shedloads
Tons and tons
Shedloads is British slang for a very large amount: They made shedloads of money on that deal.
The word follows the pattern of other informal quantity terms like boatloads and truckloads, though a shed is considerably smaller than either.
Usually plural: shedloads of work to do.
