5 things...

you can’t avoid in a family bathroom

ONE

Floordrobes are not limited to bedrooms. But in a bathroom, the floordrobe contents are often wet. Even though the hotter-than-hell towel rail and/or laundry basket are two feet away…

TWO

Toothpaste drool. If you’re lucky, it will only reside on the inside of the basin. If not, it’ll snail-trail over the perimeter and down the sides, possibly onto the floor, inevitably meeting the freshly laundered bath mat.

THREE

Steam. There isn’t an extractor fan in existence that can compete with a teenager in the shower. Enjoy the effects of a steam generator shower, for free! Which is all fine until the paint starts peeling.

four

Toys breed at night. You start with a small net of toys and maybe the odd waterproof book. Before long, bigger, uglier plastic will be suckering to the tiles and squirting (black mouldy) water in your eyes.

five

The loo seat will be left up. End of.
