lol, I just looked at that and couldn't help thinking "is that for real?"!!!

Boxy, you MUST be bored.

Mind you, so must I, I am making pastry.

I'll save some for Little Tiggs and he can make a robot.

Bored witless as I am lots of times I can't think I've ever been so in need of a passtime that I'd turn to that.
But I'll make a note of the site, just in case

Toilet rolls? Our paper comes in little squares threaded on a loop of string.

[sandyRoe]

^ That was luxury. We often had to recycle the paper the fish and chips came in.

You could always make a glider to escape from a prison camp with them!

As told in "Ripping Yarns".

[stewey]

Sandy, is that where the term "lardarse" come from?:)

[sara3]

they're good (split) for keeping a roll of wrapping paper together.

I'll get me coat......

[sherrardk]

Good idea Sara, think I will nick that one.

Before you get to the cardboard centres you could try some of these

[sara3]

yay, go me!

I had a look but didn't see the instructions on how to give the unused roll to Tom Cat to kill and disembowel. It is quite a decorative way to use a roll with little bits of shredded paper all over the house.

Hi,boxtops,a good site for primary school teachers.It's amazing what can be made from toilet and kitchen rolls.
stewey-that brings back memories (of 70 years ago)-Thought it great when we got Izal toilet paper though that wasn't very soft lol

[boxtops]

Gee, I remember Izal (or was it Bronco?) - my dad wouldn't use anything else.

[ferlew]

Pah. They don't mention the best use for them.
Sow any long rooted seeds in them, and plant direct, avoiding root disturbance, for example, sweet peas.

[quinie]

Good idea,ferlew.

[boxtops]

They make good compost too - the gap in the centre allows air space in your compost bin. All our toilet roll and kitchen roll inners go in our compost.

Some good ideas for re-cycling toilet rolls

i give my loo roll inserts to my god-daughter for her hamsters

If all the toilet rolls discarded by all the people, in all the towns, in all the world were laid end to end, they would probably reach Uranus.
