We all laughed when my friend's brother, at their dad's funeral, talked about how thrifty the dad was - how he refused to chuck out his favourite armchair, and bought toilet paper in bulk. I laughed because my mum is a lot like that.
My mum used to by loo paper in cartons of 72. They rested in her spare room alongside the equally bulk cartons of laundry powder and dishwashing liquid. (In a civil defence situation she might run out of drinking water but she'd have a spotless bum.) And she uses a pastry brush old enough to remember my first teen-angst tantrum.
So, if the new undies I bought for TLM turn out to be too small ( apparently Asian 7-8 year olds are the same size as Kiwi 4-5 year olds) - is it over the top to sew little scrap fabric inserts into the sides to make them big enough?

Oh. I vote yes. Anything to do with homemade knickers is a bit daggy.
she like's em though. The inserts are soft and stretchy and now she gets to wear her new (and previously undersized) Hello Kitty undies!
