To win a prize for the rescue of your team's choice, all you have to do is collectively create a poster detailing the 'Rules of the Bathroom' and that I can then print a copy of, laminate, and stick on the bathroom door! Perhaps, if it could be illustrated a bit with cartoons, the larger DMP would take note? (I live in hope, but tackling him over lights left on last night, and the hot tap left trickling, thus using extra gas for hours until I happened into the bathroom was met with a blank stare. Anyway, please see my earlier blog posts for inspiration, and if anyone else has DMPs who have additional ways of messing up bathrooms, and that mine have not yet discovered, feel free to include them, just in case! When each team posts their finished poster, please remember to nominate the rescue to receive their prize parcel, thanks. Have fun - and THANK YOU! I really do need to delegate this task, and rescues may as well benefit as a result, plus members have some fun in the process! (That while I tackle the mountain of sewing up part-made stock, so please don't think I'll be idle - I can't go to bed tonight until my son returns between 4 - 5am, so will have done about a 24 hour day by then, albeit fairly sedentary.)

I cannot believe that there are NO entries for this! Surely someone wants to have a go and win a prize for a rescue?

Patch, I have printed a copy of that! Love it! ;D I wonder if my son will notice it in his bleary-eyed morning haste? Dorian, I can't remember the rest of that one, can you? My grandson has me in stitches when he uses the loo, as he lifts the seat up a bit with one hand, holds his trews down a bit with the other, arches his back and fires! He's still a better shot than his dad, too, I reckon! I want to find some means of sticking a target to the rear bit of the loo... either that or some plastic flies/bugs suspended in some way for target practice...

Love it! ;D I wonder if my son will notice it in his bleary-eyed morning haste? ;D ;D ;D Is this it - found it by googling so I don`t know if its a complete/original version ? "Please remember, don't forget Never leave the bathroom wet Nor leave the soap still in the water That's a thing you NEVER oughta Nor leave the towels about the floor Nor keep the bath an hour or more When other folks are wanting one Please don't forget - it isn't done!"

Ping Pong balls, eh? Sounds good, but will I ever get Ethan out of the loo then? ;D BTW, Patch, which rescue shall I send a prize to for your bathroom poster, please? The amount of mugs that seem to disappear, and dirty washing that gets strewn around the bedroom is another bone of contention here. I bought Dyl a laundry basket back in November for his birthday... it's still in the front room where he left it! As I can't bend down without risk to pick stuff up, grip things easily to carry mugs safely downstairs, and don't believe I should be runing around doing things they are capable of doing for themselves, how about someone coming up with another poster for the bedroom's rules? ;D Also, I don't know if the bedlinnen is being taken up to my ex-mother-in-laws to be washed, but I certainly haven't seen any of theirs in amongst my washing/ironing since they moved in here! There is a cupboard in their ful of clean sheets and pillowslips... Beginning to wonder if they have even accessed that? I taped that copy of the bathroom one on the back of the door last night and in full view... NO COMMENT from Dylan so far. I doubt he's even noticed it let alone read it!

If anyone fancies doing one for the kitchen as well, or instead of, feel free! I TRY and recycle as much as possible here, and also compost a lot of things via a wormery in the back yard, but getting the message across seems to be a sticking point. Worms do no eat cellophane, polystyrene, broken mugs or plastic bags! Sticky plastic bottles and unwashed empty backed been tins have to be washed before going into their recycling bags etc... Similarly, drinks cans have to be emptied first and flattened... Oh, and they don't take yoghurt pots and waxed carboard cartons either! (Is it really SO hard for some to grasp? I suspect this isn't just down to my son and grandson, however. A couple of helpers here probably contribute too!
