You were lucky to have loo roll to clean it up withi spilled grand marnier on the floor and had to clean it up with loo roll cause there was nothing else. I hope the room doesn't smell of it.

Good times (for a change).Against all the odds, 2 amazing things occurred today:
- Home delivery courtesy of Sainsbury's
- 2 packs of loo roll delivered.
Good times (for a change).
Please, please, please let me get what I ordered.See, the luck I've had
im in a hostel. cant run out of loo roll. at least I HOPE we cant. nah, we cant. it's that cheap paper thin scratchy stuff that nobody wants. and if we do then ill steal some from the bathroom at work.You were lucky to have loo roll to clean it up with
Actually, I'm okay for loo roll but could do with some tinned tomatoes. They seem to be the Holy Grail at Tesco, along with pasta and eggs. They are now being rationed to three tins per person per shop. Last week I ordered two tins and got one. Who is eating all these bloody tomatoes, that's what I'd like to know. Old sheets?? That's just weird. When I was little, if we ran out, we would sometimes use torn up strips of newspaper. I think it harked back to the wartime (and beyond) when people must have done that routinely. These days nobody's buying physical newspapers which makes that more difficult. Much harder to wipe your arse with your iPad.im in a hostel. cant run out of loo roll. at least I HOPE we cant. nah, we cant. it's that cheap paper thin scratchy stuff that nobody wants. and if we do then ill steal some from the bathroom at work.
I like the term 'loo roll' by the way! im using it now.
I hope you get some loo roll soon pep pep! if not cut up some old sheets (and put them in a bin like they do in Greece)!

Yes, then there was the issue of the newsprint rubbing off. It really wasn't great, I must admit.
don't call my ideas weird, pep! old sheets is a way better idea than newspaper, which becomes sharp when crinkled and doesn't conform to the contours of your arse. I don't see how anyone could have ever used old newspaper.
i don't even know what people do with tinned tomatoes at the best of times pep! make chili? it's so weird what people are buying.
oh I see! well now I know! you should write a letter to the newspaper explaining how tinned tomatoes are one of the only things you can cook with and imploring people to keep their paws off the tinned tomatoes when they see them at the store or to drop them off on your doorstep (don't touch them for a day or two). I would send you some if only they weren't so damned heavy!Yes, then there was the issue of the newsprint rubbing off. It really wasn't great, I must admit.
Oh, I am the Queen of Tinned Tomatoes! I use them A LOT because there are so many things I can't eat, and I need to cook stuff that everyone else will eat. Things I Make With Tinned Tomatoes include: chilli con carne; curry; chicken casserole with rosemary; bolognese; meatballs in tomato sauce. As you can see, they are fairly indispensable. I start to panic when my stocks get below 3 tins.

the things ive been buying is bags and bags of cookies. peanut butter cookies, shortbread cookies, ginger cookies, Chinese chews. I don't know what is wrong with me, I cant get enough cooooookkkkiiiiieees
and it shows
I love monopoly! im so up for being on lockdown with you pep!!It's the stress, I'm certain of it. We are all being tested in weird ways right now. I keep having to explain to my 86-year-old mother how to type emojis in emails because she keeps forgetting. And my 18-year-old's idea of 'lockdown' was shutting himself in his room with multiple beers and doing several lines of ketamine. f***ing idiot.
To overcome the stress (and boredom) I have bought Monopoly on eBay. In my mind, this will foster jolly evenings filled with raucous laughter around the dining table. I do fear, however, that it might cause another Christmas Punch-Up. My eldest has always been a terrible loser.
Yay! I love Monopoly too! We could have cookies and gin and tonics! Well, you could. I could have dark chocolate, I guess.I love monopoly! im so up for being on lockdown with you pep!!
oh dear whats a "Christmas punch up" entail and would such a thing really arise from losing at monopoly?
well, anyway, I think that's a brilliant idea. I hope you get your jolly evenings filled with raucous laughter. im sorry that you have to be even more stressed at this time. hows the writing going, by the way?
thanks for the link, pep! I actually already saw that in my email and thought "ooh..." and then forgot about itYay! I love Monopoly too! We could have cookies and gin and tonics! Well, you could. I could have dark chocolate, I guess.
Wait, do they have a Canadian Monopoly, with your own street names etc? Or is it the original London one you play? These days there's a Monopoly for just about every eventuality. There will probably be a Coronavirus edition (Go to Hospital. Go straight to Hospital. Do not pass Tescos. Do not collect tinned tomatoes).
Two Christmases ago, my kids had an actual, proper punch-up (like a bunch of pikeys) and the TV got smashed. Actually smashed, with a big crack across the screen. And yes, my two sons can argue about pretty much anything if they're in the mood.
grab it now because I don't think the offer will be up there for much longer.
