Determination drove Carlisle man to dodge dole queue
Last updated at 16:01, Friday, 25 May 2012
A Carlisle man's drive to succeed has helped him dodge the dole queue to launch his own business.
Adrian Daniels was made redundant from his job as a student supervisor at the Richard Rose academy on April 30.
But his determination not to end up unemployed spurred him on to execute a swift U-turn and relaunch himself as a driving instructor.
Danny's School of Motoring took to the road this week.
"There was no way I was going to end up unemployed," said Mr Daniels, of Parham Drive, Raffles.
"I'd known for 12 months that my job was going and I was determined to get straight back into work so I started my driving instructor training last November.
"It's a very involved process with three separate parts – theory, driving and a test of your instructional ability.
"I ended up passing first time which is very rare – only five per cent of people achieve it."
It's not the first time the 48-year-old has put trainee drivers through their manoeuvres.
He started off as a motorbike instructor before a stint as a driving instructor in west Cumbria from 1994 to 1998.
He then moved to Carlisle where he went to work for the AA and as a Stagecoach bus driver and instructor before his short career in education.
"I'm keen to work with the local schools helping young people to pass their tests," he said.
"I think a driving licence is one of the most important qualifications you can get – it opens up a huge range of employment opportunities.
"Driving has changed a lot in the last 20 years; there's a lot more traffic on the road now and there are more hazards, but I don't think driving standards are any worse than they were.
"The big bugbear of all driving instructors though is roundabouts.
"Seventy five to 80 per cent of drivers don't know the correct procedure at a roundabout, which is amazing given everyone is trained correctly when they learn.
"The problem often is that people learn to drive the right way and then they pick up bad habits by watching other people drive or seeing people drive on TV."
Mr Daniels is offering discounts for students and for block booking.
He can be contacted on 07827 446158.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Volvo S60
By KBB.com Editors
The S60 helped launched a styling revolution that transformed Volvo's image from boring box to stylish Swede. Relatively unchanged since its inception, the S60's design has held up well, although newer designs from Audi, BMW and Lexus certainly appear more contemporary. The S60, however, is about far more than just good looks. The car is well-known for its extensive safety features and excellent crash-test marks; it is also available in a number of turbocharged versions ranging from the comfortable all-wheel-drive 2.5T to the tire-smoking S60 R performance sedan. With a roomy cabin, notably comfortable front seats and a long list of comfort and convenience items, the S60 deserves to be near the top of every premium midsize sedan shopping list.
If you're looking for a premium sedan with some style, the S60's sculpted hood, trunk and aggressive wheel and tire packages give it a much bolder look than its understated German and Japanese rivals. The S60 is also a bit wider than most of its competitors, which translates into generous shoulder room.
If you're looking for the neutral handling only a rear-wheel-drive sedan can provide, the high-powered T5's noticeable torque steer can, at times, become annoying. The all-wheel-drive S60 R somewhat eliminates this concern, but its clutch and shifter are not as refined as those of the BMW M or Audi S4. The 2.5T is also not as powerful as many similarly-priced V6 models.
The S60 gets a slight exterior freshening featuring a revised grille and front headlamps, front and rear bumpers and new side mirrors with integrated turn signals. The S60's suspension has also been improved to provide better handling and a firmer ride. Volvo's Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC) becomes standard across the line, as does a tire pressure monitoring system.
Driving Impressions Those who crave power should opt for the top-of-the-line S60 R. Though the R's twin-turbo five-cylinder configuration is not as smooth or refined as its competitors' six and eight-cylinder engines,...the 300 horsepower it generates should make up for any supposed and slight refinement issues. The all-wheel-drive system enhances the R model's ability to stick to the road but, push this car to the limits, and you may notice the steering response becoming less crisp. As good as it is, the S60 R seems perhaps not quite as communicative as its counterparts from BMW and Audi. Still, the R packs a lot of performance into a sedan that costs less than $40K, and it should prove satisfying to most enthusiast-oriented drivers. And, finally, with any Volvo you cannot forget or ignore the brand's exemplary safety reputation.
Sport Seats
The amazingly comfortable sport seats on the Type R grab hold of you and seem to never let go.
Navigation System
The optional navigation system features a retractable screen positioned atop the dash instead of integrated into the audio.
No matter which S60 you choose, all models share two important traits: A roomy, ergonomically-sound interior and an exceptional safety record. The S60's front seats feel great on your back and feature an anti-submarine design to keep you from sliding under the dash during an accident. Functionally, the S60's near-perfect instrument panel has every switch, lever and button within easy reach of both driver and passenger. We love the placement of the optional navigation screen, which rises up from atop the dash rather than being integrated into the audio head unit.Exterior
The S60's new front end has a softer, more rounded appearance, although the familiar diagonal badge grille treatment remains firmly in place. The S60's shape is defined by its sharpened V-shaped hood and trunk lines that join to form a truly attractive sport sedan. The swept-back rear roof creates a nice fastback look and allows the rear doors plenty of glass to aid visibility. In recent years Volvo has produced a number of attractive new wheel designs to enhance the S60's appearance. The S60 R receives extra ground effects and a lower front and rear spoiler.
The S60 has a five-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), Dynamic Stability Traction Control, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, illuminated remote keyless entry, rear fog light, dual heated power mirrors, AM/FM stereo with cassette and CD, front side-impact and front and rear head-curtain airbags, cruise control, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, 16-inch alloy wheels, garage door opener and a power driver's seat. The T5 adds aluminum trim, power passenger seat, sport suspension and 17-inch alloy wheels. The premium R model has a 300-horsepower engine, six-speed manual transmission, all-wheel drive, Brembo brakes, xenon headlamps, leather seats and wider 17-inch alloy wheels.
