I thought it was my fault as I had put cotton wool in the loo by mistake and so the water filled the loo bowl and went down slowly.
As DH blamed me I thought I would go and have a little poke around with my hand <eek> and I managed to pull out some tissue from the ubend but then a felt a bit of poo. <eek again> So I got a wire coathanger and poked a bit more and now it is worse and the loo is full of DISGUSTING-NESS (which I shall not describe!) but there is no way I can be the cause.........
So..........what do I do now? Am leaving it til tomorrow and the children are on strict instructions to not go near or flush and I will go to Homebase tomorrow but what is it and what should I do?
Am scared of poo all over the bathrooma and the smell might get worse and DH is not very happy as I made him poke around too!
If you are feeling very brave, try bucket routine.
Not for the faint hearted. Get a bucket of water, flush, and when the water is at its lowest ebb, chuck in a bucket of water. Th force can clear the blockage.
Mine did this a couple of times. Once this New Year after a party at which everyone ignored the "please do not use" sign.

I had to open a drain outside on new years morning and prod around with a bean pole in the end.
Hugely satisfying!
We have a loo that does this quite frequently - a plumber friend told us to buy a cheap mop and keep that to use as a big plunger - we did just that and it works every time

I am pleased for you - honestly.

Am afraid it does flush OK and run freely ABetaDad!

am now looking round for something else you can fix!

Well done DH. As per our house female emancipation seems to stop once the iccy, difficult, dangerous jobs appear.
Does it all flush OK and run freely? If so, you are OK.

<secretly hopes further major interventions will be required>
<<<<<<<<<<would have gone for the bucket of water tipped from great height>>>>>>>
update
DH got up early and the bowl was still full of vile stuff <shudder>
He did the carrier bag thing (he is very brave) and we could hear him plunging away which was most amusing!
He has cleared the bowl but we are now not allowed to poo in it!! (Glad we have a loo downstairs!)
Off to get some Jeyes fluid now which will hopefully clear the blockage.
Thanks all for your help. If no better later I will be back!
