    If your toilet blocks nip down the shop and buy yourself the cheapest 2 litre bottle of fizzy pop you can find. Empty it down the sink or fill up all your glasses and mugs with it, doesn't matter. You just want the empty bottle. Now cut off the bottom 2 inches of the bottle AND MAKE SURE THE CAP IS SCREWED ON TIGHT. Holding the cap end, put it into the toilet bowl and thrust HARD into the u bend like you would with a plunger. You might want to sort of close the toilet lid as much as possible to avoid splashes. Few thrusts with your pop bottle and that'll clear even the most stubborn blockages. Its never failed me yet, and trust me, I have a habit of blocking toilets!!