Options vary by trim and include a five-speed Geartronic automatic transmission (six-speed on the R), all-wheel drive, power glass moonroof, heated seats, headlamp washers, rain-sensing wipers, Pro Logic surround sound, navigation, active xenon headlamps, leather seats and custom alloy wheels.
The 2.5T engine provides good acceleration and plenty of passing power. This engine works well with the automatic transmission, though the optional Geartronic's somewhat lazy shifts left us wishing for a manual option. The high-pressure turbo on the T5 seems to be the best choice for the S60, with better low-end torque than the 2.5T and more rush as the turbo builds boost pressure. The S60 R provides a big boost in power, but its performance-oriented nature and higher price tag will probably not appeal to the average S60 buyer.

"We bought this S60 used with 56K on it (1 wk ago), and the previous owners kept the car up nicely. WE LOVE THIS CAR! We just retired (bought new) a 1995 940 with 330,000 miles (20 freak'n yrs). The turning radius was AMAZING! So far, the S60 is being true to form, not the 940's turning radius, but oh man, this car floats down the street, It is a pleasure to drive, and talk about quality. We're thrilled. VOLVO makes an impressive vehicle. We are brand loyal because of our history with their product. I was offered a Bimmer from my husband once, and I turned him down. He now thanks me for using good decision metrics. He's buying a S60, and ditching his Vette."

"I've owned this car for 8 years, did all the recommended service, and it's been very reliable -- never had anything go wrong with it. First set of tires and brakes and shocks lasted 90,000 miles. Original everything else after 8 years, including battery! It is a very comfortable ride, and gets over 30 mpg on the highway. Nice peppy acceleration. My only word of warning is to check the resale value for Volvos if you don't intend to own it for very long -- the resale value went down very quickly compared with other cars I've owned. If you plan to own it and hold it, as i did, the S60 is a good car to own, highly recommended."

How do you decorate your toilet tank top?
Crazy, I know. When I was a kid we could buy the fuzzy tank tops and tank covers to match the rugs. Now the only thing I can find is a cover for the toilet lid.
Because there's nothing for the tank top, I can't place any glass items on there for fear of getting knocked off.
If I had my sewing machine I'd make a cute little "table runner" for the tank.
What do you have on the top of your tank besides tissues?
Here my guest bath/suite: found the hogwash at a yard sale thought it was cute as could be, on the tiny towels it even say's his and hers...LOL
Susie, where did you find the whole toilet ensemble? I've looked hi and lo and can't find one place that sells them!
As for sanitary measures, I do understand, but it's just my dh and myself, he has his bath and I have mine. With the boys gone, trust me, it's not like it used to be! lol
According to DH, toilets covers were invited because the bathrooms used to be the coldest room in the house, water would condensate on the tank and sweat down onto the floors. Since that's no longer a problem, covers are not necessary. Honestly, I had no idea they still sold sets and can't think of anything that would be more unsanitary.
I did live in an apartment once in college where the water used to freeze in the toilet. Maybe it wouldn't have frozen if I got it a coat!
Does anyone remember those half a barbie doll with a crocheted dress and a skirt that covered the toilet paper roll? When I was a kid I thought it was SO COOL to have a DOLL in the bathroom and knew when I grew up I'd have one in every bathroom. Maybe it's good that I didn't learn to crochet.
You are right allison, they no longer sell sets. (You can see the color difference between the lid cover and the tank cover in the photo even though they are both 'pink'.) I am suspecting they were home made or a vintage find. And yes, the reason for them in the old days was to keep condesation from dripping. The alternative was to wrap the tank in ugly batting or towels.
I am stunned.
Sorry can't remember but have seen tank set's recently in stores, and online, even saw some in a dollar general store. JC Penney online pictures them, And it's always just the two of us here also, plus I'm a clean freak!! and a germophobe, but you will get more germs from your phones then in the bathroom..and OMG those shopping carts!!! we use antibacterial wipes everytime on those disgusting things.
We had a "sweating" toilet in our apartment and it was such a pain, I was always wiping up water. Luckily, our house has tanks that don't condense, but it's not because the bathroom is warm.. brrr... do your business and get back next to the fire, LOL. To answer the question, my tank is "decorated" with the garbage can (so the dog doesn't get into it) and extra rolls of toilet paper (because the sink, where all the storage is located, is on the other side of the bathroom about 8 feet away).
The toilets in two of my bathrooms are undecorated. The one in the half bath has a rectangular shaker basket on it where I keep an extra hand towel (and maybe a magazine hidden under it). Only reason I even do that is because there is no storage in that bathroom (just a pedestal sink and a toilet).
The solution to the sweating toilet is to mix a little hot water in with the cold water supply. A plumber can do this for you. My father had to do it in his basement bathroom.
I'm bored. Look what I found:
It's only $18. We could start a new trend. ;D

Oakleyok, here's a site that will bring you to all the sites online with tank cover sets.
I have nothing on my tank top but I have no problem with people having them. After all, it's your home and you make yourself happy. I'm sure your bathroom is very sanitary. Have fun looking!!
Good for you, Susieq - people should be able to do what they want in their own homes. And you are right about public places - better not to think about shopping cart handles. I haven't touched a public bathroom doorknob or flush handle in years. I use my foot or t.p. on the flusher and a paper towel or sleeve on the doorknob.
Has Uxorial seen these pictures?
I thought Wallmart and Sears still carried the sets. I'll tell you one thing. I used to have a mat around the toilet. I have tile floors and they are not heated, so I thought since it would be warmer on the tootsies. It worked great till my young nephew decided to whiz on the mat instead of in the bowl. However gross that is, I was very glad I had a mat at the time. I couldn't imagine the mess he'd have made if he whizzed on the tile floor. But since then, the mat was tossed that night and the only place I have a new mat now is in front of the sink.
How I love the diversity of tastes on this board.
