Do you have a loo routine ?

[whiffey]

Champagne's Human Genome made me wonder what we all do on the loo. Avoiding the earthy bits, I have 2 radios, one permanently tuned to Radio 4, the other to LBC 1152. On the side of the bath I keep a pile of Ordnance Survey maps and road atlases, a book of English villages, and currently a book about Al Qaeda.

A visit to the loo therefore becomes an opportunity for mind travel, current events, and John Humphries ripping politicians to shreds.

How do you pass your time in the small room, or do you just try to get it over and done with asap ?

I always use the downstairs loo, as my bedroom is downstairs too.

It has no room for a table as the washing machine & freezer also occupy the room..so if need be I could eat a cornetto & empty the washing machine whilst going about my business. However, I tend to just do the deed then leave.

I am a woman, after all ;o)

I have a magazine rack, full of mainly comedy books and scripts!

[sandrajo]

You do make me laugh whiffey thanks for setting me up in a good mood for this afternoon. I'm in and out the loo unless i'm going for a bath then its a magazine or my phone to text people lol.

[kazminx]

i try to clean whatever is within my cleaning distance...i also have a large mirror beside me and i like to annoy myself by looking in it!!! not a pretty site!!

[Champagne]

My fella has stacks of magazines in the bathroom, whereas I'm the type to just get on with the job, so to speak. The dog follows me to the toilet. If I'm having a shower or bath I often leave the door open to interact with him. He doesn't come into the bathroom though. He's scared of floor tiles. :o)

[PinkFizz]

I find it handy to take my mobile with me,and a duster and polish,so I can get urgent phone calls out of the way,whilst polishing the mirror tiles at the same time!

[froggo]

ladies mags and the screwfix catalogue do it every time;~)
and it must be before a bath!

[Drusilla1S]

You have a freezer in the loo, Pippa????? Have I misread your answer?

[Supernick]

Take 'em all at work. Get paid to be on the bog, and save pennies on toilet roll. Little tip for you all ;-)

[whiffey]

PinkFizz - you make phone calls from the loo ?!!

How do you explain the unusual acoustics ?

[Champagne]

Pink, I hope you don't chat to people when doing a #2!!!

And, of course, I consider philosophical subjects like genomics, as well where I went wrong in order to fail all 3 Su Doku games that I tackled yesterday!!

[Pippa68]

No Drusilla, you didn't misread!

I have a downstairs loo which is the other end of the utility room. I couldn't actually reach the freezer or the washing machine from the loo, but I can reach the wash basin...so maybe I could wash my feet while on the loo. Now there's a thought.

[PinkFizz]

I was joking about the calls - but I do text !!

[Robinia]

I take my Woman's weekly & a pencil & trace the pictures through sheets of Izal.....

[Rufio]

I have a "Toilet Trivia Book" in there at the moment, loads of interesting facts. The last paragraph says "one of the facts in this book is printed twice - can you find it?" Err...no, and i've been checking for months now. Failing that i go ****-eyed and look at the wallpaper in 3D. Or brush my teeth.

[buff_lesbian]

A lady never tells Whiffey and really this is putting me off my food!

[sg]

can I join in?

[whiffey]

Welcome sg, pull up a pedestal and sit down.

We have a downstairs loo as well as one upstairs in the bathroom, but that only gets used at night or if I am caught short whilst leaving the bedroom.
We have a stack of books in the downstairs one which occasionally get flicked thru. I have been known to spend ages in there (to the point hubby wonders where the hell I have disappeared to) whilst trying to complete a level on my Nintendo DS! Only place I can get any peace whilst playing it!
And I text in there too... and use the phone (sometimes)!
So there, now you know!

Ours is at the back of the house, where the pigeons roost. the pigeons sit on every available ledge and pipe they can find. If we leave the bathroom window open a pigeon will come in the window and poo on our toilet. Dirty pigeons! They don't even flush, at least my flatmates always blame it on the pigeons.....
I have a radio in there, but generally that only gets switched on at bathtime. Reading matter is restricted to an ancient book of houseplants.
So quite a Spartan affair really, with just me and my feathered freinds.
