To consficate Dh's debit and credit cards due to fuckery that goes beyond the spoon kind?

[HoneyDragon]

Seriously, how do I stop him buying toilet roll?

I've just run out of toilet paper :-(

My dad turned the kickboards under the cupboards in the kitchen into pull out tin drawers, and the bathroom one into a toilet roll drawer, it's not just a prepper stash, it's Secret too. 😁

I went to Costco.

On the way home I went to ikea for more kitchen storage.

DH was sooo impressed

Tell him you're running out of wine.

Actually do you have kids? Can you let them wrap themselves up as mummies for a really noisy game, leave him in charge and leave the house for a few hours? Or if not, do you have a cat living locally with a psychopathic hatred of big paper?

He's obvs Man The Hunter living in the 21st century. Its his natural instinct

Sounds more like a gatherer than a hunter. Like a squirrel. It is useful for the forest, some of the many surplus nuts collected by squirrels will grow into trees. Shame nothing is likely to grow from a years' worth of bog roll.

I wish my DH would buy even one pack!
I have to buy in minimum of packs of 16 and stash a couple as he will always put the last of them out and not tell me. Clearly he thinks the toilet roll fairy restock's.

Leave him without, FullTimeOfTwo. Smugly walk past him with a loo roll under your arm from your secret stash and take it back out with you! Wear it like a rum barrel on a St Bernhard mountain rescue dog round your neck to make a point. Does it show much this is a sore point for me?

But you had a toilet roll shaped hole that needed filled there lol. Love the picture. At least he buys it, that reminds me, we do actually need to get some, we're down to the last roll. Would that be like living dangerously for your husband? Enjoy?!

Apologies, pictures there's two lots! Jeez oh! Does seem extreme, like a corner shop storage area.

We had to give up our CostCo membership. It was the only way to save our marriage.

I also love a bit of bulk buying but my magpie DH was incapable of avoiding all sorts of other shite that we didn't need and never got used.

Although the pressure washer does the rounds of our friends every spring to get the winter crap off patios!

If it makes you feel any better, I showed it to DP who said excitedly,

"That looks like a..." And then reeled off the name and model number of your boiler.

Gaaaah!

Oh my word, I was literally crying with laughing so much.

We're a costco house too, I'm like...
Loo roll mountain? Check!
River of Original Source? Check!
12 tubes of Aquafresh? Check!
Industrial size kitchen foil? Check!

I went to costco yesterday to buy some steak. Two hours & £130 later...

You probably won't want to tell your husband that you can buy 18 rolls of comfy soft loo rollfor £3.49 in Home Bargains.

That's the bog standard price - pardon the pun

paxillin what a great idea. May rope the 5yo in as well as she has the best wind up skills going!

I noticed supplies were low this morning so I should be able to put this into action on the weekend lol

Not unreasonable in the slightest. My wage goes into my DW account because I'm so bad with money and will buy crap just like your DH. WHY?! I hear you cry because I'm a little bit dense and selfish and at the time of confiscation completely clueless as to the value of anything.

So I happily relinquished my card and account control to my DW and have since started to learn how help with the finances properly. Because of this I'm a lot less selfish and a better husband for it ... who'd have thought listening in the first place would work lol

I hope you can resolve this with your DH and that hopefully he can learn that there can be such a thing as too much toilet roll

Get the loo roll necklaces ready for you and DD then, FullTimeOfTwo.

My dh has similar tenancies with shower gel when it's on offer!!! Takes up less room than loo roll though

Is he one of those survivalists?

All joking aside, it sounds like he has a compulsive shopping disorder, I'd go to the drs to see if there's any help in your area that you could suggest to him.

To control the spending without taking away his dignity totally you could try a Utility Warehouse cashback card. You can top it up with money whenever it runs out but if there's nothing on the card it won't be accepted.

Maybe he is planning to surprise you with a huge paper mache sculpture, is it your birthday soon?

This thread is very funny and has me sniggering to myself in the canteen at work!

I do try to look at the positives

A he goes to Costco so I don't have to

B he's now the solo earner in team Honeydragon, and as weird spending habits go its kind of useful

C sometimes he comes home with nice surprises which is lovely

But but but but I tend to forget all this when I'm embroiled in toilet roll Jenga.

scarednoob apparently my boiler is very exciting, he's not the first fella that's seen it and acted like we've got a Porcshe 911 turbo hidden in the airing cupboard

We had a dishwasher that took salt at an alarming rate, we managed.

It died, we bought a Miele, we have had it a year it hasn't asked for salt once.

Didn't stop him buying twelve bags of the stuff last week, not last year, last freaking week.

We call Costco the £100 club. We rarely get out for less than that.

I will confess my bulk buy weakness is Magnums.