My toilet tank is adorned with a box of wipes for my 3 year old. Charming, I know.
My grandmother still has the fuzzy lid cover, and she keeps a folded hand towel on the tank lid, with a bowl of potpourri
See the link below for one where the tank cover is a chimney for Santa!

I have never laughed so hard--I'm still giggling over this topic. And those pictures "allison0704" enclosed--I just loved the butler/waiter and then I saw the bunny--too cute for words. By far my favorite was the snowman with the tissue coming out of his top hat. I just keep wet wipes on the back of my toilet. What a hoot! Thanks for the entertainment; I needed to laugh.
I can assure you, elenkao, all but my first post are tongue in cheek.
Leahcate, did you notice the 3D nose on Mr Semi-Kinky? How funny is that. It would almost be worth it to have in my powder room to hear guest ROTFL when they saw him. LOL ;)
My3dogs, leave it to you to find one on Ebay. lol That brick tank is too much.
I guess I never answered the OP's question; I don't keep anything on top of my toilets. Do you have room to put a small table next to the toilet for items instead? If it had a small drawer, you could store TP.
Oh thanks, Allison!:>/ I was happy working in the kitchen, came in here to take a quick peek and there!... There you are making me go back and look at HIM again. Oh that nose! Profoundly rising up from between his chiseled cheeks. My heart is beating and my index knuckle bruised from my biting it. ...But wait!.... Mr Bunny has very nice ears, too.......
Wow right back at ya! I never dreamed I'd receive such rudeness from an honest question. I guess those of you didn't read my second reply where I said it's ONLY my husband and myself with separate bathrooms. And yes, they are sanitary. I keep Clorox wipes on top of each tank also.
I agree with the poster who said a bare tank looks like a public bathroom. I just want something pretty to sit on there is all. Uh oh, a disgusting pun. lol
Oh,no, don't be hurt by the responses! It isn't rude to have and express a different opinion than someone else on a decorating topic.
And besides, your thread gave us all a fun trip down memory lane.
On the sanitary issue, I don't get wound up about that stuff. But my sister does, and she would tell you that it doesn't matter that only one person uses the bathroom, she would still find it unsanitary.
I have the smallest bathroom known to mankind (I am pretty sure it's not up to code). Because there is no storage whatsoever (pedestal sink, no medicine cabinet, and I can't use nails or screws in the walls because of my lease), I have one of those freestanding over-the-toilet shelf thingies. Horrible, and uglier than sin. I have baskets filled with all of my bathroom items. It's a mess, and an eyesore, and things falling into the toilet is a regular occurance. How's *that* for gross and unsanitary.
LMAO over the toilet decor! I'd love to spend a day in the life of the person whose job it is to come up with those designs.
One of the things that made my tiny bathroom look hideous was having plastic cleaning bottles with their garish labels hanging out all over.
If you wish to keep a Lysol bottle on top of your toilet maybe try putting it in a fancy spray bottle. I like the aluminum ones as they come in not just natural aluminum but some are powder coated in very deep rich colors. There are also some very pretty plastic bottles made too. I have a bottle of that stuff for spraying down the shower tiles in a fancy bottle in the tub area and it looks unobtrusive.
For those Clorox wipes, slide the thing in a aluminum or ceramic pasta container. Get one without lettering or kitchen design. The one below has a snap tight lid so you can rip off the little stay-fresh seal tab on the wipes container and they won't dry out an will be just as handy. The one I use was a tall tin can that a bottle of sherry came in. Around Christmas they sell liquor in gift tins. I spray painted it. It has a lid that just pulls off and pushes on without the extra thumb snap.
If you are looking for a tray that will fit on the back of a toilet get a French bread tray. Get one without a food design of course. Putting items in a tray is decorative and will keep things from sliding off. The first link shows aluminum, wood and ceramic ones. Google to find ones to match decor.
The Fiesta reissue bread tray in amazing colors:
Similar but fancier:
That might frighten small children., Terriks. :D
Glad I gave some of you a good laugh. Last night, when the puppy had me up at 3am, I remembered one of my grandmother's had a Santa cover in the 70s. He held his nose when the lid was open. I thought it was hoot at the time, which was my grandmother's intent. She had a great sense of humor.
Oakleyok, if i have offended you, that was not my intent and I apologize.
I think I'm too OCD to have things on the back of my toilet. Besides the germ factor, I just don't like a lot of stuff. We've always had convenient drawers, cabinets or linen closets close by, so no need to leave things out.
On 3 toilets, I have nothing but on one of them I have three very pale huge blue candles that I bought to use elsewhere and they did not match but they match this bathroom and they were so expensive that I felt I just had to use them. Ugh. $90 for candles, you gotta do something with them. Yes, I know. What a fool I was.
I don't *decorate* my toilet. As I said before, my bathroom is very, very tiny. No storage vanity under the sink. No cabinets. No counter around the sink. No nothing. Cleaning products like the shower spray, that are used everyday or many times a day, are put into better containers since they must be left out in sight. It just looks better. I'm not "decorating the toilet". It's just reducing unsightly clutter in my bathroom.
Valzone said she has the smallest bathroom known to mankind but I think I have the same bathroom. I can't/won't hang shelving over the toilet on the wall because it is vintage tile and I am afraid of cracking them or having them pull out.
I bring my make-up into the bathroom in a Caboodles that I keep in my bedroom. Sometimes I just leave it on the side of the tub because I get lazy.
Dilly Dally, I thought I was the only one with a Caboodles! My husband gave it to me when we were dating (we have been married for 20 years.) I still use that thing every day to cart my makeup around and it is teal and pink, sooo 80s. I also had a peach toilet ensemble (with matching towels and paint) in our first place. However, I don't still have that.
