They sell loo roll – but not as we know it. We’ve been buying for a while now and we’re on our third box of 48. It costs £36 per box and is uses fully recycled paper. The organisation gives 50% of profits to charity, and the best thing – every roll is wrapped in paper – no plastic in sight. Postage is free.
I took a photo of some of our rolls:
Only to find when I went on the website that they are updating their packaging and it’s even more snazzy:
So if you order now you may get a mixture.
We buy the cheaper 3 ply recycled paper (is that too much information?) but there is also the slightly more expensive bamboo paper for those who want to spend a bit more on their bums. There’s also kitchen roll and tissues as well as various introductory and bulk offers.
There’s even (and I didn’t know this when I started writing this post) a ‘recommend a friend’ scheme where the old and new customers both get £5 off a box so if anyone wants to buy a box let me know and I’ll recommend you.
So what’s not to like? The only negative is the big box if you’r short of space. So why not order with a friend and have half a box each? Or keep the box in the shed until you’ve used a few rolls?
I’ve not been commissioned to write this – I just love the whole concept.
I am a woman of a certain age (not 60 yet!) who lives in Bristol. I’ve lived almost my whole life in Bristol, with a short sojourn in Cornwall in my teens. I am trying to lead my life in an ethical way in all areas and hope to explore what this means.
I have four passions and several interests so I hope I will have plenty to write about. My passions are my family, knitting, cricket and St Peter’s Hospice. My other interests are volunteering, the environment, reading, TV, films & theatre, fundraising, chronic fatigue, mental health and eating. My non-interests are animals, housework, football, rugby and cooking.
I come from a family of four – two sisters and a brother. Our parents dies a few years ago. I am married to my soulmate Colin, an amazing man who tolerates my funny ways and supports me in everything I do. We have three children and two wonderful granddaughters. I am so proud of my family – we must have done something right as they are all good people. I have two sons-in-law who I love like my own and together we all make up a family unit where everyone loves and respects everyone else.
I am a total hypochondriac but do have some genuine problems, some of which I may talk about at a later date. At the moment I am overweight and have just started to eat more healthily, which I think is the answer to weight loss. We were on holiday last week and enjoyed puddings and cakes every day.
I work part-time and Colin is recently retired. This means that we have been able to spend much more time together doing some of the things we’ve been meaning to do – some planned and some spontaneous. I love this period of my life – I just wish I had the energy to match the time and the opportunities available!
