You have a toilet roll holder? You mean it doesn't just sit on the edge of the bath?:eek:

In our house I'd have to get up to reach it if it was on the bath!

We have a freestanding toilet roll holder - it holds one roll in use and 3 spares. In our house people just chuck the empties in it...:cool:

We`ve got the same loo roll holder upstairs CyclingYorkie. OH keeps it fully stocked....but on the loo windowsill there was a collection of TWENTY SIX empty tubes last time I emptied it!!!

I just discovered this wonderful thread - thank you all so much for:

1) Making me feel so much less guilty about the pile of ironing-to-be-done covering my sofa (note to self: get a bigger sofa next time), the layer of dust on the windowsill in the stairway (note to self: repaint in dove grey, 1970's dark brown shows up dust WAY too much), the vertiginous piles of paperwork waiting to be dealt with, the airing cupboard stuffed with hand-me-downs for DC2 & clothes waiting to go to charity shop / friends' children, the oven that looks like a post volcanic eruption landscape, etc... :cool:

&

2) Making me laugh! :rotfl:

Now I can go to bed with a light heart & a clear conscience, as soon as I've once more cleared the bed of all the cr*p I was going to tidy away last week/ yesterday/ today (once more onto the floor dear friends...)!

Slobladies, I salute you! :T

I know things are getting bad if there are 2 cardboard inners on the edge of the bath, that is where I put the empties with every intention of taking them downstairs to the recycle bin.

I have a large box for the new loo rolls, and got a smaller one, shoebox sized, for the empties. If you consider that you can flatten 7-8 empties and roll them into another, and the box itself holds at least 12 of those, I don't have to traipse down to the recycling very often at all- every three months or so at a usage rate of one roll per day (:eek:)

Bought a new hoover. The old one stopped sucking up stuff.

New one works great. Son took the old one to pieces. Turns out there was a huge furball from Wondercollie bunging up the tubes!:o:D:D

Inspired!! But 1 loo roll per day:eek::eek: I reckon you have a large family:)

Cat woke me up at 4.30am so I went down stairs cursing OH for not shutting cats into back of house. I reckon cat was giving me an early warning that he had been sick at bottom of stairs...........and I realised this when?? Oh yes when I stood in it in the dark:eek: Cleaned up foot but just put kitchen towel over rest - its still there bearing in mind OH and DD2 have both walked past it this morning:mad:

I am forced to do some cleaning today as I've got guests coming to stay for the weekend. I need to empty the hoover before i can use it. So i'm currently lying on the sofa watching TV, surfing the web, drinking tea and eating chocolate.

O/H regularly has to take my Dyson to pieces - both DD's have long hair and the brush gets covered in it!

I have to clean the bath plug hole for the same reason - minging!

Thats why I love dysons, they come apart so well