Caboodles equal makeup organizer, similar to shaving kit or train case, somewhere in between. I have 3-4. At one point in time some of the better department stores gave them with makeup purchases, the reason I have more than 1. I have one I keep in my purse, one to travel with and a couple others that I keep for some reason or other, maybe if someone comes by who needs one. ;-)
Amy, there are Caboodles mentioned nostalgically in a lot of blogs if you Google. It is funny that women have them for decades and love them. There was no 'planned obsolescence' with these things. They last forever and can't "wear out". Mine is a neat-o aqua with silver glitter in the plastic. It goes well with my retro bathroom.
I never hardly see them sold any more in stores. I think that once someone has one they never need to replace it.
Just so you'll know, even Ralph Lauren makes a toilet cover set. Look below.
I like a small rug in front of the toilet, though mine aren't contour rugs and they are beige so they blend with the floor tiles. A rug is just more comfortable for the feet then a cold tile floor and very easy to clean by just throwing in the wash.
I just have a small box with wet toilet paper on both my toilet tanks.
Ralph Lauren would never make toilet lid covers.
From the ebay page:
This set is made from the same fabric as Ralph Lauren's Polo Bears bedding. I make these with Elastic for a Snug Fit and also so they are easily removed for laundering. This set is for an Elongated seat (18" x 14").
Ralph Lauren does not make toilet sets. They are home made by the seller. Right on the site it clearly says: This set is made from the same fabric as Ralph Lauren's Polo Bears bedding. I make these with Elastic for a Snug Fit and also so they are easily removed for laundering.
No disrepect intended...........
But a little attention to providing constructive feedback would not hurt.
It seems to be a growing trend to provide rude comments. There really is a difference between being able to articulate an opinion and just plain rude venting.
In previous posts, someone asked about paint or other decorating ideas. Responses included things like rip out the cabinets. It is as if we have no appreciation for the fact that some of us don't have unlimited budgets and must work with what we have.
A little sensitivity is not going to hurt us.
And to the matter at hand, while I don't call it decoration, I have a wicker basket on the back of my toilet. Its pretty and serves a purpose. And how anyone could think that the top of a toilet is unsanitary is just beyond me................
I have a clock radio on the top of the tank now...
for some reason, taking a shower always slows me down and my husband always loses track of time...
how can the top of the toilet be "germier" than the flush knob or faucet lever?? someone's aim must be off :)
Sorry, but no matter how hard I try, I simply cannot take this topic all that seriously.
Go ahead & shoot me, but I'm going down giggling ;-D
& for what it's worth, here's an entertaining, albeit scientifically factual, article on germs & toilets & desktops, oh my....
Here is a link that might be useful: Flushing Out The Truth
I'm glad we work for ourselves, out of our home, and that we close our toilet lids.
Ditto! For years, if I find that someone has left the lid up on toilet (& assuming I know them well enough to address the issue) & if they won't listen to Feng Shui reasoning, I'll say something to the effect of "Did you know that zillions of nasty little critters fly straight up out of the toilet water when you flush & land on things like your toothbrush?" Hopefully a few of them actually heard me!
OK, you can all bash me too, but, I am wondering if susieq isn't playing a prank on us. Surely, anyone who is even the least bit interested in decorating would have their toilet covered with that!
If you are real, susieq, I am sorry, but, someone needs to set you straight! Sorry, but it really hurt me to even look at that. Much less, pink and seafoam green??
At least, now you know, and we don't know you personally, so you can't be too embarrassed.
I assumed the Ralph Lauren comment was a joke, or tongue in cheek.
I think you can go a bit too far in worrying about germs. You can only do so much, we are exposed to germs every day, every where. I don't want to hide myself away out of fear of germs. Actually, exposing yourself to germs usually helps build up your immunity. We don't leave our toothbrushes out, so no worries there. If you do leave them on the vanity, etc. you can keep them brush end down in a small amount of mouthwash (change often!).
I personally do not care for the tank/lid covers, in fact I was brought to task a while back on a blog when I mentioned a toilet lid cover after viewing a quite pretty bathroom re-do. To my eyes, the lid cover stood out like a sore thumb. However, the owner quite liked her lid cover, and as it is her bathroom, she should have what she likes.
Olliesmom, my MIL is a woman of good taste, USUALLY, a woman with plenty of means to decorate a house beautifully and in the most current styles, but I have yet to convince her that it might be time to get rid of the blue and rose! LOL Again, each to their own.
I'm confused about some of your bathroom habits. Why are you peeing on the back of the toilet? (Or whatever else you're doing up there that creats all of those germs). You do know that the tank can be considered emergency water right? And that the stuff in the bowl does not swish back into the tank, nor onto the back.
So that being said...I don't have fuzzy rugs on the toilet. But my mom does and they're cute. And in her bathroom, which can be quite cold, the little rug is welcome :)
I have a train rack above my master toilet. It has towels stacked on it, and we hang our towels from it as well. They actually can touch the back of the toilet if they're the big ones....gad we're probably going to die. Behind those towels :) I have a 13th century document in a frame, (The master is decorated with medieval documents) and a tissue holder. I don't like to leave cleaning items out for the public eye so nothing of that sort. But to be honest...at this very second, there are also three pieces of baseboard travertine trim LOL Waiting for the tile guy.
On my son's toilet we have a little silver claw foot bathtub with a floppy teddy bathing in it. I also have an early 1900's golf print since the room has an antique golf print wall.
In our powder room...we have nothing. The actual tank is a full circle (powder box) type, so everything would roll off the top LOL But if it would hod anything, I'd most likely have a tissue box and a small piece of sculpture or art.
Once again we have witnessed the typical "follow-the-leader" mentality for decor opinions. In the process an attempt has been made to put down an unwitting poster who was brave enough to show pics of her home. I find this degree of thoughtlessness quite unnecessary. It's one of the reasons many of us do not post much or ever show pics of our homes. It seems only certain styles are acceptable on this forum, otherwise one runs the risk of being ridiculed.
