we're 2 days away from pay day and literally have no money. We are ok for food, nappies etc but we ran out of toilet roll today and so when I went to the church toddler group this morning I stole one from their loo Blush I now feel really really bad about it. Not only did I steal but from the church!!

Well it's not great. You could perhaps have cadged off a friend or a neighbour. But make sure you replace it next week.

TeddyBare · 10/01/2012 14:09

Just put one back next week when you've been paid. Problem solved.

SuePurblybilt · 10/01/2012 14:09

God would want you to be hygienically clean.

Take one back next week when you have some money say a prayer and say sorry ......

Put an extra pound in the pot next week if you feel guilty. That buys 4 cheapish toilet rolls. I'm sure you pay a bit for the toddler group anyway and I doubt they spend it all.

I might take two back next week. Interest.

Next time take a loo roll and replace it and also some nice biscuits for the playgroups snack time Wink that should make it even.

Jesus forgives

lborolass · 10/01/2012 14:21

Its easy to be lighthearted about a toliet roll but I don't see how this is different to taking the money to buy a toilet roll and saying that its OK to just give it back the next week.

Sorry OP but I don't think you should have done it - slippery slope and all that.

Olderyetwilder · 10/01/2012 14:22

Jesus won't forgive, he will bring a plague of boils down on your bottom.

IndieSkies · 10/01/2012 14:22

Yes, but Jesus isn't the Church Hall caretaker Wink

Just take one roll back next week.

And good luck - one roll wouldn't last our family 2 days....

Loot from Macdonald's toilets next Grin

I'm an atheist but aren't the churches always telling you how much Jesus loves you, even the sinners? I'm sure your church would be happy to donate a single cheapo bog roll to a child of god in need.

SuePurblybilt · 10/01/2012 14:25

Lidl sell them £1.75 for ten. Good, honest, scratchy ones.

IndieSkies · 10/01/2012 14:26

I am pretty sure Jesus had to manage without any toilet roll at all!

SparkleSoiree · 10/01/2012 14:27

Theft is theft. You can justify it away as needed but you took something that belonged to someone else without asking. Doesn't matter whether it was a loaf of bread or a loo roll.

I would replace it AND make a small donation to the playgroup for taking advantage in the first place. It's about trust, not the item you steal.

lubeybooby · 10/01/2012 14:27

YANBU, it's a bogroll. They won't know or care or even notice. It could have been someone with a very messy situation to clean up or something and just been flushed away

Just take one back next week and I'm sure you will avoid being smited? smote? whatever :o

Olderyetwilder · 10/01/2012 14:28

That's why he will be so angry! He will see you wiping your bum and will smite you. Grin

WibblyBibble · 10/01/2012 14:29

Dude. If you have to steal loo roll, do it from a fast food chain instead of a church ffs.
