1. You do cut newspapers up into little squares just in case
2. You do quickly search the internet for innovative ideas with historical credence so that you can add a bit of knowledgable weight to just in case
2. You do not ring a friend who hasn’t been invited and ask to borrow toilet paper which of course you can’t possibly return anyway
3. You do not panic and berate yourself for being so disorganized and hopeless and disorganized and hopeless
4. You do decide not to give your visitors any sustenance whatsoever
4. You do not entertain the idea of suggesting to your visitors that they ‘go’ outside since they are all women and would find this distasteful
5. You do not contemplate the possibility that one of your visitors might be suffering from a gastric disturbance
6. You do meekly ask one of your visitors (when she rings to say she is on her way and can she bring anything) to please bring some toilet paper
7. You do restrain yourself from being too effusively grateful to the visitor who is bringing the toilet paper
8. You do begin to now wish there were a bit more sustenance in the house
9. You do hope that the car you can hear pulling up in the driveway belongs to the visitor who is bringing the toilet paper because you have to go
10. You do not panic when it is one of the other visitors
11. You do not, during the lovely visit with three of your best friends, continually punctuate the conversation with offers to use the toilet
12. You do wonder why the only person who needed to use the toilet, during the visit, was you.

hehehe…thanks for the giggle this morning! p.s. ALWAYS keep a spare roll hidden for occasions like this.
Yes – there was one somewhere but I couldn’t find it – seem to be losing the domestic goddess plot!
Something on your mind? 😉
Naaah!
that was pretty funny!!!
I was a little panicked until the tp arrived!
i bet so, better keep corn in the husk on hands in the frig. lolol
ha
Spare box of tissues works …
They were all gone too!
That was going to be my reply… (snicker) 😉
Very funny,
(In future ensure you always have boxes of tissues in the cupboard, or facial wipes, or …………).
Yes – I just found a box of tissues I’d forgotten about – hope I am not giving the impression that I live in utter chaos!
So funny Julie. I was Loo-phing all the way through!
xo
R
Now only you could say loophing!
Gotta be me Jules…;)
Good thing I did not go further north than Sydney. Thanks for the chuckle. PS – leaves are always good.
Ah leaves – yes!
Paper towels!
Didn’t have those either – all okay now – my friend brought masses of tp over – ha!
hilarious – and unfortunately I remember the days when catalogues were employed in the outhouse
Oh that is too funny!
Funny maybe – uncomfortable – yes!
mmm!
don’t think on it too hard – in fact, blast it out your mind
good idea – ha
You are such a funny lady at times.
Loved no.6
I’ll have to go and have another look at no. 6 before I go to bed – thanks Tilly! Jx
Yep the law of averages, if some one hadn’t brought some with them for you… every one would have had a running problem..
Yeah I know!
so funny! Thanks for the chuckle. Jane
I suddenly realized this post may have been a bit offensive to some – oh well.
too bad…
Now I have to go to the bathroom. Can you send me some toilet paper?
Sure – I have plenty now!
LOL As if we had nothing more important to get stressed about.
Oh well – it was a diversion!
How do you do this? Know exactly when it is that I need a good belly laugh?
You crack me up Jules; into pieces of giggling flesh on the floor.
When I try to explain to Bear why I am a laughing mess all of a sudden on the floor and all that will come out is, Jules.. do.. don’t…. he of course has no clue what I am talking about, which only makes me laugh harder. Until… I peed my pants. Now where in earth is that TP Jules?
Oh My God! Too funny ~ BB
Oh I am delighted it gave you such a laugh!
paper towels… napkins — better than newspaper! xo
I am never going to let it happen again ha!
I think you’ve been hitting the bottle this morning (or is it evening?). Hahaha… I buy the BIG packages so I never run out.
It’s just the euphoria of having lots of toilet paper now!
Lemme guess– you ran out of toilet paper at *just* the right time? 😛
lol. Such an adorable post, such an adorable you!
Thanks!!
Julie, you are hilarious
(11. When they arrive, you do say, “We’re out of toliet paper and sustenance, so let’s hit the local pub”.)
Now why didn’t I think of that!
UGH! I hate running out of toiliet paper!
hA!
Loved this. Hilarious! Made me think of the opening scene in the old movie Romancing The Stone. Loved that too.
I don’t remember that scene – will have to look it up!
This was just so bloody funny and not just because we ran out of toilet paper on Thursday night and had to use tissues, but because it was just funny……………….

Glad I am not the only one!
Fantastic. Made me laugh!
I hope it never happens to you!
Well, it hasn’t at my house, but I’ve had the curse of living with boys, and also visiting a household of them, and for some reason they can go months without buying it…
Aha!
Julie, this is so funny … thanks for a good laugh. If there is something I never run out of is it toilet paper always have too much on stock *laughter.
I am not going to let it happen again !!!
No, once is enough.
Haven’t found myself in that exact situation – yet. However, I HAVE found myself in the dire situation of desperately needing toilet paper (not a drip dry job), while I was a guest at someone’s house….. what to do, what to do……
Yell ‘HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
Before the Festival of Pacific Arts here, we were told to stock up on all essentials so I bought $300 bale of toilet paper – it was so wonderful knowing that no Honiara belly was gonna beat us and we were fully prepared.
Loved this blog entry!!
That is sooooo funny! A bale of tp like a bale of hay!
This is a good blog message, I will keep the post in my mind. If you can add more video and pictures can be much better. Because they help much clear understanding. 🙂 thanks Cavalieri.
hehehe…these are great!
I am never gonna run out of it again!
This post is a perfect example of why you are so lovable. Thanks for the chuckle. My best friend is always running out of toilet paper and I always arrive to her house with a 6 pack as a housewarming gift when I visit. (:
Maybe I should just say to visitors that it’s BYO TP?
Paper towels with instructions to flush after each sheet also works!! lol!!!
So do you write the instructions on each paper towel?
Naahh!! I don’t think anyone would use one that had been written on, do you?
Julie–you made me laugh so hard I had to visit the bathroom 🙂
Well I bet you had tp!
Yes 🙂
That’s one thing that I have never ever run out of.
No need to brag!
OMGosh! Too funny!
Not at the time!