While I don't use lid or tank covers I do consider the toilet tank top a valid space to decorate. The bathrooms in our home are cleaned regularly and I know they are not germ-laden.
Just some food for thought: I've often saved pics posted on forums and zoomed in to see things better. It's amazing the dust and cobwebs occasionally seen in otherwise very nice decor in people's kitchens and LR's. They don't look as clean as my bathroom is.
Not all caboodles are created equal. I have one similar to the above but my others are fabric and leather. One has cabbage roses on it from the 80s and has a little hand carry thingie. The leather one is a fold-up sort of thing, similar to a jewelry rollup. Five makeup items? Oh, my #2 DIL only has about that many as she was born with beautiful skin and color in her cheeks and her eyes look like they have been lined and the #3 DIL had some color put in her cheeks, some eyeliner put on and a lipliner, all of this permanently as well as botox every few months to keep things perked up. I only wish but I have about 10 brushes for make up. I am not sure what they are all for but as long as I have them, it makes me feel that I am on my way to becoming beautiful. :-)
Once again we have witnessed the typical "follow-the-leader" mentality for decor opinions.
But if decor does not change, there is little to talk about, is there? And thus no use for this forum. The fact is, this forum generally attracts people interested in decorating who who wish to be aware of current decorating trends. Let's face it, some styles endure and some don't, and fuzzy toilet tank covers fall into the latter category, in the minds of most people.
I knew a woman who had found her style niche in about 1960 - flipped up bouffant hairdo, blue eye shadow, the works. She didn't change her personal style for literally decades - she may still look like that for all I know. She is not likely to be posting on a forum devoted to hairstyle fashions, and if she did, she would get the same reactions as this poster.
I have a six foot three husband and little boys using my bathrooms. I KNOW my toilet tanks get dirty. I don't even like having a tissue box on the tank.
I also have no way of knowing if everyone who uses my toilet closes the lid when they flush. I think it's pretty common knowledge that toilet flushing sprays contaminated droplets of water amazingly far.
Absolutely no toilet decorating at my house. To each his own.
You betcha I'm for real, and everyone who's see's my home loves it! and over the years not one but 2 decorating places have tried to give me a job... but I was not interested! so there ya go!! here's a pic. of entire bathroom! which is part of guest suite! as you can see marble vanity has mauve in it and just redecorated suite with new bedding, drapes etc. with mauve in it so of course I don't vear off into another color...duh? and my master suite is all in seafoam and blue so of course potty changes from seafoam to blue..
and master bathroom potty room & shower around corner up top..
How many local decorators tried to hire ya'll?? mostly it was for our unique window treatment and building a beautiful fake window where there can not be a window, they went nut's over it!! and other original ideas... so chew on that for awhile...ROFLMAO
I rarely post here but I think I should pop in more often based on the hoot I've gotten from this thread!
I don't decorate with anything in the bathroom that can't be easily cleaned or wiped off. I have towels hanging from the wall above the toilet in the guest bath that I wash constantly and all the toilets have bath mats in front of them, also easy to toss in the wash.
The thing is, poop juice is everywhere in your bathroom. That's right, poop juice is sprayed all over your bathroom every time your toilet is flushed after pooping and even shutting the lid doesn't keep it from flying although it does help. Even if you are the only person using the toilet, poop is poop.
Oh, and don't forget, keep your toothbrushes in a drawer!!
You go SusieQ!
How lovely to see you express yourself, rather than the boring vanilla, same old, same old.
poop juice is sprayed all over your bathroom...
Don't forget the huge similarity between the microbes that live in your mouth and your gut, so let's hope no one dares to decorate any room where a person might sneeze!
I have a box of kleenex in a decorative holder--although after reading this thread I am going to move it (:D).
I am happy that susieq07 LOVES her style and that she is follows her heart/head and does what SHE likes. She doesn't give a cr_p what anyone else thinks. We all don't have to live there, only susieq07 and her family. Her interesting and unique decorating style may not be for everyone but it is hers. I like the cafe table and chairs under the window in her cozy guest room--I can see guests relaxing and reading there. I also love her masterbath pillars and how they welcome you into the bath/sink area.
Again, it may not be everyone's style or choices but because susieq07 is happy and comfortable with her style, let's support her in what is good for her.
Dr. Oz was on Oprah the other day talking about this very subject - he also advised not to keep your toothbrushes near the toilet because of the spray. (He didn't refer to it as "poop juice!")
lsandler, I agree with you - I guess it's time to move the kleenex! (I love your paint color on your wall - very pretty!)
Heh heh. I just love these threads about bathroom decorations! As some of you already know, I decorate one of my bathrooms (a 3/4 bath that rarely gets used) in 9 or 10 different ways. And there are different things on the toilet tank for every theme! (All of them covered with millions of germs, I'm sure!) :-)
Laugh all you want! Poke fun! Call me insane! I don't care one bit, and I don't take offense if people think my bathroom themes are goofy (or unsanitary). I do this totally for myself. It makes me (and others) smile!

I'm fairly new here and don't know all the personalities, so I may have missed some subtle humor. But it does seem that most of the messages have been posted "tongue-in-cheek". Let me share my thoughts:
First, I kind of like the flamingo-themed tank set, also the Santa, and that "butler" set cracks me up. But I probably wouldn't buy any of them, even to decorate for a party because - and this is key to my thinking - some men absolutely do not want to use a toilet with a cover on the lid. I said some men, not all. Everybody's different.
I think that in general, those who take the trouble to cover their tanks and lids tend to be fastidious about keeping their bathrooms clean. I don't have research to back up my opinion, and it's just my opinion.
