To be annoyed that DS has "gifted us" over 1000 toilet rolls

[OonaStubbs]

They arrived by lorry today. We did not know they were coming. Now our spare bedroom is full of them and there are loads in the kitchen and living room as well. He said he got them as "a good deal from work" and he thought we would want them. But he forgot to tell us about it.

Is your son Rodney Trotter?

😆

Build a fort? 😂

At least that’s everyone’s Xmas gifts sorted

Well…at least if there is another lockdown, that’s one less thing to worry about…

Donate most of them to your nearest food/hygiene bank.

I’m sure the food bank will take them!

Make an Igloo?

That’s you sorted for the next pandemic then!

I’m trying to visualise 1000 loo rolls and how that looks…

Oh! On first reading your post sounds very comical, but looking around my flat I wouldn't be too keen on having it overtaken by toilet roll. If storage is an issue could you maybe donate some locally? Foodbanks and pantries will gladly take them off your hands, same as community groups such as drop-in centres.

I'm sorry what? 🤣

Least you will have something to pass on to any grandchildren 😀

Photos or didn’t happen. 😆

😂 There are worse things to be gifted op

I'll have 50 if your looking to shift em

I'm trying to imagine the scale of this.

It's a bit loo-dicrous. But, there's a big economic saving here, if you can loo-k on the bright side.

we need a photo!!!

We need an estimate of how long you think they will last.

For 2 people, that's about 10 years worth!

There are worse gifts 😀

😄 🤣

Pics or it didn’t happen.

but also this wins Thread of The Day 🏆

2ply or 3 ply? Quilted or non quilted? Scented? We need to know the details 😄

Yes! OP we NEED a photo!

He's about 5 years too late 😂🤣

@OonaStubbs If you can transport the loo rolls, definitely donate them to the food bank. I remember bringing a box of donations from colleagues at work to a Trussell Trust foodbank in the poorest area of town, and the supervisor in charge pounced on the one packet of toilet paper in the collection. When I asked her why, she said, "Well, we don't get much, so we have to ration them out. If you know what I mean". Can you imagine doling out just one loo roll per household .. the mind boggles. Most likely (and foodbank demand has rocketed up since then) they will be very welcome anywhere near you.
