to want to slap my DH for suggesting

that we buy the new star printed Andrex toilet rolls?

I mean, we have only lived together for 9 years and have never, except under exceptional circumstances (the shop being sold out of white rolls), used anything but white plain toilet rolls. Even then we pushed the boat out and went for cream.

No quilted crap, no scented rigmarole, no sodding pictures on it.

So why does he suggest that we buy massively overpriced bum wiping material???

YANBU.

He's an idiot for suggesting it. Who's he trying to impress anyway??

TheOriginalFAB · 31/05/2011 19:58

YABU.

I think it is quite sweet.

Fab, you aren't a 39 year old beardie bloke are you?Grin

He's either hugely influenced by advertising or he's got a sore arse.

My dh bought the puppies on a roll one! It was 20p more and less sheets per roll. I told him off Blush Kids thought it was great though!

TheOriginalFAB · 31/05/2011 20:01

I am 39 but no to the rest of it Grin.

Maybe he just wanted to brighten up the bathroom.

reelingintheyears · 31/05/2011 20:03

I think you should get rid.

reelingintheyears · 31/05/2011 20:04

DP says maybe he has piles and doesn't want to tell you because he's embarrassed about his bum hole.

ChantingAsISpeak · 31/05/2011 20:05

I couldn't go for the puppies on a roll - it feels wrong to wipe your bottom on a small dog.

Pandemoniaa · 31/05/2011 20:06

I'd be very suspicious. His arse suddenly needs extra special attention?

Nah, nothing has changed in the arse department.

Sadly.

I bought the 4pack spotted and butterfly for my DDs birthday party to put in downstairs loo
£2 for 4 rolls.I thought 'what plonker buys this?'
Doh!
DD wasn't even with me!

ratspeaker · 31/05/2011 20:15

I'm tempted to buy them just for the music festivals

We usually have boring old cheapo white paper. but on a bit of string around the neck
So it'll look more like a necklace

BooyHoo · 31/05/2011 20:16

do you think it's a midlife crisis? it could be worse, (think ferrari)

Glitterknickaz · 31/05/2011 20:19

I can't stand any kind of embossing, patterning, quilting or aloe vera (makes the poo slide off).

Bog (haha) standard white for me. Own brand.

Glitterknickaz · 31/05/2011 20:19

Although my dad did have a roll with Margaret Thatcher's face printed on every square. We all enjoyed using that Grin

worldgonemad72 · 31/05/2011 20:24

reelingintheyears · 31/05/2011 20:24

Ah I don't know why but I think your H sounds very sweet. And at least he knows his place and asks your permission first before making such a major purchase Smile

BunnyWunny · 31/05/2011 20:27

Only quilted will do in our house- the plain stuff sticks to your arse and leaves bits of tissue tuck to your flaps.

He can be very sweet. If he'd actually buy some before he uses the last roll, it would be sweeter.

Although he does now tell me we're on the last, so a huge improvement.

SunshineisSorry · 31/05/2011 21:28

is it really doomed?

He loves watching Great British Menu as well. There really is no hope, is there?
