Check out our imaginative and low-budget solutions to dealing with a cold bathroom this winter.

Now that we’re approaching Christmas I think it is safe to say that we are well and truly coming into the true winter season. I think I first had this realisation the other morning when I was getting ready for work. Climbing out of bed was bad enough without having to walk into my bathroom. I’m pretty confident that it wasn’t me, but somebody left the window open all night and as soon as my bottom touched the toilet seat I nearly jumped through the roof. It might as well have been made out of ice…which got me thinking: imagine if you had a toilet that was actually made out of ice!

So yea, it turns out that it actually exists. Now I’ve seen plenty of people get their tongues stuck to ice sculptures in the movies but what happens when you sit your bare bum cheeks down onto a toilet made of ice? What do you do when you’re finished? Wait for the toilet to melt? It’s not worth thinking about to be honest, but my advice to you is to keep the bathroom window well and truly sealed over-night!

Now if you’re like me and you spend all of your money on silly and extravagant Christmas presents for your friends and family, you won’t have a great deal of money left for keeping the bathroom warm throughout the winter months so I am going to share with you, a couple of cheap and easy ways of keeping the cold out.

The first one is pretty simple really: If you can’t see how miserable, cold, wet and icy it is outside then it doesn’t exist. So if you don’t have blinds you can simply staple a sheet over the window so that you don’t have to sit and watch Jack Frost go about his business while you go about yours.

Another great, low-budget idea is to use your imagination. Sometimes when I am going to the toilet in the winter and I am shivering away on the loo I like to imagine that I am somewhere else; for example a cosy little log chalet in the Alps with under-floor heating and a log fire. If you’re having trouble picturing that then here is an image to help you out.

Commit this to memory or keep it saved on your phone because you may wish to recall it tomorrow morning when you’re getting yourself ready for work. Early mornings are hard enough as it is without having to battle the bitter cold on top of your crippling fatigue.

Or alternatively you can skip this nonsense and check out our winter sales and/or write Father Christmas for a beautiful rug, some warming mood-lighting, heated towel racks and a Jacuzzi. Let’s hope he’s feeling generous this year eh? Ho ho ho!
