However, over here, (USA) it's not considered at all healthy to keep one stuffed up your sleeve; you're meant to use it once and chuck it out. Makes for a rather large carbon footprint.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-20891265327115949772008-01-25T17:00:00.000+00:002008-01-25T17:00:00.000+00:00Oh, all that washing stuff sounds so horribly fami...Oh, all that washing stuff sounds so horribly familiar - I married a man with rhinitis (him, not me) and had to wash his handkies for years (he doesn't like tissues). Now he washes them himself, thank goodness. I do the odd bit of dusting with tissues, too. One you missed, they make good paper napkins when you are eating squelchy sandwiches in your hotel because you're too broke/tired to go out for a meal on your own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-8649059607328706322008-01-25T11:31:00.000+00:002008-01-25T11:31:00.000+00:00Kaz - I meant rhinitis!