After reading this thread, the next time I went into the bathroom, there was in fact an item on the top of my tank. It was a hairstyling product (in it's original container). OK, I was in a hurry that morning. On a bad day, when the entire bathroom looks like a hurricane has come through, the top of the tank is not the first place I look to tidy up. By policy,the lid is closed for flushing and remains closed so small items can not accidentally fall in. I know people who own dogs that like to drink out of the tank. Doesn't bother them.
All toothbrushes in my house have covers (sometimes little cases), and they rest on the far end of the vanity or enclosed in a cabinet. But honestly, I do not obsess about these things.
I looked at a few bathroom decorating photo galleries (BHG, ivillage, etc.) and in many of the photos there are items on the tank. Tissue boxes seem to be a frequent item. Many have trays. I like those photos showing cut flowers in a vase placed on the tank, but won't it be likely to fall?
I'm sure susieq's guests feel very comfortable in her guest suite, lid cover and all. And who wouldn't be either fascinated or amused by her fake window?
This thread has inspired me to have someone remove and drywall over the wooden magazine rack that the builder built into the wall right next to the toilet -- which I'm sure by now must be covered in "poop spray" (and I thought it as just dust!) The drywallers just happen to be here today and I'm adding it to their list of things to do. I'm totally serious.
Other than that, all I can say is that a toilet, being...er... well, a toilet and associated 100% with things best kept private... is not something to draw attention to or make a focal point of with decorations or cute outfits. It's a necessary tool, to be kept as clear and clean as possible considering what goes on in it. Nothing at all on my toilet (except of course when it is occupied.)
My powder room is large enough to have a little dresser in front of the toilet, and in this I keep reading material, extra TP, cleaning supplies, etc. However, I'm going to be cleaning it better than previously after reading this thread.
Susieq07, do you have different tile in your water closet (where your toilet is located) than in the rest of your master bath? The tile in the first picture of the tank cover/matching rug in the master bath is a greyish colour and the tile in the bigger master bath photo is an oatmeal brownish. Are they two different bathrooms?
lsandler--I have the items for each bathroom theme in separate plastic boxes, which are stored in an attic-type area of my house. I store the rugs separately in huge zip-lock bags.
I like to get something new for each theme every year. This year is the first year I've had a Thanksgiving shower curtain. And in June, I bought a bunch of different rubber duckies, which I'll use for their appropriate themes (check out the vampire ducky for Halloween, and the turkey ducky for Thanksgiving).
Here is a link that might be useful: I just uploaded some new photos
Susieq07, I love both of your bathrooms and your guest bedroom. Your master bath is so spacious!!!
I've been reading this thread debating whether to post or not. I've decided a couple of things - mainly, that I'm glad my toilet is in a potty closet with it's own door, and I'm glad I don't share it with my kids, (even my husband usually uses a different bathroom.)
That being said, the items on my toilet tank are for decorative use only. I bought them because of the color, not because I want to go around smelling like sangria.
Lots of you have probably already seen it, but here goes:
Perhaps when you're done ROTFLYAO, susieq, you could fill us in on what decade exactly all the design companies were clamoring for your services. I can't imagine any decorators in the last 30 years applauding toilet upholstering.
Speaking of toilet upholstery, anyone have a toaster cozy? ;)
I want to use the facilities at your house, why I would even read the seasonal selection of magazines, replete with poop juice as they must be. What a fun and creative person you must be (not to mention a fellow non-germophobe).
And once again, I am amazed at the fear that a few germs arouse in some people, I really don't get worrying about covering your toothbrush, but then again we're a "If it's yellow, it's mellow" household, which I'm sure is not the norm on this board.
If you look closely at Susieq's closeup and then the distance shot of her pink BR, you can see that they are obviously the same room - pink wall on the right, cabinet on the left, and the cute little Hog Wash atop the toilet. The floor tiles are the same; the difference in lighting accounts for the variation in shade.
I love the Hog Wash and would like it for my over-the-top laundry room. But googling it just brings up drawings of pigs in bathtubs. Any suggestions to locate it online?
Daisyadair - I've always admired your pink loo-cubby. Fresh, feminine, perfectly composed and All Yours!
We have lived in this house for 31 years and have never flushed with the lid down and our toothbrushes have been on the vanity about 5 feet away, maybe less, forever.
When is something bad going to happen to us because of this?
You mean to tell me that I'd probably never have been sick all these years if I had closed the seat or had my brushes away??
I don't know about you, but I have way too many other things that are fretting me to worry about this one.
I must admit, tho, I am so entertained by these type of threads...I even look forward to them!! Keeps me laughing, and these days, I need that.
This is the fake window,in my breakfast room, complete with window sill, 2 birds and a nest on sill, balloon valance above with lighting underneath... and this is a window treatment I added in dining room, cut from plywood fabric pleated and attached in colors of my decor...
fake window
window arch:
A note of interest to ya'll maybe?,(or not) have not been to a Dr. since I or hubby were teenagers, we do not even get colds, well maybe one in 10 yrs. or so, and now we are older then many of ya'll, me 60's hubby 70 we don't even get Flu shot's and don't plan to...so guess we're doing something right eh?? have no kids never planned on it, we're happy just the two of us, together 50 yrs. married 45, but if we had a son, he would have been house broken just like all the males in my family, they sit to pee just like they sit to chit unless in a public bathrooom with a urinal, no male pigs in my family!!! wizzing all over the rugs...NO WAY ain't neva gonna happen my mother house broke my Bro. and my Dad as well, you women folk are just putting up with male pigs is all...
Here's our potty room in our motorhome, pic. taken when new before my decorating, taken with old 35mm camera: not good color on old pic.
And after:
which would you rather live with? there is a glass covered print above toilet and a cabinet also, not on pic.
How many people with guns leave their shoes on when they flush the toilet with the fuzzy-covered lid left up?
And then - because of the dusty fake and dried arrangements - sneeze into the contaminated kleenex ?
