Either way, seat up or down, germs spurt out. There is no way to avoid germs - they are all over the place, in the air, everywhere, but they rarely make us ill. If you hang your washing outside on the line, flies will land on it and take off again - there will always be 'germs' somewhere. If you have it on show indoors, dust in the air will settle on it. In short, we, the whole planet, is surrounded by dirt, germs (that don't usually harm) and dust. Just don't worry about it - and don't worry about germs from toilet flushes, as whatever way it is flushed, it's going to happen anyway - and be so tiny, microscopic amounts as to cause no harm. Just keep your toilet hygienic, in other words clean and smelling fresh, with the usual rim blocks/toilet cleaners, and you'll be fine. I know - never as easy as said to say "don't worry".

If anything, toilet seats and even bowls etc. are usually the cleanest places in the house as people are so conditioned to them being dirty, probably because of what goes down them. It's computer keyboards and chopping boards we need to worry about - those are often very dirty places. The kitchen surface is probably a more unsafe place to put food than the toilet seat is, just because of how often we (people generally) clean our toilets.

However, don't worry about it all - just get on with life! These things pan out fine the vast majority of the time - and, you're not seriously ill, coughing, spitting up blood, anything, real fever or anything, so don't worry. The human body is very adaptive and able to cope. All of us, occasionally, become ill - usually not so severe, usually fever or stomach bug for a few days and then we get over it. As we become adults, it's less likely as the immunity we have built up in childhood. If you become ill, then deal with it then. Just keep things reasonably clean and hygienic, don't be or become obsessive about it, be reasonably safe, and you'll be fine! Don't eat eggs beyond best befores, but otherwise, unlike use-bys, they can often be safely ignored. Common sense:laugh:.

I heartily agree with all the above (including lid up and lid down) except the eggs.

Best before dates are ridiculously short with eggs.

The most effective test is the float test.

Unsure of an egg?
Pop it in a jug of water.
If it sinks it's super fresh.
If it is suspended in the water, it can still be used for baking.
If it floats, sling it.
Eggs are porous so the older the egg, the larger the air sac.

Too many good eggs are thrown unnecessarily.

Housewives of all previous generations used this method before certain agencies deemed fit to have all eggs stamped for the consumers.

Evening luvlies, I was looking at this earlier. I was in Morries yesterday looking at the Frexinet which is down from £14.99 to £5.99 and the guy putting them out said there's 20% off from tomorrow (which is now today IYSWIM)

Now back to the Hardys, if you buy 6 bottles and my maths is right it may work out to be £1.17 per bottle, that's providing the price match compares before the 25% is taken off!

6 x £7.25 - £43.50
Less 25% if you buy 6 - £32.62
13560 match points (6 x 2250)
12000 more points ( 6 x 2000)
Total of 25560 - equates to £25.56

Therefore £32.62 - £25.56 = £7.06 = £1.17 per bottle

Am I right on this TIA x

:money: so it is true :j

Edit:

Warning . I've just been told it is capped at 10,000 points.
