I'm going to tell my mrs - Today! - you should do the same

[DickyC]

Stop buying cheap kitchen paper, woman. It's useless. Especially for car stuff.

Put her straight. Immediately. That's what I say.

[Last Visit]

Good luck.

Do you want your PH log in name auctioning off to help with medical fees?

[DickyC]

How kind. A whip round amongst the lads might help too.

Buy your own, the big blue rolls.

[DickyC]

Yes, but where's the assertiveness?

Assertiveness!!!

Just do as you're told will you!!!!!
I tried it once with Mrs Bobbers, have I told you she's from Gosport?? Took me a week to walk straight again!!!

[DickyC]

Yes, I'm fine thanks, thanks for asking.

I've barricaded myself inside the garage.

[Cold]

Strange request as I don't know your missus, but I'll tell her if you like.

[DickyC]

Well, I'm in the garage, so someone else will have to insist.

[Bobberoo99]

Hang on a minute!! So what you're saying is, you're too scared afraid in awe of Mrs C to be able to tell her yourself so you want a sacrificial lamb to send in your place???

Mrs Toothless discovered that the Co-Op do a line in kitchen rolls that are perforated into rectangles rather than squares. Two rectangles make up the normal square. She was convinced that this would halve our kitchen paper expenditure.

I am delighted to tear off two bits at a time when she isn't looking.

Mrs Wrencho gives me the most disparaging look if I come home from the supermarket with anything less than the softest quiltiest toilet roll but thinks nothing of buying the cheapest kitchen roll. And she doesn't see the issue!

FTFY

[Piersman2]

Get yourself down to Costco and buy:

1 jumbo pack of Costco kitchen roll
1 jumbo pack of Costco blue paper roll

Keep in garage and only let her have 1 kitchen roll at a time, when she brings you the empty cardboard center from the last one.

You will for ever have the choice of kitchen roll or blue paper roll depending on job, and more importantly control of the kitchen roll.

P.S. - Each sheet of Costco kitchen roll is about 3 foot square and an inch thick*.

• may be a slight exaggeration, but compared to 'normal' kitchen roll it certainly feels like it.

You’ll be on those no sex threads soon or worse, the match thread.

Suck it up.

Their Kirkland brand is the best (and cheapest, unless the other brands are on sale).

I forgot to preface the thread with one of the hilarity icons.

Autosmart blue roll FTW.

Plus when the autosmart truck comes into work I can get a few detailing brushes and pads without being asked why there is a £200 Clean Your Car charge on my Mastercard..
