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.

There are 36 packs of 36 rolls each. So about 1300 rolls in total.

When you say it like this it doesn't sound much

You could stock your local Asda/Sainsburys etc

I reckon that would last DP about 10 days the rate he goes through toilet roll. Maybe a week if he eats a lot of crisps and ice cream 😂

Do you know what OP, I think you're missing a trick here. Don't give any more away.

Winter is coming.

You could insulate your house and stay toasty warm.
Just imagine, walls of loo rolls in every room, so convenient too! (so long as you don't have DP who discards the empty inner tubes right next to a bin, you'll be the envy of all your friends 😀

There's a very old MN thread about this, might be in Classics.

1000s rolls? That’s gonna take up to three years to use

why on earth would anyone want that?

It’s Halloween on Friday, you can all go dressed as Mummys

It’s Halloween this week. You can dress up as a mummy!

15 rolls each a month

so between three and four a week per person

That is a lot of wiping and flushing

It does depend though, if they are the premium 'double roll' variety, or those ones you get in Europe where there's only about 4 wipes worth on each roll... 🤔

Is this some kind of weird stealth boast about how large your house is, @OonaStubbs ?

Exactly my first thought!

It's like something out of a sitcom!

This really made me chuckle! How random. I am intrigued if he has other deals you benefit from! I would contact a food bank or local community support charities and send them their way.

Just why?

Yip, that's it !

I don't think it's actually that bad, but what an odd gift and timing. 😁🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻

This.

Mine too! We have to have packs on it in storage just in case.

we live 2 mins from a shop that sells them. I keep saying should there a toilet roll emergency you can run over but apparently that’s not good enough!! 😅

It’s roughly 83 packs of 12 rolls. So we could definitely stack 8 of those up in the corner of our downstairs toilet. I think 10 stacks would pretty much fill that space entirely. It is a lot

Thats w 15 loo rolls per person each month!
I cant imagine what you do to need that much! I need about one roll a fortnight if I am at home ill. Less when I go to work. For a small child I would need more than for myself but not that much.

Re the toilet paper usage - I recently saw a tip on how to save money and one of them was to use adequate amount of toilet paper, like tear two pieces per use instead of rolling the paper around one's hand?! Why would anyone roll toilet around their hand?

😂 Well, she won't have to worry about her house being flooded. Plenty of barricading material there!

Wrap them and stick them in the loft or garage. Don't really see the problem unless you have no storage. I'd be delighted.

One small roll for a fortnight wouldn't last most people. Unless they do just 2 wees a day and 1 or 2 poos a week! (Or are out a lot, and do most of their business there!)

And what @dutchyoriginal said

there's 4 of us, with a couple of wfh days and do a little over 1 roll),

1 roll a week? For 4 people?!

Then again, 45 rolls in one month for 3 people, (as one pp said, can't remember who sorry) seems too much. Between 3 people, they are getting through 11 rolls a WEEK.

There has to be a happy medium. I'm not even sure how much DH and I go through to be honest. Probably 2 toilet rolls a week, depending on how much we 'go.' May be 3 some weeks. So, like 10 a month. Maybe... I'm gonna count them from the next one, see how much we use in one week! 😆

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

😂

Too much? 😂 How so? It's what we need and use. Do you suggest we only wipe every second visit? Maybe 3rd?

For what it's worth, there are disabilities and medical conditions involved, so I understand our toilet paper usage is higher than average. I won't apologise for wiping my arse though

Thank you to all the people who only shit twice a week to kindly offset my attempt to destroy the planet as a single household.
