We don't flush in the night unless we have to?! Nothing to do with saving water, just because the noise of flushing may wake the other one up.

If its yellow let it mellow
If its brown flush it down.

That's my thought.

We don't either. But when visiting my son and his fairly new partner I said I needed to go several times in the night and should I leave it so no-one was woken up........she wasn't at all keen so I flush despite the noise.

No we don’t flush in the night unless necessary.

Only flush in the night if necessary or we are staying with one of ours who gets very cross if the toilet isn’t flushed every time. hmm.

........then one morning when the sun rose I went to flush only to discover it was blood red. Panic ensued, which of us was seriously ill?
Calm was restored when OH reminded me that the previous night's culinary triumph was a new recipe I had tried for a roast butternut and beetroot warm salad. It had been so delicious we both had seconds. Never experienced that before!

I usually go to the loo once in the night. Only flush if we have anyone else staying.

I haven't flushed at night unless it's necessary, since having a water meter installed. I only flush the toilet intermittently during the day to, in order to cut down further on our water use.

I flush in the night. This time last year I had a blocked drain and to clear it was a s**t job for me to do?

No I don’t flush at night and it’s a habit now even though I live alone and it wouldn’t disturb anyone.

We also don’t flush during the night, unless necessary.

Particularly if the other partner could still be asleep ...

We don’t either. Unless it’s absolutely essential, if you know what I mean!

We have never flushed the toilet in the middle of the night unless its necessary.
We been trying to save the Worlds resources for a very long time, apart from the noise that flushing and the filling up creates.
Now we live in a bungalow,we still carry on the practice.
Do others not flush in the middle of the night or are we the only ones.
