If you are queezy about toilet matters, don't read on. It all depends on your diet as to whether you get a messy bum or not. Eat the right foods and everything goes through very nicely and the waste matter comes out the other end in just the right texture. I am as regular as clockwork, every morning just after I get up. It takes a matter of a couple of minutes, and there is no mess at all on the paper. Very rarely need to go again until the following morning. <br /><br />I separate the two layers of paper, and scrunch up between finger and thumb, making a fluffy ball. Try this post.<br />http://meanqueen-lifeaftermoney.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/use-less-toilet-paper.htmlMeanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-10454475889915835972013-04-15T14:30:47.086+01:002013-04-15T14:30:47.086+01:00Agree with all you great tips Ilona, but #14 2 for...Agree with all you great tips Ilona, but #14 2 for a pee / 3 for a poo.

About PayPal, do open an account. I agree with Eileen about safety. Just be sure to NEVER NEVER reply to any smelly request for "account verification" or anything that sets off your "something's amiss here" alarlm. Rarely happens, but rarely isn't never.
