Sally, just so we get accurate measurements here, are you talking Andrex double quilted velvet with roomy sheets, or Happy Shopper supermarket own brand type stuff with much smaller dimensions???<br><br>I just like to have these things clear, y'know, to avoid misleading measurements??<br><br>How nutty are we?? Will measure tonight & report later.<br><br>Jo.<br>XXX (20 wks this week and ??? sheets)

This post really made me laugh, BUT OMG, dh has just measured me at eight sheets (Susi, please tell me your having one, not two for at 18.5 weeks, I sound HUGE!!!) Either that, or you were all really skinny beforehand, and I'm just a fatty anyway. lol<br>Zoe x

Don't worry Shell, im going to measure mine when I get home tonight (the loo roll at work is in separate sheets and I can't be ar*ed with sellotaping them together), but Im bound to be about 30 sheets! Although I haven't got tjhat big a bump, and its all very low down and I just look like Ive been eating too many cakes rather than have Herbie camping inside! I was a size 16 before I got pregnant and I reckon I would have been about 20 sheets of loo roll if I'd measured myself then!<br><br>DH is going to think i've completely lost it when I get home and start wrapping bog roll round my belly!
