Coin down the toilet

[nottheplan]

My 3 yo ds put a coin down the toilet. It has been there a few days now. We can't retrieve it as it is quite far back & under. I've been putting bleach in every day to see if that would help but it just looks like a permanent poo stain. Has anyone got any remedies? Has it happened to anyone else?! Please say it has 🙈

Did no one suggest sex lube and a fish slice?

Bleach the colour of the coin so it blends with the toilet and isn’t noticeable 😂

What is pouring bleach on it going to do?!

You need a stronger acid. You can buy strong acid for cleaning in hardware stores, usually called "Calcium Lime and Rust Remover". It will utterly stink as it removes the layers but it will work.

This thread has made my evening!

Well done to @nottheplan on freeing your toilet from the coin!

@Gothamcity 😄😄👌

the loud giggling I've been doing!

But you lack common sense and refuse to accept the obvious so what do you expect?

this is like the whisk and the celery on ‘Allo ‘Allo 😂

That's hilarious, crying laughing!

Don't do this - it stains/can stain the toilet bowl

Oh - a bit disappointed (sorry). Was hoping it might be a permanent feature!

We have 2 other toilets which is why I was so aghast that the child decided to take the world's biggest dump in the already blocked one. I forgot the worst part of this whole ordeal actually... I posted on our neighbourhood group asking if anyone had a plunger I could borrow as I couldn't find ours, kind neighbour offered us theirs, which also got stuck and then SNAPPED in half with my oh so vigorous plunging action 😭. It was when I was out buying a replacement that the child decided to take the giant crap, and I couldn't bring myself to use the brand new shiny plunger (that I knew I would have to hand over to the neighbour) on the now filthy task at hand, so just took them the brand new one, an apology, and what must have sounded like a rather far fetched explanation. Then I had to go back and buy ANOTHER plunger, which unfortunately for it, was dealt the (literal) shitty hand. Neighbours and the DIY shop must have thought we either had the worst bowel issues or were trying to cover up a heinous crime, and the doll story was just a cover up, because it must have sounded so unbelievable by this point. Months later, my daughter asked where the specific miss sassy pants doll was, as if all recollection of these events that are forever burnt in my mind, had somehow washed over her like it never happened. My life would make for great contraception/abstinence talks, because if someone told me someday I may be elbow deep down a u bend trying to retrieve an excrement covered doll, and basically had shares in the caustic soda industry by my mid 30s, I may have rethought my life choices.

The funniest thing I've read in ages. I hope you are a writer. You could write the funniest book!

Omg howling Gotham 🤣

I read that as Colin down the toilet. Totally different obviously. Sorry.

Yay you managed to shift the coin 😁

Now chuck that coin down a wishing well. You might still get a wish come true out of this whole amusing saga at least 😆

@nottheplan When is the tooth fairy next due a visit?
They may like to use the lucky coin

How would a brush pick up a coin?

Just grab it and wash hands v well

This is the most enjoyable & riotously funny thread I've ever read on here. There's copy that many comedy scriptwriters would kill for. Great stuff, mumsnetters. 😂😍

Try a magnet on a chain or string

Need a picture.

Wind up post, surely? 🤔🤡😇😈

Please don’t shout at me. There’s no MN rule about reading the whole thread and nothing wrong about making a quick response to the original question. This is just a lighthearted chat.

IT SHOULD BE A BANNABLE OFFENCE not to at least read all OP's posts.

In your opinion but MN and quite a few other posters see it differently. I read carefully if the subject of the thread is a big deal emotionally but not for the inconsequential subjects. Someone could just as easily say that you are high jacking threads by adding posts unrelated to the subject, telling off other posters.
