to stop anyone going to the toilet before Xmas day?

I have cleaned house today from top to bottom including cleaning and bleaching all 3 toilets. They are spotless and smell lovely, you could probably eat your dinner off them!
So, the question is I am being unreasonable to stop anyone using them between now and Xmas day??!

Who have you cleaned them for- Santa?

merrycompo · 21/12/2009 17:52

Are you having guests Xmas day or is a sparkling loo part if your decorations?

Lol

mistletoekisses · 21/12/2009 17:52

YANBU!

Get some of your bedding plant pots (currently redundant) and have them use those! Oh and keep them outdoors so they have to trek through ice/ snow to discourage too many visits.

Limiting food/ liquids may also be a good idea??

I see your 3 and raise you 4. All smelling sweetly and clean in anticipation of parents arriving. Think I will tell dh (worst offender) and the dc to go outside. Yellow snow anyone???

YANBU btw [fgrin[

Not unreasonable at all. I would go so far as to say no cooking either if you've cleaned all the kitchen down, like I have.

purplepeony · 21/12/2009 17:54

No sitting on chairs or using cushions, no walking on newly hoovered carpets, no breathing- possible condensation.

DS worst offender here, he cannot hit the bloody toilet, what is that all about. Must be a boy thing.

Kitchen tomorrow, so no cooking from then on!

Can we get away with takeaways all week and paper plates for breakfast, lunch and tea do you think . Oh and lying on the floor with a sleeping bag so as not to crumple the duvets, having just changed 4 beds.

Garden pots all ready and waiting first use.

Obviously I can still use the toilet cos my s**t smells of roses!

Good thinking alypaly!
Or I could get them to use the cat's litter tray!

I have 3 toilets but only 2 bedrooms. Strage priorities?

One is ont working though, and I can't remember how I fixed it last time. No money for a plumber.

Goblinchild · 21/12/2009 18:12

We have three litter trays...

alypaly · 21/12/2009 18:13

you could also eat your dinner off them

bellavita · 21/12/2009 18:15

lol.

I sooo know what you mean although I will be leaving my cleaning till Thursday then no one can use the toilets until all my guests have on xmas day!

bentneckwine1 · 21/12/2009 18:16

LOL...I just gutted my livingroom today, moved all the furniture and hoovered in all the nooks and crannys, then hoovered the blinds and lightfittings (a once a year job!!) finishing off by blitzing the pile of random paperwork that lives down the side of the display case!!

I stood there all proud of myself and wondered idly if I could shut the door until Friday...however given that I only have that one public room it would mean living in the kitchen all week. So it will probably be just as bad by Friday but at least I will know that it was clean once!!

Saving the bathroom cleaning to christmas eve...my ds will be away to visit his dad and i will have the house to myself.

mistletoekisses · 21/12/2009 18:17

, I have 5.

alypaly · 21/12/2009 18:19

god mistletoe...you must have a big house...lucky you.

megapixels · 21/12/2009 18:21

Of course YANBU. Tell the neighbour you're having drainage problems and ask to use their toilets till it's fixed. It's just like going to Paul's house in the advert. Merry Christmas

BitOfFunderthemistletoe · 21/12/2009 18:22

I have only got one toilet

Do you think some tinsel round the rim will help?

TrippleBerryFairy · 21/12/2009 18:25

YANBU
but if you do it, you might end up cleaning the poo off your nicely polished floors.

The choice is yours.
