help me break my kitchen roll habit!

[venusinfurs]

We use them as napkins and have been sticking them in the compost but since finding a rat out there, they've been ending up in the bin. I'm looking for a big stack of easily washable napkins, not white, ideally in some nice basic cotton that doesn't cost a fortune.
Does anyone have any ideas where I might find some? I seem to remember one of the children's catalogues had something similar once, but can't remember which one.
thanks in advance.

i just use cheap tea towels

Ikea. Cheap as chips! Can't remember how much, but remember thinking that if I didn't have plenty already, I would have bought some!

call the environmental health

how does not using kitchen roll stop rats?

I looked for napkins a while ago and found john lewis had the best selection.Have you tried ebay?
I ended up getting a load from an antique shop for a fiver,they were white though.

Thanks for these suggestions.

Cappuccino, no need to call EH to be honest as they are quite common in compost heaps, albeit undesirable. We have a superhuge garden so it's not near the house. But I do want to discourage the little critter.
They are drawn to cooked food smells, so if you wipe grotty faces after a meal and then put the cloth out there, it might attract them.

IKEA sound good, but I was hoping for online. Think I'll try eBay.
thanks for helping.

How about this site - 75p for a napkin?

My everyday napkins are the 'Natural' ones from Woolworths here - currently £2.50 for 4!

I really like those Natural ones, but it says they are permenantly out of stock! Damn!
Jackie - pretty good value these. Ideally looking for off white, but these are defo an option.
