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 live alone. They'd see me out!

ChatGPT tells me it would take the average couple roughly 6 years and 10 months to use 1000 toilet rolls.

You’re welcome.

Literally the shittest “gift” ever!

You’ll easy be able to donate those.

That is the Christmas presents sorted.

This sounds like the best gift ever. Where’s the deal?

Sell them to all the people with the colonoscopy threads!

You can't not share a photo as it will be outing...no one else in the world is having this problem today!

Definitely need a photo

I want to see what that many loo rolls look like!

Well that's your Halloween fancy dress costumes sorted... ⚰️😄

Bloody hell 😬

And I thought we had a lot when we get our annual 480 roll delivery...

That's the most random thing I've ever read on here. Why did he think that would be welcome? It's not 2020.

🤣

Just think, if it were 2020 you could make a fortune

Was it really a deal or did he pinch them from work and need you to hide the evidence 😂

Regift them to everyone you know for Christmas! 🎄🎁🧻🧻🧻🎁🎄
Or ask if the local food bank/women's refuge/homeless shelter wants them?

100 loo rolls isnt that much. Mine come in a packet of 10 so a stack of 10 packets isnt that huge. Ten of these would be a 1000.

I love this. It prompted me to do some calculations! Our household of three somehow manages to go through 24 double length rolls every six weeks, so, on that basis, 1000 would last us roughly five years. At £30 for 42 deliveries, that would be a saving of around £1200 for us so, as long as they were packed so I could store them in the loft, I’d be well happy 😁😁

I used to get 48 at a time delivered from WGAC. They came in a large box. 1000 rolls would be 21 of those large boxes. That's quite a bit to store if you don't have spare empty rooms.

Dress up as a Mummy for Halloween, and insist on visiting your son in full loo-roll attire 😂

The food bank donations sound like a good idea. Then, erm, give a roll (or a pack) to everyone that you buy presents for... for every Christmas and birthday forevermore, with extras for your son. You might get your storage space/whole rooms back a bit quicker that way.

My brother bought me 150 toilet roll as a joke at the end of feb 2020. I had just bought 30 myself. I went into the pandemic on a throne of toilet rolls.

You never know when having
1000 toilet rolls will be insanely
handy.

God love him

How much were they out of interest 😂

I once accidentally ordered 2400 toilet rolls. One of those small lorries turned up and when the toilet rolls kept on coming DH was incandescent. Even though we use a lot of the stuff in the house I am told that there are still a few packets left in the attic. As in the attic that we entirely filled with toilet rolls and then stacked them in the bathroom and our bedroom.

Disclaimer- I was awaiting surgery at the time. There was a lot of morphine and friends involved which led to some interesting goings on. Somehow I must have misunderstood the advert and instead of reading the 24 rolls x 10 packs it said (our usual order) I must have only seen the 24 rolls and ordered the 10 packs I thought we needed.