(just to add another favorite...)
Wow, that's classy susieq. Going after the way people choose to raise their kids. I didn't chime in on your decor. But, as a mother of four boys..I take offense to you calling them pigs, just because they don't sit to pee.
Nothing cuter then watching your little 2 yr old standing at the toilet, with a big grin and a BAD aim, while dunking cheerios in the water :) That's how I POTTY TRAINED (as they're children, not animals )my boys. I also teach them to clean up after themselves, and they've done a GREAT job. I rarely see any mess left behind.
Thanks for the photo of your fake window, SusieQ. I love it.
Men hate fuzzy toilet cover-covers because they prevent the toilet seat from staying up on its own. You (if you're a man) have to HOLD the toilet seat up. And it's impossible to leave the toilet seat up.
So if you think a toilet cover-cover has no charm, please consider its functional value... LOL....
Now I know susieq is a prankster! House break a son?? Sits and pees like a girl?? Sorry, but if I saw a man do that, I'd crack up and run the other way. No male pigs in my family either, but they stand up in all their glory like most men do!
I can't believe all of you are actually buying all of this!
Hire her for a decorator? Maybe 30 years ago!
This is hilarious!
I hate to break it to some of you, but Susieq's been around for awhile. No pranking going on. Maybe she'll post pictures of her blue driveway. It's a sight to see.
I have to agree that calling men and/or boys "pigs" is quite rude. fwiw, I don't feel that bad aiming is what makes the toilet area unsanitary. It's more a mental thing than actual.
I also have to add to an earlier comment by Susieq; having a regular toilet with a tank that is undecorated does not look like public restrooms. All of the public restrooms I go into have tankless commercial toilets.....and I assume the men's restrooms also have urinals. Neither are found in homes I've been inside.
There's always the $75,000 Swarvoski toilet:
Here is a link that might be useful: Over the top?
Susieq, I actually prefer the first picture of your motorhome's bathroom. I think the second picture would look better if you matched the toilet seat cover to the floor mat colors. The purple kind of clashes.
You seem to like color a lot but I notice all your walls are very white, unless they have wallpaper on them. Do you just perfer white walls?
Can we see your blue driveway?
Sure here's my driveway course most of you younguns with attitudes, no need to comment,could not afford it at a cost of 6 Grand, but ask me if I care, it's the hit of our neighborhood of about 3,000 homes, and everything that comes out of these fingers, is the truth because that's the way of me, honest to a fault and iffin ya'll don't like it ya'll can kiss my grits...again ROFLMAO...I see some god awful decorating on here but don't even bother to comment just chalk it up to, lack of experience..
walk at christmas 07
and the teal color on our house you have no idea how many people rang our bell to ask what the color was and where to get it..as for your rug rats ya'll raise em any way ya like,, just keep em outta the shopping carts with their runny noses and chitty diapers, yer making people sick!! cause rug rats are almost always sick... for those of you who are not smart asses, thanks for your real comments..and that's the last post on this subject from me got better things to do like my Christmas decorating..
Allison, nothing in my email. I am not making fun of Susieq if that is what your email was about. She asked us which bathroom picture we liked better and I told her. I also made what I thought was a helpful suggestion on the colors in there.
I asked about the walls because I noticed all her walls were very white and I can tell she likes color.
I really would like to see her blue driveway, I am having a hard time picturing a blue driveway.
susieq07--you mentioned you and hubby never get colds, etc. I am especially interested in your statement as I get sick at least once, maybe twice a year and then a couple of times it goes into pneumonia. Do you take vitamins? Maybe I live too close to a city--what state do you live in?
Susieq - I remember your comments about soonermagic's lovely home:
Help: Photo Shoot at MY house THIS week!
* Posted by susieq07 (My Page) on
Fri, Mar 7, 08 at 8:36
"Cute little house, but the decorating is over kill, and very mishmash, too many unrelated items for my taste, plus tiny items on big walls, personal photo's in the kit??? table lamp in kit.?? must be a small unimportant mag. to want to photo shoot it? course just my view none of it is my taste in home or furnishings...sooo just my opinion, you did ask for opinions after all."
So, don't say you keep your thoughts to yourself.
I believe Susieq posted for a while on the HGTV decorating forum. I recall seeing that window arch treatment and reading about the many offers of employment in the decorating field, which were from people she had hired to do work. And some interesting opinions on the appropriate height of pictures on the walls.
Okay, I was feeling a little bad, but now, after reading what she said about soonermagic's house, which we all know is decorated very well, I don't.
I have to say that in the years I have spent on this forum, I have never said anything about anyone's decorating until now. This is the first "out there" kind of decorating I have ever seen on here, so I thought it was a joke.
I hope, if I ever post pics, that she does say she doesn't like my style!
I hope I haven't scared anyone of posting pics, because I really and truly enjoy them and see some wonderful things.
Well.... I just finished painting a black and white harlequin design on the lid of my toilet tank. I got inspired by my Jim Shore cat and a visit to MacKenzie Child and the kids and I painted the wall above the wainscot bright red and we got jewel colored towels in red, purple orange, etc. It really looks great (it took a while to sell me on the colors but they work). We are putting a checkerboard edging on the dark wood mirror. When it's finished I will send a picture

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Alabama looked lethargic, uninspired, sloppy and downright ordinary against a middling Southeastern Conference team on Saturday.
No. 1 Alabama beats Mississippi State 20-7
And he top-ranked Crimson Tide still found a way to win by nearly two touchdowns.
T.J. Yeldon rushed for 160 yards and A.J. McCarron threw two touchdown passes as Alabama overcame four turnovers to beat Mississippi State 20-7 on Saturday night.
"We typically struggle here and we did again tonight," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "But give Mississippi State credit, they had a good gameplan. They played very physical and we couldn't control the line of scrimmage."
