House rules

? no, that's why I said it's all in the mind! I would not use public loos as a child and hence perfected the art of 'waiting until I got home'. Drove my parents mad!

Beau, I think me and you could be friends.Makes you wonder where these feelings come from though.

Marilyn Monroe had a "thing" about other people hearing her pee. When Arthur Miller took her to meet his mother and the time came for her to go to the loo, she turned on all the taps to drown out any sounds she might make. Afterwards, Arthur Miller's mother told him that she thought Marilyn was "a lovely girl, but she pisses like a horse".

The "Hyacinthness" is just getting better and better!

We’ll have somebody extolling the virtues (or antibiotic qualities) of crocheted crinoline lady loo roll covers next.
Or possibly one of these.

Oh my eyes Maw, that's 'orrible!

My DD used to love the little crinoline lady in my dad's loo - I'd forgotten all about them!

maw ??????

My sister has a wonderful, old-fashioned WC, with a chain flush and a large, comfortable wooden seat in her downstairs shower room. There's a bookshelf in a handy position too. As far as I know, there have never been any outbreaks of collywobbles among the many who have used that facility. I, on the other hand, have only one bathroom which is upstairs and available to guests, though I was a bit embarrassed when a friend used it and I subsequently found a pair of my undies on the floor - must have dropped out of the pile of laundry when I took it downstairs. Friend made no comment.

Maw - did you crochet that yourself? It pips the crochet lady doesn't it.

Never realised I was so laid back! Don’t mind if people use my upstairs, downstairs , en suite, whatever they like.

All these pseudo Hyacinths; and not a word about the support army of Richards, keeping their heads down and busy!
I do like Richard!!

The flannel basket gets emptied twice a week and laundered with towels on a short hot wash with eco friendly detergent
I wish my machine would do a short hot wash - the hot wash takes over two hours, anything shorter won't go above 40C.
