The perfect house warming present

M0nica

Newspaper was always kinder that Izal and Bronco. It was softer!

But your bum gets black! 🤣

Our best house warming prezzie was a small black kitten in a paper carrier bag in 1973. The person giving it had checked with my husband first, but it was a great surprise to me when he jumped out of the bag. He turned out to be the sweetest natured cat ever..

Margo Leadbetter would have insisted on The Times....

Great present M0nica!
Wishing you well in your new home.

I guess izal and bronco were marginally better than newspaper which was resorted to in wartime and beyond.

Good news Aldom

I have clear memories of Bronco and Izal toilet rolls. Even writing about it conjures up the smell of disinfectant that waffted from the harsh sheets of tissue (tracing) paper! 😂

I think it's a crap present!

We bought my daughter, son will get similar, a box of ‘items’ From memory, tea towels, w.up liquid, scourers, toilet roll, k roll, light bulbs, soap, washing powder and other bits. Plus one of those carrier bag Indian meals for two, tea, coffee, milk and a four pack of beer.

Its our sixth house and we are downsizing, so most of the ordinary things of everyday living we have.

Thanks to endless de;lays by the central heating contractor, we have yet to move in as the house is unheated, so we are staying with our DD.

Does anyone remember Bronco and Izal?

That would be my kind of gift, ‘ever so practical’ as my husband says 😊 can’t have too many loo rolls.

We got two free rolls of that toilet paper and I wasn't particularly impressed by it, much thinner than the stuff we normally buy (we buy in bulk from Costco - their own Kirkland brand).

Talking of thin loo paper, it all seems to be so thin lately! At least anything we buy is - I don’t go for any quilted stuff.

Isn’t it “Who Gives a Crap” or has the London Underground got in on the act?

Yes, it is. i couldn't remember and I was too lazy to get off my chair and walk into the living room to check.

Very absorbent though 😁

apparently made of Bamboo

Avoid using near pandas….

Congratulations Aldom!

Great present - and the profits are used to benefit others.
Wine would be good, too , but I'd give the gnomes a miss, thanks.

I buy them too apparently made of Bamboo. Been using them for several years, I have no complaints.
Tbh it's a good idea as a House warming gift. I have given in the past, crazy front door mats and Garden Gnomes.

I get Who Gives a Crap, the 3ply variety.
More densely wound rolls which last a lot longer, but probably not quite as luxurious as some of the premier quilted brands. However, the boxes are delivered to the door and I have room to store them, so it’s a win-win for me.

I think Tesco is now selling it.

And every time you ‘go’ you’ll be reminded of your sister and BIL 😊

I think it's a crap present!

I think I would have preferred 48 bottles of wine

Sounds like a good practical house warming gift Monica. I will be interested to know what you think of the loo roll. I've seen it at a relative's house and I thought it looked very thin. You will be pleased to hear that I have exchanged contracts today. Such a relief to have the stress behind me.
