I went to a friends place for brunch and he served breakfast with some handkerchiefs.<br /><br />Much better for the environment too.youngandthriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088091906219844884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-86745629637105249152011-02-18T10:33:00.016-06:002011-02-18T10:33:00.016-06:00This is a really good idea- I had hankerchiefs gro...This is a really good idea- I had hankerchiefs growing up... I really like your point about not buying/avoiding single use products. I might have to adopt that.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277870339832290222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-46651440374696311662011-02-17T18:05:50.039-06:002011-02-17T18:05:50.039-06:00I remember having to iron my dad's hankies way...I remember having to iron my dad's hankies way back in the day!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681111721765764568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-12946569606623900072011-02-16T22:29:47.729-06:002011-02-16T22:29:47.729-06:00My hand is up too - am a hankie girl from way back...My hand is up too - am a hankie girl from way back. <br />Just love them! Our daughter embroidered my initial with flowers on one once - a beautiful gift :)<br /><br />The reason I changed over to them was that I'd had one too many machine loads with a sneaky tissue in a pocket that had escaped detection .... aaaaaargh - what a job to get shreds of tissue out of everything. <br /><br />So saying all that, in times of a heavy cold I resort to tp <i>(the same as Practical Parsimony)</i>... but, it goes straight in the bin NOT the pocket ;-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849036690807834080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-2208289762015569312011-02-16T20:37:30.736-06:002011-02-16T20:37:30.736-06:00I have always loved when people have hankies!

I can always work out how long he has been away.<br />Each day away he uses... <br />*One polo shirt( he no longer wears a blue singlet-the truckies uniform here. lol! since having cancer) <br />*One pair of 'stubbies (shorts)<br />*One pair of knickers<br />*One pair of Socks<br />*And one HANKIE!<br />I do have a box of tissues for guests and for an odd rare cold. <br />I also like ironed hankies.

Snot in the wash water is gross. Okay, I got this aversion from my mother. However, I do not use tissues. A little bit of tp works. Then, I can use a wet washcloth to get the end of my nose unyucky. You are absolutely right about one-time-use products. I would rather spend my money on traveling to see my grandchildren.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
