To think that none of you give a shiny shit that I

[HoneyDragon]

Like Matthew Wright
Rinse my mince
And sometimes call people Hun on Facebook

[KnightMare]

I would give him one if he could show some dominance

[cantbelievemyeyes]

I have a toilet brush. I rinse it with boiling water and soak it in bleach every week. No way am I sticking my hand below the waterline to remove sticky skids.

I'd quite like a portable toilet brush to take on mini breaks/ holidays as my heart always sinks when I check into my room and find no brush. No housekeeper gets paid enough to deal with the remnants of DH's post meal out deposits.

Incidentally my Mam always rinsed mince, but she bought minging mince from the supermarket. Steak mince from the butcher requires no rinsing.

[PacificDogwood]

Ah, I must have naice mince

[HoneyDragon]

My a Dad had a quadruple bypass a couple of years ago. I do anything to reduce fats.

[feelingood]

there plenty batshit flying about on this thread...rinsing mince....fat is where the flavour is and if you have bought steak mince to begin with....ffs.

I really dont know....

But I do like Mathew Wright - I just dont take him seriously...he sends himself up IMO but some seem to bite a bit too much.

[feelingood]

So maryz every time you 'go' (for a number 2?) you replace your toilet brush - that must cost a fortune of you regular...

[PacificDogwood]

I would so NOT give MW anything, not even my mince, rinsed or otherwise

I wonder whether I should have a secret toilet brush, a covert one? DH need not know... Where would one keep such an item?

[feelingood]

oh PCdog a overt brush IMO woud involve cling film or carrier bag, think of the drips women, on yer floor

[HoneyDragon]

I buy steak mince so ner.

[PacificDogwood]

Oh, noon, DH would so notice.
He is far less of a slattern than I am. 'Tis a problem...
Hm. Yes. Drips... yeuch

[MzPixielated]

oh for gods sake you lot
if the toilet brush is minging then you aren't using it properly.

1. flush
2. don fetching rubber glove (if you wish)
3. lashings of bleach all round bowl
4. go round the loo bowl with brush in a swirly type motion and scrub any stubborn bits.
5. flush. whilst still holding brush and let the clean water rinse the brush head.
6. splodge of bleach in brush bucket and plonk brush back ready for next use.

After all that bleach its hardly unhygienic.

[feelingood]

So let me get this right maryz nearly every time you go for a poo you change your toilet brush.

I'm not sure about ikea connectiont to your bowel habits

[feelingood]

so if the rinsing mince principle is applied for fat removal does this stand up also for steaks?

You need fatty juice tastes. Can anyone remember dripping bread on a Sunday - oh god the dripping bread off raost beef or lamb - heaven.

[PacificDogwood]

I may need to be all upfront and in-yet-face about the loo brush issue.
Although - we did the bathroom up about 5 years ago. Still have no toilet roll holder

Maybe I need to pick my battles??

IKEA is v good for picking up good toiling habits accessories.

[feelingood]

Your friend is living well maryz. Does Ikea have toilet brushes then I mean you leave your chunks n skids for someone else then? Oh dear....You should get these toilet duck brushes with the disposable 'cloth brush' that is flushable. I mean all my years - thought this was MN standard its that or LTB if they refuse to clean.

[feelingood]

pacificdog you have made me feel immensly better for having put up with a mannually flushing toilet for the last month. I think not having a toilet roll holder for that long trumps. I mean when they men f olk leave it in front of them on sil....thats no godd for us, give yourself a hernia swivelling round for the t roll

[PacificDogwood]

feelingood, that is our method of choice at the moment. But those flushable pads are difficult to get. Even the big Tesco does not always have them. And then they look funny at me when I buy half a dozen packs at a time.

Maryz, yum. How hard did your gran work? I mean, physically, work?
I had an uncle who was never seen without a stinking cigar smoking away at his lip - he lived to over 90 too. He still stank, pinched my bum inappropriately AND was a lucky bastard .
