This is getting bizarre, I know, but have you ever wondered **how** many times you blow your nose when you have a streaming cold ?
Not only have I wondered, but I undertook a survey when I had said filthy cold last week.
The things I do in the spirit of scientific enquiry :-)
In the first (and worst) 36 hours of my cold, I used 3 toilet rolls to blow my nose. (Andrex toilet rolls if you are sufficiently curious !)
I always use 2 sheets of toilet paper per blow, and there are 240 sheets of paper on each roll.
So we have a total of 720 sheets on 3 rolls, divided by 2 , giving a grand total of
********* 360********* episodes of nose-blowing in 36 hours.
10 nose-blowings per hour, including at night.
No wonder I was exhausted from lack of sleep, LOL.

Um, that's science indeed.
This is absolutely hilarious! Not the fact that you had such a nasty cold Elizabeth, since I am sorry indeed that you suffered so. But that so much tissue is used in nose blowing. I shall need to conduct my own survey when/if I get a cold this season. Lord have mercy!
You are truly the best Elizabeth! The best!
The sounds like something I would do. Using Charmin, though.
