To stick a newspaper under my arse and squat ??

HELPMyPooIsStuck · 04/11/2012 21:37

I've been bunged up for days, so far i've tried raising my feet on the loo, sat with the paper and a coffee hoping gravity would take effect ( it didn't) rocking back and forth, vaseline splodges and drinking enough water to sink the marie celeste.

I've also tried prunes, treacle and shredded wheat.

I don't even like shredded wheat.

Bar the odd feeble offering loggy ain't shifting, it's right at the launch pad so to speak but just isn't taking off, I can actually feel it when I bend down etc, it appears to have set like clay.

So, in the interests of avoiding to mathmaticians route ( working it out with a pencil ) and in the absence of a bucket an old tub. Would I be unreasonale to shove a newspaper underneath my poor, long suffering arse and squat ??

I actually woke up this morning and thought "I wonder if she's pooed yet"

We should name the bugger for her, given that this is effectively a live birth thread ... for a poo!!

AmberLeaf · 05/11/2012 07:43

My first thought when I woke....

Gloves, and a manual removal I'm afraid. Just get the bloody log out!!!

The tension is unbearable!
I suggest Crapella for a name.

fuzzpig · 05/11/2012 08:33

Any news?

Epsom salts are supposed to help.

WandaDoff · 05/11/2012 09:00

has she had it yet?

Brycie · 05/11/2012 09:01

My best suggestion is to go to a library or a bookshop, but make sure a toilet is nearby.

Littlemissimpatient · 05/11/2012 09:05

John or Joan?

TheCunnyFuntWearingAPoppy · 05/11/2012 09:25

Littlemissimpatient · 05/11/2012 09:30

brycie I think the OP has tried nearly all of the suggestions. It would be impossible to say what has worked.

MrsWilliamSherman · 05/11/2012 09:34

Brycie · 05/11/2012 09:34
