I am not stockpiling. Tesco delivery came at 630pm but no bog roll as out of stock. We have half a roll left!! Who's got my rolls?!?

Sorry, it was me. My 24 roll pack arrived yesterday Shock

Iooselipssinkships · 11/03/2020 21:07

The driver sold me it for fifty quid

We're not stockpiling either but I called at our local shop for milk and toilet paper tonight because we needed some. I bought a pack of 16 toilet rolls. DH also called at the same shop on his way home and also bought toilet paper. So now we have 32 rolls!

Feetupteashot · 11/03/2020 21:14

I’m reasonably concerned about the bog roll thing. But only cos I’ve got crohns.

I’m ok in the upstairs bog. There’s a shower if needs must. But not sure how I’d get my arse in the downstairs bog sink. It’s tiny. (The sink not my arse)

user1471539385 · 11/03/2020 21:25

We didn’t get any in our Tesco’s delivery either. Someone, somewhere has a lot of toilet roll. DH went to Tesco’s and bought some. Just a single packet. Exactly what we tried to have delivered. Very strange!

JigsawsAreInPieces · 11/03/2020 21:25

Ours was missed off the Asda delivery today. Good thing we went out yesterday and got some in Lidl. 👍

TheHumanSatsuma · 11/03/2020 21:27

i thought it might be a good idea to get a thermometer.
I live on SE coast. Looked at one on Argos, not available locally ,but they do have them in Grimsby.

JustMarriedBecca · 11/03/2020 21:27

It's me. I can't stop buying it. Currently have about 80 rolls and a million paracetamol.

When I get nervous I spend money and it seems sensible to at least spend money on what everyone else is.

Boom45 · 11/03/2020 21:27

I wanna know what people are doing with it all. In my head there are lots of scared people cowering in forts made of bog roll obsessively covering themselves, head to toe in hand sanitizer and weeping ....

MeanwhileAtNumber98 · 11/03/2020 21:38

Yes 32. I bought 16 and so did DH, lack of communication nothing more. Our asda and sainsburys both had none left yesterday apparently, local corner shop had loads today.

caulkheaded · 11/03/2020 21:40

We’ve got 40 odd rolls but I bought them in the jan from Costco. So they might have been yours if you didn’t buy them then...

Di11y · 11/03/2020 21:42

honestly, use and wash flannels or something. it's not the end of the world.

BumpyNugget · 11/03/2020 21:45

Any one of a large number of fucking mad bastards has snaffled it I imagine.

God give me fucking strength, a lot of people round my way have gone fucking mental, never seen anything like it in my four plus decades, not even on days where three consecutive snowflakes fell in an hour.

No bog roll left.
No tissues left.
No anti bacterial spray left.
No anti bacterial wipes left.
No handwash left.
No baby wipes left.
No pasta left.
No rice left.
(Even the tins of God damn rice pudding are gone)
No uht milk left.
No soup left.
Cornflakes nearly out.
The list of shit which is disappearing, that couldn't fucking save anybody no matter how high you pile it, goes on and on.

Hand sanitiser, don't make me fucking laugh with the limited amount per customer shit. Easy to impose limits when there hasn't been a single bottle on shelves for over a week.

People will be looking for small fluffy dogs to wipe their fucking stupid arses on next.

People complaining, "whah, whah, whah, the shelves is empty". Yeah, slightly cheeky complaint when they were the ones that fucking emptied them.

I eat soup and rice pudding because it's cheap and I have dental problems and no appetite. Won't be eating them soon because I am nearly out and the shelves are empty. I can't chew harder stuff, at all, I could choke to death if I tried, has nearly happened several times. I am fucked. I am pissed off. People who normally look down their noses at tinned food have come and bought all the tins of what they normally deem "THAT PROCESSED SHIT". Have seen them, have heard them discussing their distaste for it prior to throwing a fuck tonne of it in their trolley.

By the way, I don't live in a small town with limited shops and supply networks, I live in an area with so many big household name shops that you would think it was the world birthing ground for such establishments. There are four Home Bargains within three miles, three Icelands within a half mile, two Asdas in half a mile (six within four miles), three giant Tescos within three miles. That's just for instance, there are many many more.

All fucking decimated.

Apart from teabags, lots of teabags, shelves full.
Nobody gonna want a nice warm cuppa when the zombie plague hits them?

The C word is serious.

The C word is out there.

Quick, let's all run to the supermarkets and fucking breath all over each other and touch stuff. A supermarket is apparently a sterile bubble of safety. Sheesh!!!!

Sorry, although I do love a good "fuck" there are more fucks in there than I'd normally deem appropriate.

Butterwhy · 11/03/2020 21:47

I usually bulk buy from Amazon or Groupon so haven't needed to buy any for a few months and still have some left. The thought of being down to a tiny bit makes me really anxious, I would send some through the internet if I could!

slipperywhensparticus · 11/03/2020 21:48

I predict cheap flannels will be the next stockpile item I hope people remember the napisan

Strictly1972 · 11/03/2020 21:52

I noticed a distinct lack of chocolate when I just popped to Asda. Thankfully the wine was plentiful

thistimelastweek · 11/03/2020 21:57

I have your bog roll. It's me. I confess.
My name is thistime and I'm a bog roll hoarder.
I'm still using the Christmas hoard. Yet I am buying more. Coronavirus is a mere excuse.
It's like a compulsion.
See bog roll, but roll.

Neacy · 11/03/2020 22:01

Our toilet rolls arrived with our Tesco delivery, they wasn’t the ones I ordered but grateful I got the next best ones, I ordered 9, my DH suffers from Crohns and had open heart surgery 3 weeks ago, so was worried we would run out, I went to 5 supermarkets over the weekend and they had all been sold out, we were down to our last one until the 9 pack was delivered, these should last until (hopefully) Saturday.

Xdes · 11/03/2020 22:07

Omg I’ve only got one left

CountFosco · 11/03/2020 22:09

I live in a small town in the north. There was still bog roll in our Sainsbury's this evening although admittedly less than usual. I didn't buy any but only because I grew up in the proper back of beyond and always have enough stuff in the house to survive a few weeks so my bog roll stock is plentiful and has been for months. Need to top up the gin though.

I did have a stockpiking discussion at work today, about gin and tonic. The conclusion of which was we both needed to buy more tonic water.

Chouetted · 11/03/2020 22:10

Probably me - I was down to my last roll, and the only packs left were packs of 24(!).

Would share if I could, it's taking up space!

Ginkypig · 11/03/2020 22:11

I bulkbuy my toilet roll and kitchen roll online. normally it lasts me 3ish months. unrelated to all this needed to buy more and it was due today but hasn't turned up!

Iv not checked as the order is on dp's email but It better not have been cancelled Sad
