To have no social conscience about how much toilet roll we use.......

[SmilesLikeNoOther]

I reduce, re-use, recycle, don't drive, use charity shops, never throw food away,
you name it I try to do it but,refuse to fold toilet roll origami style to be practical and economical, and refuse to teach my DD to do so......

Oh and with a family of four, a roll a day is not extravagant is it? [hopeful emoticon]

hehe. I recycle etc and use cloth nappies as well, but will NOT limit myself to one square of loo roll - I use TWO! [shock)

I insist on nice loo roll - the Value stuff just doesn't do the job unless you use more of it.

When I first shared a house, one chap tried to make me and the other girl pay more for loo roll on the grounds we'd use more of it. We told him where to go! Besides, he used loads of hot water...

Ugh, scrimping on loo paper? Wouldn't want to be washing those pants!!!!!

LOL at FAQ and MadMarge - Oh the joys of fishing a (usually new) loo roll out of a dirty toilet pan!!)

here (5 of us)we use on average one a day easily even if most of us out all day. But tis used for wiping spills and noses as well as bums

we use nouvelle which is recycled but does not go all bitty like the own brands

Lowenergylightbulb - i spat my lunch on the keyboard. best laugh for days....thank you.

blimey

We get through 1 roll (recycled rubbishy paper. every 5-7 days. Theres 3 of us. I'm quite sure we have clean enough bottoms.

I have absolutely no idea how much loo roll we use. I am amazed that some people have that knowledge in their brain . I'd forget my kids' names if I had to remember guff like that

Lol at you all.
I'm the one that has to sit on the naughty step for extravagant toilet roll use!
Personally, I wouldn't notice but am apparently being monitered. Am thinking of having a secret stash so I can look good but indulge my apparent decadecnce in peace!

Does no-one use newspaper any more? Does t'trick in our owse!

Oh we just have a sponge by the washbasin that re use. Just squeeze out n' rinse after use.

rinse? What a waste of water. You should spit on it to clean it up.

OK! ew, ew, ew,

Using newspaper does make it awfully difficult to read afterwards though..

Er, it might be stating the obvious here and might be TMI for those of a delicate disposition but all this depends on, shall we say, fequency of bowel movements. A family of 3 going every other day each is not going to use as much as a family of 5 each going twice a day. And for those whose LOs are still in nappies, you will be surprised how much they use once toilet trained and capable of seeing to themselves!!!! And they don't always remember to flush so sometimes the paper is almost overflowing the pan!

We use newspaper to be precise the metro as its free.

That is rather a lot to go through....do you eat it Smiles?

yanbu we use loads, what with reen in the house and we use if for mopping dribble on dd(sn)

Excellent thread Smiles Very interesting subject!

I'm trying to convince DH that one roll a week is perfectly adequate. It's not about the environment for me, I'm just tight . I do buy the nice stuff though.

agree with low energy. OP YABU!

1 roll a day?

DS & I use 1 a week, maybe.Haven't really monitored. Will pay attention next time I change it.

....going to make a wish that what you put on this thread comes true, he-he.....

Dare I bring up the topic of family cloth here .....

...proud to say we use 0 toilet roll here! (apart from keeping a roll out for guests)

we get through 6 rolls a month on average, including heavy usage by guests (every 2nd weekend) who have intestinal dosrders- both of them plus an 8 year old guest.

6 ROLLS A MONTH!!!!!

go ooonnnnn, tell me about the family cloth [very cautious emoticon], am I going to wish I hadn't asked?

A roll a day seems a bit excessive. We are a family of five and use about 4 rolls a week,
