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.

I would love this as a present! We get through loads as a family of 6! Hope it’s a good quality one and not a bum shredder type one!

😆😆 Your son doesn't like you. I hope you are plotting revenge.

Pictures please.

I wish it was my DS! Mine would literally see them run out and not even think about buying some let alone gift me a 1000 🙄

I’m always in Costco buying their toilet rolls that we seem to still get through pretty quickly so even if it meant I had to store them in my bedroom I’d be chuffed.

🤣🤣

Ah that has made me laugh!! Sorry!

Each time you use one put the price you would have paid for it in a jar then have a lovely treat with what you save!

Lucky you! I was brought up with Izal at home, too! My mum and dad said they couldn't afford the soft stuff. Eventually they switched, probably sometime in the early 1970s after my dad had a promotion at work.

My parents never bought boxes of tissues until long after I had left home. We all used cotton handkerchiefs or sometimes squares of rag from old sheets torn up.

I switched back to cotton hankies about 10 years ago. I actually much prefer them to tissues.

Oh bless you - Izal at home too!!! Bet you were amazing at tracing though?!

It was actually not very good as tracing paper because it had a slightly shiny surface. There was also the issue of the rather sickly "medicated" smell that it had, that was quite off putting. Evil stuff! 😂

Why? 😂

He hasn’t saved anything if it’s all being given away..

10 packs will probably last you 2-3 years….

The food banks will absolutely love this donation. ❤️

I would be more amused than annoyed.
You could stack it up along the outside walls for insulation.
Make a bunch of your Christmas gifts.
Mad at your neighbour? TP their yard.

As it's Halloween, hand it out with the proviso that they can't TP your house.

Send them to me.....I've got 4 toilets & a household full of boys.

Or wrap them round yourself & go out guising tonight dressed as a mummy.....

Erm..... Surely girls use more toilet paper than boys as they can't shake off the drips ?

Kind of them to think of you.
If you dont want them, and I know that loo rolls are a personal choice, then donate then to a homeless collection point or food bank. They would appreciate them.

I buy those packs of loo roll with 9 rolls per pack.
1000 loo rolls is 111 of those.

Give them to charity? Have you upset him...??

1000 is an enormous amount though 😂 I go through loads and buy mine in bulk, but that’d be about 10 years worth for me! Even if every member of your household uses 2 per week, that’s over 1.5 years worth of toilet paper.

We kept 10 packs - 360 rolls. Gave away 12 more to friends, family and neighbours and gave the rest to a food bank.

You could always donate to a food bank. They would be really appreciated.

Definitely not being even slightly unreasonably. I'd have gone mad, myself - and then created myself severally wall-paper-padded rooms to rage in.

I'll have some, I think my daughter eats it as she goes through it so quickly. 😂

Haven't RTFT so someone else has probably said this - but wait for the next pandemic and cash in!

Your local food bank would LOVE a donation of loo rolls!!
You can group them in bunches and sell them on Facebook.

An unusual gift. But thoughtless as to how they would be stored. Sell the surplus on if you can, give them to friends and ithe family or donate the surplus to a local school, hostel or charity.

My cousin worked at British Tissues in Sheffield & we used to buy massive packs of seconds off him, they lasted ages, my mum was heartbroken when he was made redundant.

You didnt answer whether he lived with you and you put them all in his room. Does he know what you did with them or is there a chance he may do it again?
Sorry but it's really funny.
