what we would do without it. Glad you have a pump which helps. I have noticed on the site that different authorities have different aids and rules for chc etc. We are having a visit from Dawn tomorrow (from the cass team) so it will be interesting what she comes up with next! She is so helpful and really wants to help. Onwards and upwards xx
