It's friday night, it's nice weather........go to the pub & use their toilet whilst you're there;):rotfl::D Sorry:o, my TV's died & as I can't watch Dermot O'Leary I've drunk rather a lot of wine to cheer me up:o. On a more helpful note, have you tried prodding down it with an unravelled wire coat hanger? Or better still, do you have a plunger? You might get a bit of spillage but not too much.
HTH;) (But if it doesn't I recommend a bottle of wine, it's certainly helped me:D)Post Natal Depression is the worst part of giving birth:p

Your best bet, I'm afraid, is probably to stick an arm in and pull out what you can and hope to clear the blockage. Just don't think about it while you're doing it, and have a good scrub afterwards.The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.0

A mop.
Use it like a plunger - it creates suction and can help to clear it without having to stick your hand down there!0 -
A wire coathanger, unwound (unwind the twisted bit at the top). I know it's only a wire but it'll catch in whatever's down there. It's flexible and will go around the bend.0

i did it! i wrapped two bin bags round my arm, stuck my hand in and used it like a plunger! it sort of reminded me of that scene in 'trainspotting' a bit, but it got the job done! need a glass of wine now....You lied to me Edward. There IS a Swansea. And other places.....

We used to have a toilet that was constantly getting blocked and I found that a short piece of hosepipe - about 50/60cm did the job of moving whatever was in the way.:jTrue wealth lies in contentment - not cash. Dollydaydream 20060
