Bows!

Along with spending my days discussing toilet roll, I'm filling up my surplus spare time with lots of lovely things. That aren't toilet roll. I've spent today making an army of cheerleading bows for the group stunt competition that my squad have this weekend. 

I think I've definitely got a lot better at making them, you can see my first, rather embarrassing attempts, here. I'm super proud of these ones and think I'll make a little extra one for myself!



 

A little below the belt..

My housemate and I have just passed at least ten minutes having a vicious rant about toilet roll usage. I live in a house of four fellow students and it has come to my attention this week, that we have used TWELVE TOILET ROLLS IN A WEEK. That's a toilet roll a day! Slightly more, actually. Now that, dear reader, is wasteful.

It's very scary to be writing this post, because I'm so massively aware that I sound just like both of my parents rolled into one. Which I suppose is exactly what I am, but I can just hear my dad.. "What are you doing, eating it?!" Now that I've finished my degree it would seem that the most important thing I have to worry about it is how much toilet roll we use in a week.

I can't help but feel that if we were to invest in some slightly more exciting toilet roll, people might be more inclined to use it a little more sparingly..



Rant over, thanks very much for listening.
