The toilet paper experiment

If there’s one thing that annoys me is racing into a stall to go to the loo and finding – after you’ve started – that there is no toilet paper!

Arghh.

I noticed that it happened quite often in my stall of choice at work while other stalls seemed to be well supplied.

It occurred to me that my toilet stalls are very likely not equally used and I wondered which ones were used more often.

Knowing the popularity of the stall position would inform my choice and give me a greater chance of getting a stall with paper.

Up there for thinking – right?

Last night I was at work late – there was a quiz night on site – my table won – and I realised that now was the perfect time to see which stalls get the most use.

I snuck upstairs to the ladies and took a photograph in each stall and this is what I found.

Our facilities have a mirror/washbasin area followed by four stalls in a row. 

Stall 1

Stall 2

Stall 3

Stall 4

Now as you can see Stall 1 has the least toilet paper. For some reason… laziness(?), urgency(?)… people choose the stall closest to the door.

Stall 2 has the most.

Stall 3 still has quite a bit

Stall 4 had already gone through a whole roll and nearly finished another two.

From this I concluded that people feel more comfortable at the extremities of the room.  Perhaps it was the fact you only have one shared wall.  Stalls 1 and 4 were definitely the most used.

For those who don’t mind the middle stalls, I’m guessing they choose to leave a gap between them and the occupied toilet – most likely to be stall 1 – you know for privacy.  Not that you can’t hear EVERYTHING.

Which means, if you want to be guaranteed a better chance of being able to wipe your bum – choose stall 2.

Does your experience back my conclusions? Why not do the same experiment and compare results?

And by the way, what is the etiquette when you are caught short in a public loo?

Appreciating the unappreciated

Just a quick note to point you towards Chuck Westerbrook’s blog where he is conducting a blogging experiment to highlight and throw some loving towards blogs with great content but perhaps low readership.

I’m intrigued to see who he chooses to support!  

Of course everyone who signs up (including me) hopes it will be them whose selected from among the masses as a fantastic blog who needs to be recognised but the reality is, your blog stands or falls on its content.

It’s interesting.  I started writing this blog for myself I guess, as a record of our lives… it was public, then it wasn’t, now it is again.

I didn’t realise how much I appreciated you, dear reader, until earlier this year I lost my site for three days. OMG I was bereft!

An effluent area

I like to go for a walk along Marine Parade, Cottesloe, one of Perth’s premier beaches. 

The other week I got up early to go for said walk.  It was the day after an early Summer day and at 6.30 in the morning the air was clear with the promise of a lovely warm day.

It was a little breezy and as I walked through the suburb to the beachfront the pages of a copy of “The Financial Review” fluttered past me.

A suburb of affluence I thought as I bent to pick up the pages closest to me.

As I reached Marine Parade I saw that the rest of the paper was scattered along the dunes, caught in the tufty plants that hold the beach sand together along the pathway.

I started picking up pages and as I did several other early morning walkers joined in.

It was lovely, a real sense of “this is a beautiful place and we want to keep it that way”.

We smiled at eachother as we put the papers in the bin.

I even found a bra caught in the bushes.

“How nice”, I thought, “to live in a place where people care about their environment.”

I continued my walk towards the main beach. 

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

As far as they eye could see the beach, the grassy banks, the footpaths, were covered with rubbish.  The bins were overflowing.

It looked like a rubbish tip, with seagulls wheeling overhead.

People were picking their way through papers, drink bottles, plastics to the sea to swim.

It was appalling.  Disgusting. Embarrassing.

I walked along the beachfront for about 200 metres before turning back inland.

I couldn’t bear to see the beach anymore.  I felt angry. Impotent.

Later that day the rangers came and raked the beach.

It had been a hot day.  Apparently 5000 people converged on Cottesloe that Sunday. 

But in my opinion that does not excuse the behaviour. 

People if it doesn’t fit in the bin – TAKE IT WITH YOU.

Disappointing.

The Dress Project – Part 2

It’s finished.

Total cost $59.60 – I had to buy some more thread – although if I use the pattern again, that cost will go down slightly. 🙂

I’m wearing it to work today and getting lots of nice comments. 🙂

So here’s how it turned out in pictures…

It’s not perfect but for my first dress I’m quite happy with it.  It fits really well.

