It’s flushing but not going anywhere and the bowl is full of poo and loo paper Blush What the heck do I do?!

If I do that to the loo brush I’ll then have to wash it Xmas Envy

Coat hanger to hoick the paper out the u-bend, use it to hold some of the paper from flushing then flush again

YoungLennyGodber · 24/12/2018 19:38

Quickly, as much water in there as you can manage! What a nightmare, sorry for laughing OP!

ThomasRichard · 24/12/2018 19:38

There are so many bubbles I can’t see what’s going on!

I would try to put paper around the brush to break the poo up. Then spray bleach on the brush and flush a few times with the brush near the force of the spray.

Can you fake your own death, then run away when the paramedics have collected you.
Head for the airport, change your name cut off your hair change into different clothes and rewrite your entire life history?

Cannot think of anything more sensible to do.

Or stay locked in loo until everyone gone to bed then deny even being aware the toilet existed in that spot?

I don't know where the z's came from on my last post...

ThomasRichard · 24/12/2018 19:39

I blame DP for using those awful washlets as loo roll.

Carrier bag over the loo brush and plunge! Then turn bag inside and chuck!!!

endofthelinefinally · 24/12/2018 19:39

Oh dear, just read that you are locked in there.
Are there any plastic bags/ gloves or a bucket in there?
Sometimes a bucket of water poured in from a great height can work.

ThomasRichard · 24/12/2018 19:39

Grin thanks for making me laugh.

This is so embarrassing. I’m waiting for the bubbles to clear a bit. Sod it, I’m trying another flush...

Inside out that should say

SillyMoomin · 24/12/2018 19:40

Can you sneak back into your room and grab an old wire coat hanger?? Unravel and pole it around “down there”

Memoryshot · 24/12/2018 19:40

Is there a plunger in the laundry or another bathroom? (if you can get to them and double back in time)

thegreylady · 24/12/2018 19:40

Kettle of boiling water usually works. It must. Have been a massive poo! Call your dh, explain what has happened and get him to bring the kettle.

Greenglassteacup · 24/12/2018 19:40

Can you run yourself a bath to buy some time?

sabrinathethirtysomethingwitch · 24/12/2018 19:41

We've all been there OP 😂 Fess up,give them all a laugh. Your husband can help you sort it.

ThomasRichard · 24/12/2018 19:41

Oh gosh, there are poo chunks floating around the bowl BlushSad

Bucket of water it is. Dinner’s on so I’ll have to explain why

GobblersKnob · 24/12/2018 19:41

What is everyone else doing? Will you be missed?

Agree, you need something pokey. Can you phone a friend?

ItsJustASimpleLine · 24/12/2018 19:41

I feel very tense for you. This is a nightmare of mine. In laws have a crazy fl7sher and you need to do it just right or it doesn't work

endofthelinefinally · 24/12/2018 19:42

Yes it is DP's fault. Only toilet paper should go in the loo, not wipes.

Memoryshot · 24/12/2018 19:42

Poo chunks are a good sign. It's breaking up. Grin

YoungLennyGodber · 24/12/2018 19:43

Another flush... and another.... and another?

ThisIsWhatItSoundsLike · 24/12/2018 19:43

Say you've got catch up in a hilarious thread on MN and may be some time.

Not exactly a lie, but will buy you some thinking/plunging time

SlowCooked · 24/12/2018 19:43

Washing up liquid works wonders
