Whyis everyne so obsessed with buying _antibacterial_ wipes and hand sanitisers?

My DGSs love our bar soaps. A big novelty for them after only knowing (expensive) liquid soap. They call it 'rubby soap' and are amazed as it lathers up. Simple things please...

Jane10, do you remember making the soap lather up and blowing bubbles ? A good way of getting youngsters to use it!

curvygran I'd forgotten that! Must give it a go....

I got so fed up of the hand towel in the downstairs toilet being constantly wet (even though it's changed daily) with us both being at home 24/7 I gathered together all the face flannels I had and bought some extra £0.50p ones - put them in a basket and instructed my husband we have to use these instead of the towel. They go in a bin and I wash them on a hot wash with the rest of the towels every day. If it's good enough for the high end hotels it's ok for us! Result! No wet towel and no drips all over the floor tiles underneath it which was another bugbear

Good idea Willow. Cutting up an old towel into squares with pinking shears would do the job too .

Yes, a very good idea! BTW do pinking shears really stop fraying?

Alexa, they should do, but haven’t actually tried them on towelling yet ✂️

I like the dainty little guest towels that can be changed and washed frequently. Everyone thinks I'm an old fashioned fusspot but I hate using a damp towel.
