Icky toilets...

Ok people, listen up......have you made friends with your toilet brush???
This is a question I ask my husband! 
No, I don't mean, go play with it or anything *cough grose *cough.  Do you use it? 
When you personally make a icky schtinky mess in the loo....do you pick up that toilet brush and clean up the *shudder skids?
Firstly, I should point out, this is not a rant about my husbands own toileting skills, nor am I pointing the finger at any particular friend....but my golly I've visited some rather shitty toilets lately!!! (pun very much intended!)
Growing up, we always had a bit of a chuckle over Dad's cleaning obsession with our loo, every morning without fail, and if you were the next one in after him you'd have to use some toilet tissue to dry the disinfectant off the seat....which I hated.  But, if only I knew how lucky we had it with a cleaning obsessed Dad.
If only I knew that using toilet tissue to dry off disinfectant would become something I wished I were doing in some toilets.....as opposed to using toilet tissue to dry off the last persons wee dribbles...eeewwwww!
It has been my disdain in toilets of late that has made me adamant that when we introduce Jack to the toilet, he isn't flying the coop til he's learned up on the ways of the toilet brush!!
How hard is it to scrub the toilet folks? Seriously!!
I know we're not up to the toilet faise yet with our child, but I'd really like to think that I'd keep the toilet clean of "bad aims" and skids, especially for guests.  Yuck.  It makes me dry reach to enter a loo to find piddle and poo and ripped bits of toilet paper with someone's business on it all about the place. 
I mean, seriously, we bare ourselves to the loo.....do you want to sit amongst someone else's filth?

Oh Jen, this post made me giggle...Alot!
It reminded me of when I used to live at home with my parents and my younger brother. He was always guilty of, you know, leaving the evidence behind ;)

I know Im an obsessive toilet cleaner. I think I go through a bottle of Harpic every fortnight, there is nothing more refreshing than using a clean toilet.

A tip to the serial skidmarkers;
Put some toot paper in the toilet before you "drop the kids off to the pool". I wish I could shout this out to the world hahaha.

Oh, you make me giggle!

I hate cleaning the toliet I make my husband do it, I know that sounds bad, but I can clean up kids spew, clean bins, dog poo, change nappies, clean babies bums, but cleaning the toliet...I can't do. Have no idea why, but if my husband wants to clean it, cos I can't, I'm all for it!
