i dont want toot paper, i have enough
i just want it available when i do want it
and not need to jump through any hoops just to try to get it.
with any luck, after this long weekend, all the city people will go home and our stores can start returning to normal.

First time in a month I have seen toilet paper at my local Coles.
There was even a choice between Quilton and Sorbent.
I got a 20 pack of Quilton for $10.00. The servo had 6 packs for $8.50, but at least there are supplies now.

One item I really miss is anti-bacterial wipes.
I use them to mop up spills and clean. Since the pandemic, they are non existant on the shelves.
I thought they would be appearing back by now.

Although we don't need toilet paper at the moment, it was good to finally see some in our local Woolies.
It was an 8 pack of Quilton at $7.50, but at least there were quite a few packs.
That's the first toilet paper we've seen in weeks, at either Woolies or IGA (our only nearby supermarkets).
However flour, sugar and tinned baked beans/spaghetti are still pretty much non-existant in our town at the moment.
hopefully early signs the hoarders are run out of space.
i just want to go into woolies or drakes and see toot paper back on the shelves
its not a lot to ask is it?
we can work aroung most things they are not keeping stock up on food wise, but toot paper then soaps and other washing anti bacterial stuff we actually need because you cannot substitute.

You need to get there around opening time or ask a friendly looking staff member when they will be repacking the shelves.

I haven't seen any of above since early Feb

With last week's on-line shopping, I ordered personal antibacterial wipes, cos they were there.
They substituted them with kitchen cleaning antibacterial wipes. hahahaha
I'll have 'em anyway.

Twas walking through Woollies yesterday and saw in the distance some strange objects.
My heart thudding I increased my pace.
And found ..... 6 packets of toilet paper.
The first I've seen for 2 months.
I was so excited I nearly dribbled.
Quilton 8 pkts for around $7 but I wasn't arguing.
Best thing that's happened to me for ages
(sad isn't it)