I used that hemming tape – it’s like double sided iron on interfacing – so easy.  And I might go back and use it around the neck line to hold the lining in place.

The pattern (Burda 7854) though a little fiddly was easy to follow and when I was patient enough to baste first and do all the right things I didn’t have to unpick… there was a bit of unpicking!

Anyway now that’s over I have three work dresses in my wardrobe (two to go) and time to follow up on my HASAY exercise which has sadly fallen by the wayside a bit with the birthday and all…

By the way – for all HASAY members who work – I’ve got a great idea to share with you so come back soon!

The birthday rules

Dear Hugamuga and Dippity,

This is what I expect on my birthday.  

Be aware this is the minimum requirement of you, feel free to exceed expectations.

1.  I expect you to enter my bedroom (after knocking) and wish me a happy birthday before I get up.   Cup of black tea optional but welcome.

2.  I expect a card, handmade or bought, with a loving wish.

3.  I expect not to have to nag you all day to clean up after yourselves or to contribute to the general tidiness of the house.

That’s it.

Love,

Your mother

Yes, it’s my birthday.  Groover somehow managed to find a dress that fits me perfectly with the perfect hemlength.  Totally impressive, especially because I really didn’t want to have to iron on my birthday and some serious wardrobe gazing was before me had I got the pool lounger I asked for.

I also received a lovely pair of silver earings, an ipod nano and a voucher for a facial and product from Jurlique, lots of text messages and phone calls and generally I felt loved. 🙂

I do like having to work on my birthday. First of all we have a thing where the birthday person has to bring in a cake.

This is a fine thing.

It alerts everyone that it’s your birthday and you always have a cake YOU like on your birthday.

When I came home my little darlings had rallied and I was greeted with a clean(ish) house, another charm for my Pandora bracelet and a homemade card.

Then we all went out to dinner.

All this and I’m STILL in my early 40s.

The Dress Project – part 1

Inspired by Project Runway, a colleague and I are determined to learn how to sew and even – you know – make something.

So today I went to a fabric shop in Subiaco and picked out a pattern and with the help of the shop assistant got all the bits I need to make it (talent not included).

I found a whole list of patterns and this one was set aside as being a little more difficult for a rusty seamstress but hey what’s life without a challenge eh?

I also chose a slightly stretchy fabric called… well it sounded a bit like Bangalore but I don’t think that’s it.  Stretch makes it a bit harder.

And after the fabric was cut I realised I also needed a lining fabric and that’s not stretchy so it will probably all end in tears.

At the moment though I’m quite excited by the challenge  – I haven’t sewn a dress from a pattern for years, probably since university, which would make it about 1987!

I’m the sort of person who loves to do the odd crafty thing but rarely stick at it.  So I have knitted one jumper, made two teddy bears, that sort of thing.  I also get bored easily so the task has to be challenging which is why it wasn’t just a jumper but a jumper in a dinasaur pattern.

So far this project has cost me $56.

Not sure if it’s the most economic way to get a new dress but we’ll see.  🙂

The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

Stephenie Meyer’s series is written for teenagers and is essentially about fitting in and peer groups but it’s so much more.

Touted as the new JK Rowling and with the first movie coming out on November 21st, this series mixes high-school with the supernatural.

Bella moves to Forks in Washington state to live with her dad, the local police chief.  A town where it continually rains.  On her first day she notices some extraordinaryly beautiful students, students who appear aloof or maybe shunned by the rest of the student body.

One of them Edward seems to perversly adverse to her.  Glaring at her.  Trying to be assigned to another class.

Apart from the mysterious Cullens, moving to Forks also gives Bella the chance to re-establish old links to a childhood friend, Jacob, who lives on a nearby Indian reservation.

I’m not sure if Forks is a real place.  If so, I’m sure it was not chosen for the weather alone.  The whole series is about making choices – choosing which fork in the road to take.  Does she align herself with Edward and risk eternal death – or is that life – or does she fall for Jacob’s charms despite his somewhat bestial nature.

The other thing that Stephenie does in her novels is relate each one to a famous love story.  For Twilight it’s Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.   For both characters it’s all about pride getting in the way of their relationship – not to mention the prejudice shown more it must be said by the extra characters.

