Alis girls Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 What is it with teenage boys and loo roll? You can guess the rest. We have a house with 3 loos. Way too many nearly 1 each.

Alis girls Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Yup sure do OH was so traumatised had to have a nap after. i spent all afternoon catching up on ironing and cursing goin away on holiday (too much washing,) teenagers for using too much loo roll and loo roll manufacturers for making the darn stuff too appealing We should have that tracing paper stuff we had at school in the 60's and 70's which took the skin off yer butt. No danger of over using there, one sheet was more than enough. By golly the subjects we get onto, boy (sorry girls too) I've missed you lot - you are a tonic and such a laugh. so if anyone wants their bogs unblocking me and OH are the guys for the job. Please provide a bed for OH to lie on after and I'll do the ironing Oh thats what it is I thought it was a computer (or an orange loo) Sorry mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerlady Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Oh dear! Poor you! if its any consolation,we thought our youngest must be eating the toilet roll 'cos we got through so much!! Divine retribution was only round the corner though...he left home recently..When he popped back on a flying visit he said he was horrified at the price of toilet roll and it was costing him a fortune!!!! I nearly fell off the sofa laughing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Think yourself lucky it wasn't a septic tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillus Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 We had to do that recently too, after a visit from all the boys and a mass attack on the loo roll stocks. We did it by lifting the inspection hatch in the garden and in the doom and gloom we saw a tiny frog sitting amongst all the detritus! I was the pole prodder and it felt strangely satisfying when it all glooped away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I've got a set of drain rods as well! - haven't had to use them for a while now Do you mean Izal, Indie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 We didn't have much problems with blocked loos with help from the children - it was the tree roots out the front that had worked their way into the drain and everything backed up many a time. Ewwwww the things we saw. Since the council gave permission to get it removed we haven't had any more problems - the size of the roots in there - masses of fibrous matted things! My grandad would never allow my nan to have nice soft loo paper - it had to be Izal. Luckily mum taught me how to make it a bit easier on the botty - you had to scrunch and rub, like doing the washing by hand. On the brighter side it made a lovely sound when used with a comb and made your mouth numb and tingly with the vibrations. Er, we won in the end, all hail to Andrex.

WarrensWorld Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Do you mean Izal, Indie? Izal, hated it had a tendency to skid......... We were very posh our newspaper squares were on a meat hook. No string for us....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
