    Not quite. He leaves the empty roll on top of the cistern.

    I have a husband and daughter who I'm convinced eat toilet roll, fashion garments out of it, maybe even cook with it - theres no way they could just be using all that to wipe their bums ;)! But as has been said, at least they're using it, its not worth stressing out about.

    In the big scheme of things between 25 and 50 pence on a roll of lav paper is neither her nor there and complaining about it turns you into the worst kind of skinflint

    I feel your pain!

    If my SS is not in the house, we get through a packet in several weeks - if he's in the house, a packet within a week.

    There are four more of us - and I know it's him!

    But ultimately, if he is your fella and this is what drives you mad? Let it go.

    When i was staying at my girlfriends last week there was no toilet roll and i had to use her '50 shades of grey' which was just lying there.
    Now i'm in trouble 'cos her Kindle stinks.

    Once I really needed No. 2s at my friend's but he'd run out of loo roll. I used the newspaper. I flicked through to a suitable page whilst sat on the throne and took great delight in wiping my botty on Esther Rantzen's face. It's the teeth.

    I dont believe the OP, wimmen use the vast majority of loo roll on this planet, proven fact, they use it for everything! including drying the lettuce.
  • Alternatively you could change to some horrible rough stuff - that way he'll use as little as possible!

    I have my own flat. Sometimes my boyfriend comes to stay with me. I think he uses far too much toilet roll.

    For example, this weekend he stayed over from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I'd just got a new roll, and it's some brand called "So Kind" or something like that which claims to have twice as many sheets as normal rolls. Somehow, he managed to use the whole roll while he was here!

    I've told him about it and he says he doesn't think he uses that much. Should I just give up and be grateful that at least he's learnt to change it, and not just leave the empty roll there til I do it?

    Dump him. Hope that helps?

    I've never heard it called that before.
