Decorating with stationery

[todayiamadaisy]

There are some delightfully insane people in the world, aren't there? Flipping through a magazine in the supermarket queue this morning, I came across a feature about "Christmas on a budget". Its tip? If you're too poor to buy tinsel, swathe your tree in a calculator roll. Personally, I think a calculator roll would cost more than a strand of tinsel (unless you already had one to hand, I suppose, or stole it from work), and, in the resulting photo, the tree did rather look as though it had been wrapped in toilet paper. Now there's an idea...

I've just been searching for a large-numbered digital clock, but was distracted early on by the discovery of a site that sells titanium sporks - "the coolest and most powerful spork ever created". Quite a boast indeed. And yet, somehow less mad than the calculator roll suggestion.
