My latest purchase!



You can be forgiven for thinking I’ve gone loo....py!


But I’m flushed with joy and have gone quite potty over my newest acquisition!




Would you like to be privy to this wondrous thing?



OK, I’ll stop talking crap and get to the point!



It’s going in here….


And will stand close to this…



Tiddle dee dee!



It’s an Edwardian loo complete with wondrous floral decorations that are the perfect colour match for my bathroom! I’ve been looking out for one of these for several years, but they don’t come up very often and are usually blue and white. Which I love of course, but they’re very expensive and obviously not the right colour.


So this had to be snapped up at the bargain price of £41! Oh, and petrol to Gillingham and back. A packet of Milliput will take care of the chips, and my friendly handyman, who is quite used to my eccentricities, will plumb it in. And if it doesn't work then it becomes an eye catching plant pot in the garden!

All I need now is a basin to match! Watch this space in another 5 years.

P.S. I don’t usually stoop to lavatory humour.

£41!! What a bargain Mary and you are right it goes perfectly with the lovely wallpaper and accessories. I am sure that you handyman will get it to fit - pick a good book and take your time!

Your latest acquisison is so pretty and will look the part in your lovely bathroom (I like the way you have decorated it)
