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

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.

One roll per day, so over 2.5 years worth?! That is ridiculous really!

MarmaladeSandwich7 · 29/10/2025 18:30

Was your DS flushed with success at his deal?! 😂

OhMyMirror · 29/10/2025 18:30

Do you have grandkids? I'd buy them a nice big drum kit for Xmas 🤣
I've seen my boys go through a 4 pack in less than 2 days, 1000 would maybe last us a year 🤦‍♀️🤣

Mumstillgonenuts2025 · 29/10/2025 18:32

Rollbucks and put everyone’s name on each of them! 😍😬😆

Thought I was going OTT buying 12 double rolls last weekend!

Do you know something that we don't know? Have you hoarded pasta and yeast? 12 double rolls is only 24 so if you can store them can't see a problem!

Car pot sale this weekend. 4 for £1 soon be gone.

Lilywc · 29/10/2025 18:38

Sell them!

anyolddinosaur · 29/10/2025 18:42

Does he live with you? Put them all in his bedroom.......

GooglieWooglyWooglyWooglyWoo · 29/10/2025 18:51

Yes I'm sure some homeless shelters etc would like some of them! And to answer your question, I would probably be a bit annoyed too 😆

valentinka31 · 29/10/2025 18:53

bless him.

Sell them in eBay!

Put them on eBay.

Did they fall off the back of a lorry

Maybe.rent a storage unit?

Still baffled by the word gifted?

Another loan word from the Yanks.

Does it mean anything you are given or given was a gift/present?

Rent a storage unit?!

Exactly how much of a bargain were all of these bog rolls that it's worth paying to rent storage for them rather than just giving them away?!

MrsMitford3 · 29/10/2025 19:02

My brain can't grasp what that would look like-

as big as a bed? a refrigerator? need some context

HellsBells13 · 29/10/2025 19:03

Well, keep them just in case of the pandemic. You will be quids in selling on at an inflated price.

agree with this comment about the use of the word "gifted" - what the hell happened to being given something???????

exse24Londoner · 29/10/2025 19:24

whilst I am sure all those toilet rolls might be annoying I don't think it is anything other than actually really funny!

pass them on - to a charity / food bank or similar. Give ("gift" if you prefer) them to someone who will appreciate it

TacCat49 · 29/10/2025 19:26

Your DS has an amazing and unique SOH. Embrace it.

soupyspoon · 29/10/2025 19:27

Ive only read the first page so dont know if this is real. But my OH will do things like this and it drives me barmy

I chuck it. Brand new. Chucked out. I cant stand it

FlappingMadly · 29/10/2025 19:30

I did that to myself ordering who gives a crap rolls when on sale and not looking closely at details. Boxes and boxes and more boxes arrived. Luckily we have a cellar.

Ha, no, I’m just keen to have enough and not keep going shopping (miserable fail, half term has been expensive!).

ladyofshertonabbas · 29/10/2025 20:00

How much do you think they’d have cost to buy though? Maybe about 450 quid? I’d be really happy with that saving, surely you can stuff them somewhere?

Surely that depends on the brand

I did a quick google and Temu are doing 240 rolls for 12 quid. So thats about 60 quid. I wouldnt want my house cluttered for 60 quid

On the other hand a brand like Andrex would be around what you quote for about 1000 rolls.
