my boys, (the're 21 and 22 now), used to aim at a ping-pong ball floating in the pan. It stayed clean :eek: and didn't flush away. But it sure does improve their aim, which small boys are terrible at.;)
I need a flipping ping pong ball! In fairness to him though...He knows to clean the seat or call me if it goes further.... and fair play to him - I taught him how to change a toilet roll!!! :T:T
There will be a Man on this planet capable of the task if I have anything to do with it, I swear it!
