Time to put bleach down the toilets. Part of me sometimes feels sorry for those germs

[Emily1583]

Exactly that really. Gonna put bleach down the toilets before bed. Not been done since Sunday. Those germs are probably minding their own business not knowing the bleach is coming for them. Sometimes feel sorry for those little blighters.

Yeah I know. Bad of me for having bleach. It's all I have at the moment though for the job in hand.

Exactly. Can’t remember the last time I used bleach for anything. Eco-friendly toilet cleaner does the job.

Ooh. I've posted that before a few times (and been on MN 13 yrs). I literally always say it's the 'not fulfilling its destiny' bit that crushes me.

I’ve never really understood why I’m supposed to be so afraid of germs in the toilet bowl - they can’t jump and I don’t touch them.

I can’t separate bananas

Yes bananas. They are literally siblings at birth.

Snap out of it emily. Get that bleach down and give the bleach bottle an extra hard squeeze from me 😁

OMG I feel like I've just met somebody famous! 😁

Yep you're right @Iatethelastrolo I will snap out of it. It will be done before my bedtime. Next 10-15 minutes.

It was on here, on bloody MN, and now I do the same bloody thing. Have to scrape the bastard tins out so that the poor baked bean isn't left behind.

The other day I had a single poached egg for breakfast which meant there was just one egg left in the box. I patted him on the head and promised I'd eat him soon so he wouldn't be lonely.

😏

I think the last baked bean analogy is the one I was thinking of when I said the last grape. Yep they all need to leave the can.

Downstairs loo has now been bleached.

Ah, middle class privilege.

You wouldn't be so compassionate about the little germies if they had their wicked way with you, would you?

Bleach and flush!

Yay bye bye germies. Don't flush straight away though. Leave them to burn in the bleach.

Both toilets have been bleached. Part of me feels bad for doing so but part of me thinks it's nice for the germs in both toilets to have been killed in union together.

Love this thread.

Feel guilty when I pull up weeds and leave their prettier floral companions ... So unfair of me ...

What about the insects that depend on them to live, and the plants not polinated by those insects because they died. Also what about the creatures that never got to eat those insects and their never to be born offspring .. and all the plants they never got to polinate?

Cull the grass & compost it, all the pretty flowers will love you for that, and throw lots of wild flower seeds around and let them bloom. Then the insects will love you too & your garden will be amazing 😁

When l was a child when eating my cornflakes.. l had to make sure those next to each other in the bowl were in the same spoonful so they could stay together while l ate them.

Otherwise they'll think "she looked at me but decided I wasn't good enough".

I'm getting less and and less happy about mowing my lawn. Every time I do it I imagine it from a bugs perspective... A huge scary machine mangling their house and their friends. I do it about once a year. It pisses my boring neighbour off but I don't care.

@1Week did you know that grass (sort of) "screams" when cut?

Nevermind leaving one egg for later... I keep chickens and every so often I feel horribly guilty for stealing their eggs (especially when they're broody)!

Kind of like the opposite of the murderous joy I feel when administering a dose of Ovex to the children

I don't know how sentient daisies are, but dandelions have some sort of learning ability. If a particular plant lives on a lawn and is regularly cut, it flowers (and then seeds) when very short. Another plant a few feet away that is never cut will grow much taller.

Can't remember where I read this, but it's true - the dandelions on our cut-every-now-and-then grassy area grow to about six inches, those on my dad's cut-every-time-Top-Of-The-Pops-is-on (childhood trauma! 😁 ) flowered at an inch, and the use-a-flamethrower-every-five-years dandelions on the the periphery of our rural home are absolutely massive!
