We are down to our last Bog Roll

We have three toilets in BoP Towers, and only one complete Bog Roll left. Which bog should I put the roll in.

Downstairs loo, is my privy, with man things and bits in there.
Main Bathroom has half a roll left, though it is where BoPsie can disappear for hours on end, and I have to see if I can spot the new item of clothing, hair style or other activity, without being prompted. I think she also sits down in there.
The En-suite. Has my magazines, and my shaving brush

And to put it all in perspective, the shops are going to close tomorrow until Sunday at the earliest

To save starting a new roll, I am off to the Bridge to have a wobbleade. Do you think Christmas will be ruined?

    I'd not put it in any of the loos, somebody else will avail themselves of it.... can't have that. Make sure there's just 2 sheets in each loo and hide the roll in your coat pocket.

    Take a bag with some blown up small plastic bags in it (2-3 of them, each loo roll sized), covered with a couple of scarves. Deflate the first bag and nick a loo roll when you go in ... then go to the bar and say "there's no loo roll in the men's".

    Then, later, go in and snaffle the new one they've put out. It's good to have a spare inflated bag in case there's opportunity to nick a 3rd roll while you're in there.
  • Or use the sheets double-sided.

    Hand wash in lukewarm water but don't tumble dry.
  • Bang a nail in the wall (mind the electrics) and hang cut up squares of newspaper from it.

    Hi,

    cut it into 3 pieces, you only really need enough to cover the middle finger for a clean swipe.
  • Sorry to cut through the detailed 'to do's' but its easy enough to cut up a hand towel roll (done this in an emergency) or ask a neighbour if you can have one of theirs.

    Give them the detailed explanations as to which bathroom it should go in.

    Hope you don't have kids that seem to eat the stuff. Half a roll at a time if I'm lucky.

    OOOh just thought, tomorrow there will be plenty of wrapping paper that could have an secondary use (very MSE). Or it could be time to regret being a scrooge. Must remember to buy everyone two Xmas presents instead of one so there's bog roll available if needed.
  • Keep it in your pocket. Then you can go anywhere in the house.


    or


    If you live near me, I could let you have one or two. I buy a pack of 24 twice a year which lasts me, and I've just stocked up.


    My neighbour, who is going away for two weeks, "borrowed" one to save shopping.

  • Hi,

    if you're lucky, maybe Santa will bring you some tonight.

    Assume you mean kitchen roll here? If so bad advice, toilet paper is designed to disintegrate in water so flushes nicely, kitchen roll is designed to absorb water and hold together. A sure fire recipe for a blocked toilet.

    OP just use the SAS method, one sheet, finger through the middle, use finger to wipe then clean finger as to extract it from paper.
