That was the only version that I could search for since dh has installed safe search and I don't know how to turn it off We call a turd a turd, in this house!

moondog · 13/01/2006 21:27

MSpoon,have one sit down one and one squat one which is never used.

nooka · 13/01/2006 21:28

phew - martianbishop I though you might be going all twee on us!

Blandmum · 13/01/2006 21:28

don't turkish loos have a tap to wash your bum while on the loo?

nowanearlyNicemum · 13/01/2006 21:31

what sort of paper are you people buying if you can use just one sheet at a time? doesn't it just disintegrate on contact with the dirty bits? I like a good wodge of paper, me.

Gra=eat list MB. So how many of those "poopies" will anyone own up to. I think I have had all but 2.

Blandmum · 13/01/2006 21:32

Dh's grandfather used to have dumps he described as 'Twice round the bowl and pointed at both ends'

MrsSpoon · 13/01/2006 21:32

Thanks Moondog, I feel better for knowing that.

MrsSpoon · 13/01/2006 21:34

shudder< at your DH's grandfather MB.

QE2 · 13/01/2006 21:36

So, how many people on MN wipe with their right hand, and how many wipe with their left hand?

Meanoldmummy · 13/01/2006 21:37

If I ask my dh if he can hang on a minute he says "sorry dear, I'm touching cloth"...it makes my guts lurch

Blandmum · 13/01/2006 21:37
Shock
nowanearlyNicemum · 13/01/2006 21:38

QE2, don't right-handers wipe with their left and left-handers with their right?
is this another preconception that's about to be shattered this evening???!

MrsSpoon · 13/01/2006 21:38

QE2, TBH I don't know but suspect it's my right hand.

MrsSpoon · 13/01/2006 21:39

and I'm right handed.

As this wine is settling tonight I'm starting to have doubts about having rambled on about my poo habits on MN.

nooka · 13/01/2006 21:41

I'm pretty sure I use my right hand and I am right handed

Lonelymum · 13/01/2006 21:42

I can't believe you don't know which hand you use! Also, I can't believe people use their non-dominant hand.

nowanearlyNicemum · 13/01/2006 21:43

I'm left handed and wipe with right -
don't know where I picked that piece of wisdom up from then

nowanearlyNicemum · 13/01/2006 21:44

and no lonelymum, I don't have a problem with co-ordination just because it isn't my dominant hand

QE2 · 13/01/2006 21:45

OMG - I am laughing so much I am crying at you lot answering that!!!!

MrsSpoon · 13/01/2006 21:46

Going to the loo now for a pee and will report back which hand and whether there was any dripping, OK.

Meanoldmummy · 13/01/2006 21:46

I can't imagine wiping with my non dominant hand. It would be inviting disaster, surely? Sometimes a surprising level of fine motor skill is called for

nowanearlyNicemum · 13/01/2006 21:48

god, I'm obviously a bit of an oddity.
any other (honest) left-handers out there?????

Meanoldmummy · 13/01/2006 21:50

It's probably terribly significant. Do you have flying dreams at all? Or a deep-rooted fear of the colour yellow?

Lonelymum · 13/01/2006 21:50

No I don't think so nowanearlyNicemum (you are not an oddity). Funnily enough my ds1 was telling me today that he reckons he is ambidextrous as although he writes with his left hand, he does most other things with his right. I think that is because he was taught to do other things by RH people.
