Disaster averted

The loo did block and after trying to flush it through with the compressed air drain unblocker, it was my beloved to the rescue.

The offending item was found by my hero at 1.50 pm Greenwich meantime, neatly lodged over the outflow pipe and was victoriously handed back to me a few minutes later. It is now being sterilised and won't see the light of day until it's been immersed for at least 24 hours.

Thank god for a man who can and Milton fluid!

Still it means no embarrassing dentist talk, and even more to the point no blocked loo. I'm still in two minds as to whether to get in touch with BP, as I have to say my attempt at blocking pipes was wholly more successful than theirs.
