Not really but thought it would get you over here.

Can I put caustic soda down it??
I can't find anything specifically for it yet I used to be able to I'm sure.

Nowt sinister-just the baby going mad with the bog roll.

agree with RubyRioja

get as much out as you can using an implement ( dare I mention the loo-brush) or the marigolds

a wire coathanger opened out with a loop on the end?

yoyo · 26/06/2006 14:39

Knot a carrier back with some air in it then use it like a plunger. If that fails, marigolds and yog pots to scoop out the paper. Three toilet-paper loving children have given me this knowledge.

beansontoast · 26/06/2006 14:40

plunge it!

ps you do make me laugh moondog

LotosEater · 26/06/2006 14:40

and follow up the clearence with a good rant at the perpetrator - worked on my ds2

beansontoast · 26/06/2006 14:41

neat trick yoyo

yoyo · 26/06/2006 14:41

If using wire coathanger you may have to scrub the marks off the enamel. Done that too.

JackieNo · 26/06/2006 14:41

Ooh yoghurt pots - now there's an episode of Balamory that I'd love to see. 'Well, it all started when Josie Jump put too much paper down her toilet...'

moondog · 26/06/2006 14:41

Knot a carrier bag?? Eh???? Why so???
Plunge it???

Fucking hell,sounds terrifying

MD - you know, like a balloon.

LotosEater · 26/06/2006 14:43

IMHO better to get as much out as possible rather than plunging as you may just move the blockage further on and end up getting dyno-rod out to clear it

moondog · 26/06/2006 14:44

Yoyo,no idea what oyu're on about!!!

beansontoast · 26/06/2006 14:44

be afraid ...be very afraid.

plunging [id recommend using a plunger]exploits the force of a vacum to shift the blockage...and is very effective.

TooTicky · 26/06/2006 14:45

I think you can use soda crystals...or was it bicarbonate of soda? Or would that make it foam up? I think you'd better ignore me!

beansontoast · 26/06/2006 14:45

shove it down the loo and 'plunge'it up and down..
surely you know that bit?

yoyo · 26/06/2006 14:48

It works like a plunger - never got round to buying one as am a skinflint. Besides, being a SAHM gets so tedious that even coming uop with novel ideas to unblock toilet is interesting. I might even block it just for the hell of it. The fun of a successful unblocking. Might write a manual. Would at least involve my brain.

QE · 26/06/2006 14:48

ugh, sorry can't help otherwise i would honk. Can't stand poo.

Yesterday dh trod in ds3's poo which fell out of his pyjama trousers as he dashed for the loo and didn't make it. Poo nugget lay camouflaged on our carpet - that was til dh trod right in it!!!

God, I pmsl even when dh was shouting obsenities at me for not helping him!

QE · 26/06/2006 14:49

Barefoot as well which made it even funnier. Sqidged right between his toes.