It was the lowest scoring game of the season for Alabama (10-0, 7-0 SEC), which led 10-7 midway through the third quarter before pulling away.
Alabama has seemed invincible over the past two months, winning seven straight games by at least three touchdowns. But that aura wasn't anywhere to be found at Davis Wade Stadium, with Saban's bunch looking curiously mortal after last week's emotional victory over LSU.
"We came out sluggish and we were sluggish to the end." Alabama receiver Kevin Norwood said.
Mississippi State (4-6, 1-5) kept the game far closer than most anticipated, but couldn't take advantage of Alabama's mistakes. Tyler Russell started for the injured Dak Prescott and completed 15 of 24 passes for 144 yards and an interception before leaving with a shoulder injury when the Bulldogs were trying to rally in the fourth quarter.
McCarron tossed two rare interceptions and Yeldon had a costly fumble that led to Mississippi State's only touchdown, but Alabama survived to set up a much-anticipated Iron Bowl with Auburn.
Mississippi State had two chances to get back into the game in the fourth quarter after McCarron's second interception and a fumble by Kenyan Drake gave the Bulldogs field position in Alabama territory.
But without Russell, Mississippi State's offense went nowhere. Freshman Damian Williams didn't connect on any of his five pass attempts — though two of them were good passes that were dropped.
"If you're going to beat that team, you've got to make plays," Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said.
Mullen said Russell felt his throwing shoulder "pop" after trying to make a tackle following his interception late in the third quarter. He played the next series, but struggled to throw and Mullen made the switch.

newly remodeled. Very nice. I left some expensive pj pants. They kept them until I got there to pick them up.
Smell was not pleasant.
The room was new, clean, and roomy. I liked the smooth flooring and the many outlets.
No breakfast. The insulation between the rooms is sketchy. Could hear the neighbors!
water pressure in shower was awesome. rooms were clean an spacious. the breakfast was great
pillows an beds were not comfy. all 4 of us had a rough night sleep.
Price, convenient location, close to mall, next door to Outback Steak House. Helpful staff.
Smell of smoke in non-smoking rooms. Pillows were small, but they gave us extras. Outdated "business center" which was one computer 10+ years old with a non-wifi printer that was not mac compatible. Internet was slow and buggy. Never hit more than 4mbps down.
Booking with Hotels.com
But hotel itself was great
We stayed for several days and asked to not have room service during our stay. They did not bother us one time. It was very quiet during our stay.
No fan in the bathroom. I was not able to get a receipt from the hotel for my stay.
Location, friendly staff, and breakfast
There was garbage underneathe the bed. It was obvious the carpets are not vacuumed
It was a one night stay over, but for the price i would say overall, i would stay again. the area is nice and safe
the lighting in the room was lacking because there were no table lamps and the lights were beemers, but the room was decent overall
The staff was nice
The bed and pillows were fantastic - very comfortable! I liked the Keurig in the room - great to have single cup options when both people may not want the same type of coffee. The room itself was very clean and well lit. The bathroom was a nice size with an okay shower - nothing fancy, but it got hot and had good pressure.
The casino was just off from the elevators, which was very convenient. We enjoyed watching the dog races while having dinner at the Grill at First Turn. It was so nice that the entire casino was non-smoking.
The breakfast that was included was so much more than we expected. They had cereals, bagels, danishes, fruit (though not fresh), scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and also an omelet station where you could get your eggs made to order.
Check-out was at noon and was a breeze since we had pre-paid. Overall we had a very positive experience.
When we first arrived right at 7pm, the front desk seemed short-staffed. There was only one employee who was on a phone call that lasted several minutes. We waited a few minutes for her to finish the call, but ended up going straight to dinner before checking in.
Dinner at The Grill at First Turn was just okay. Our server was fantastic, but the food was just okay for what you paid. If we were to return to Mardi Gras, we would not dine here again.
These walls were paper thin. We requested a room on the fourth (top) floor. While we didn't have a vending or ice machine (2nd and 3rd floors only), we were grateful to not have anyone above us. There were people arguing in the halls all night, and our neighbor was up the entire time yelling at the television about his virtual racing. We were both awakened multiple times throughout the night.
The location is good. The staff was super friendly.
The overall cleanliness of the hotel was not at all what I expected.
Friendly staff. Clean. Lobby was nice.
Noisy bathroom fan. Old furnishings in room. Noise from hall.
Breakfast was filling good selection and well stocked
The sign too it needs to be larger. Hard to find until you are right on top of it
It was clean. The location was ok.
Reasonable cost
Somewhat hidden from main thoroughfare
Comfortable beds, nice indoor pool and hot tub, adequate breakfast.
4 small pillows, not enough variety for breakfast.
After making such a big mistake of giving up the room I was called and told was ready, the lady working the front desk was apologetic.... please thank her for being so helpful and polite.
The fact I didn't get the room I wanted I was upstairs and wanted to be oh the ground... the room was cold and even though it was a smoking room, it smelled of stale smoke.
The bathroom was leaking, but they gave me a new room. Also, you can hear the trains
The staff was wonderful. We arrived late. There was an exceptional person working the bar in the restaurant. She was engaging and made us feel welcome in her space.
This is the nicest little hotel. I had wonderful service. It was amazingly clean. The staff were so fun to interact with. I have not been more wonderfully surprised any place that I have stayed.
Nothing. It was an amazing stay for a great price.
Breakfast, clean room (other than the smell), easy access to highway, friendly staff
I got a smoking room, or what smelled like a smoking room, when I assumed I would be getting a nonsmoking room. The smoke lingered on my pajamas for a few nights afterward.
Location near destination
Pictures on internet were deceptive.
nothing at all
everything was terrible
They let us check in super early at 10am instead of 2pm and did not charge extra.
The bed wasn't the most comfortable.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
