This is it, Zuleika, what would we use instead?

Well we could firstly cut back on the number of sheets we use.
We could sit on the toilet and shake vigorously until dry.
Hold on for many hours longer, or keep all toileting to one time in the day.
Do what l have seen in public toilets, scrape and just use the wall.

Seriously, l don’t know what we will use?
I wonder if there will be a shortage of disposable nappies too?

I have lots of toilet rolls in already as l never run low on most thing, hence l am not panicked at the moment

I never panic about running out of toilet paper. I usually recycle mine.
Just hang it on the wall and belt the $#!t out of it.

Panic buying means shops will limit how much you can purchase, which would be unnecessary if we all shop as normal, and probably increase the price.

I agree.


I couldn't give a stuff what we run out of. If there's no toilet paper, I'll use a lefty newspaper and if that runs out (which it will), I'll just have to be more creative.

Some great ideas there. I like the idea of using the old toilet roll tubes but of course you need to be able to buy them first.
