  • Happy New Year Tilly and crew:beer::beer:.
    I can feel the need to dig out the last Costco receipt now and work out the cost per roll, horrified there could be cheaper loo roll out there;).

    If we put the bulk stuff in an out building it would be much appreciated by the mice:mad:, so i envy you that rodent free garage.

    Oh and it's white and frosty here this morning - more calories burnt.
    What's your shred it weight loss target then??

  • Costco receipt dug out, Velvet costs 39.7p per roll (and i've just bought 2 x 5 x 9roll packs and guess what, they have an offer starting tomorrow where the Velvet will be 10 x 4 roll pack for £10.42 inc VAT, so 26.05p per roll:mad::mad::mad:.

    They also have offers on 5lt Flash liquid and various washing powder / tablets / liquitabs! Oh and vitimins too, which might be useful if we're all starving ourselves!

    Morning Polly, my insane loo roll purchasing has created much laughter in the Tilly household. Mainly because you should never order having had a few glasses of wine :eek: Garage is pest free apart from my cats who like to hide in there from the hounds.

    More importantly though, I am avoiding the supermarket until last Saturday in January so at least I won't run out of loo rolls in the meantime :rotfl:

    I looked in the kitchen fridge this morning and it was a delight to see it emptying.

    Weight loss target - 1 1/2 stone :eek::eek::eek:

    Best wishes Tilly

    Edited to add: Costco offer great, but again I'm not driving to the shops, nor being tempted by anything else :):). I have to get the freezer content down and then defrost it.

    It's hard to describe how I feel, given that I love cooking. I feel overwhelmed by food and truly have hardly eaten anything over Xmas. So I'm hoping that this 'use up' campaign helps my mind feel better :)
