I know what a boring stupid thread but I am involved in a lot of heartbreaking sadness at the moment and need severe distraction so there!

well a loo roll would last 2 weeks with me on my own coz I have all sorts in my bathroom like wipes etc...when brother and mate are with me it lasts a few days especially if they have been out on razzle which is most nights if they are not training

I use kleenex or andrex, have tried using others but always come back to them for their softness and gentleness

How long does a loo roll last you and which one do you use...any tips for using it for anything else too?

just had a thought! does anyone use a loo roll doll these days? you know, those knitted pretty dollies that go on the loo roll...I always rememmber as a child we had one with a beautiful pink crocheted skirt...I loved that doll!

Hi Bagel

They don't last long in our house. We have a secret loo paper pincher. Like you tried all sorts but have stuck with andrex. You no quicker put a loo roll out but you are replacing it lol.

Gosh yes I remember those with the sindy like face. LOl still see them at craft fairs sometimes no I've never been tempted to buy one

hello lovely Bagel

First of all NEVER apologise for ridiculous threads - they are the best sort IMO and you will always get mad people like me who answer them!

Hmmm - now Loo roll
*thinks*
I have no idea - we have 2 toilets in our house and 4 grown ups so someone always changes it. Not very long I would imagine. I tend to buy a 9 roll pack every 3rd week.


Bagel - a big hug for you and your family and a special blessing for your lovely Dad as I am sure this is what is causing your sadness

Bagel came on here this morning to look book title up feeling like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders and in my heart. In all honesty most of which is down to me and trying to bite my tongue when I'm feeling resentful and all of those bad feelings against people who don't deserve it.You made me laugh and that always makes everyone feel that bit lighter At home with my little ones I'd taken to buying the puppy rolls extra large, they would only just fit so could not be unrolled at a rate of knots.

PMSL nony, i am still waiting for my bidet to upgrade from a bucket too

queeny, tbh my mate's mum owns a few shops and we get it free from there so we use any brand (it is so blinking expensive these day)

How long does a LOO ROLL last you and which one do

hours...... .

Kitten soft....not very long

Suermarket brand the 'T' one.... middle price......5 of us in our house....3 of us under 11 y/o.........each loo roll last one day and a packet of 80 wet wipes about a week!!!

I think I must be over feeding my kids!

asda smart price u get 12 rolls for £1.12 , after all it is only going to get poo on it.

the same as pesky-pixi 3 kids under 11 so it doesnt last long

Depends whether it's the sort that your thumb breaks through at the point of least resistance, or not

Triple Velvet we use...and we always buy packs containing about 8 of the bloody things, so it lasts us a while

Andrex for me. So long as it's not that Aloe Vera stuff as that just feels wrong o_0
I have no idea how long it lasts, I've never really kept track of that

My Gran has a loo doll!
My Aunt's Mum use to knit the outfits for them and give them as Christmas gifts when she was alive. Not now she's dead or that would be freaky... "Loo Dolls from the Grave!"
*coughs*
Anyhow,
I used to feel sorry for the Loo Doll when I was younger. Having to sit there and watch people poo all the time.
I stole a pair of my Sister's Sindy doll's shoes and gave them to the loo doll, as she had to stand on the toilet in the cold all day, where Sindy had a nice bed to sleep in and more shoes than she knew what to do with. She's still wearing them now, 25 years on

I want a loo doll!!!1

I'l use pine cones and they last about 6 months. =)

Charmin Ultra for us...I buy the 24 pack...those with wipes and moist toilet tissue we would use in about 3 or 4 weeks.

Ours doesn't last long at all, I think the cat eats it when we are not looking.

We buy some very nice ones from Lidl which are soft and work out at 38p a roll but, of course, you have to buy a massive pack of about 300 - slight exaggeration here