However one should be careful viagra canada cost Read Full Report in making the right choice. In Psychiatry, another specific technology that is required is one that viagra india provides a reliable and valid assessment of brain health at an affordable price. If the even tiny amount of the aggressive, precipitated bile acids in it sample viagra prescription is increased. And when you decide to buy Kamagra tablets acquisition de viagra Go Here at attractive prices. In New Moon the story line follows the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet with Jacob cast as Paris, the man Juliet might have settled for had Romeo decided not to pursue her.

And in Eclipse it’s the story of Wuthering Heights.  

There’s nothing subtle about these comparisons, Bella is continually referring to the books as she compares her life to the heroines in these classics.  

Normally this would annoy me – it’s a bit too obvious – but in this case – teenage fiction – I don’t mind it so much.

I wonder if Stephenie hopes as I do, that kids reading her books might also be interested to read P&P or Wuthering Heights – I know I’m tempted to pick them up again.

I loved this series.  I really enjoyed the whole vampire/werewolf fantasy element but more than that I just enjoyed a good story told well.

If your kids bring this series home, don’t be put off by their weighty nature, see if you can sneak a read after they’ve gone to bed.

My daughter – Dippity – is totally obsessed.  She and I are Jacob fans… if you’ve read the series who do you prefer?  Edward or Jacob?

Shoe heaven again!

Hello from way up here!  Up here in the stratosphere!

Aren’t these shoes great.  Okay I know they are probably not to everyone’s taste… Groover and Dippity don’t like them… but I think they are fab.

A dress a day

I’ve come to a fashion decision.  

Well, it’s not so much a fashion decision as a clothes decision.  A practical, “Bloody hell! Nothing to wear again!” decision.

I’ve decided I’m going to give up on separates for work and instead buy five dresses which will end up being my uniform.

Okay five to start with.

I’ve already started – not with the dress pictured.

The other day I was flicking through the David Lawrence sales rack and came across a belted black dress marked down.

It fitted well and is perfect for work.

It washes easily and is a snap to iron.

I don’t have to match it with anything, and it looks smart.

I tend to wear it on Mondays.

On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays I stare gormlessly into my wardrobe and try and patch together something that looks okay.

The dress is so easy I reckon it’s the way to go.

However finding a source of perfect dresses is not proving as easy as I hoped, and then my colleague turns up yesterday in a dress I would have bought in a snap (from Cue) had I seen it first but of course now I can’t because we sit next to eachother and wearing the same dress would be naff.

Groan.

I’m a bit fussy.

First of all I have winter colouring so all those nasty shades of yellow and brown are OUT.

Secondly I prefer V necks on me.

In my opinion an assessment of basic neurocognitive function should be an essential part india viagra pills of any additional psychological treatment. So this highly active ingredient should be consumed only after taking proper physician tadalafil 25mg guidance that indicates a risk free consumption for positive impacts. We strongly recommend that men address the condition of ED due to viagra sildenafil 100mg embarrassment and this ignorance make their condition worse. Keep it in http://www.glacialridgebyway.com/mid-2272 generico cialis on line a closed tight container. Thirdly I like it to be fitted to the waist and reach to my knee – but not to go below it.

And finally – it can’t be too expensive.

These conditions do seem to knock out most of the stock I’ve seen in shops.

In fact it’s proving so problematical I’m thinking of making one myself.

(although Mum, you know it is my birthday on Monday…)

Have you seen anything out there?

Speaking of sitting next to someone in the same dress, years ago, when Groover worked in Sales and had a box at the Hopman Cup, I experienced this first hand.

The box was small and seated four.  

I was wearing a peacock blue fitted dress – a stunning dress – not a dress you could ignore – I felt thin and special in it (actually I was pretty thin at the time) and as I sat there – I watched this lady ascend the stairs to our grandstand.  She was wearing the same dress.

“Ha ha I joked to Groover, I hope she isn’t your guest.”

“No she’s not.”

“Oh phew… how embarrassing to have to sit here all afternoon wearing the same dress…”

“She’s his wife.”

At the first break I excused myself and drove home to change.  

Groover to this day, thought I was over-reacting.

The wife thanked me.

Has that ever happened to you?  What did you do?
