toilet rolls ? best way of saving

gooismeid

After I'd given birth to both my kids I had to have stitches. Not pleasant, in fact possibly the worst thing about giving birth! Anyway, my midwife told me that every time I go to the loo I should take a big jug of water with me and pour it over my "bits" to stop any infection in the wounds. I kind of started to like the feeling of being extra clean, so continued long after the stitches had healed. Only needed to use loo roll for number 2, number 1 was dealt with by the water plus a small hand towel which got washed with the nappies! So now we can all start worrying about water shortages instead of using too much loo roll.

Whenever my mum used to hear the thumpitty-thumpitty-thump of a rapidly turning toilet roll, she'd yell "Two sheets is enough for a wee!!!"
I now find myself doing the same with our 3 kids!!
"More than a wee" useage can be whatever it takes to do the job properly!!

Get yourself a nice packet of "bog" standard loo rolls, then carefully,(with a sharpe knife or bread knife) cut them through the middle, and BINGO, you can turn each loo roll into two smaller loo rolls - job done. I have patented the idea though - so beware :rotfl: :cool: :rotfl:

Blotting, dear :rotfl:

I always stock up when the 6/4 rolls are available, or recently Co-op have had an offer on their 4-packs, 99p. 25p per roll is my target too, same as previous poster.

I wouldn't dare nick from a public convenience - these CCTV cameras get everywhere nowadays! :eek:

If your lavatory is in the bathroom, you don't need to use paper at all as you can use soap and water instead which is much more effective.

when i was a kid I used to go around my friends house to play and her loo rolls were like tracing paper in a box and you could only take one sheet at a time and they were uncomfortable to use so you wouldnt want more.

Izal, I believe. I grew up with that stuff :eek: . It did make great tracing paper though - perfect for doing maps for geography homework!

I read a novel once where it was described as that stuff that chases everything around but doesn't take any prisoners :rotfl: .

Try to use work and public toilets whenever possible:D
