Commode - Just what I always wanted!

[Dottie]

I am now a proud owner of a lovely wicker armchair/commode for my shed, so no more squating over a bucket for me. What a great way to start off the new year, the comfort of knowing I won't be caught short at the lottie.

I had previously put in a lovely wicker armchair in the shed, as I need to sit down to rest more than doing anything on the lottie, these days. So the fact that I now have a multi-purpose seat and toilet, makes me feel I've won the lottery.

I do so hope you also have one of these

The crown looks a little uncomfortable to sit on, but you've given me the idea to maybe look into ways I can feel more regal while on the throne.

The commode came via freecycle, but I thinking I could recycling the hats from the christmas crackers. Just need a do not disturb sign to put on outside and I'll be sorted.

Height of luxury.......... darn sight better than crouching over a bucket ....

[Brengirl]

Hehe... You put the crown on your head whilst on the throne till the cup runneth over...

Yeah it's dead posh, the pan has a lid and handle to lift out easily.

It's funny how it seems like a real treat for me to use at the lottie, but I don't think I'd be quite so happy about it, if I was in need of one at home.

Apparently it was bought in 2004, but it looks like new. So the person it was bought for was not keen, and now the family are house clearing.

Well there's posh for you!

Great thread !!

Great picture.

Cant get the vision of someone sitting on a commode in their lottie shed out of my mind.

Does it also help with keeping flies away from your sandwiches ?


best regards

Never had a problem with flys, but I could always attached some corks to my crown.

If you are getting wet behind the ears you defiantly have a problem.

May well do, but I can do a handstand for 5 mins

To be fair it's not a real problem, I just don't find squatting over a container very comfortable or maybe it's just feels wrong ("I'm a lady", Little Britain). So when freecycle offered them every now and then, I decided that they could be the next best thing to having a loo in my shed to sit on.

Obviously it helps if you have a shed to hide away in and I've not actually tried it out yet. But as an idea and multi-purpose seat/loo, I'm very pleased and feel happy that 1 of my basic needs will be met when visiting the lottie.

I will seriously be taking a least 1 paper crown from the christmas crackers down to the shed, as I feel my first use should be treated as an event. Although it will be a private affair, no spectators or well wishes will be invited.

Can anybody remember the adverts for surprise peas in the 70s
