When we renovated the house in Gateshead, I found a VERY cool toilet seat at Bunnings. It glowed in the dark! There was a choice of glowing green or glowing blue (guess what I chose! ;D), but in the light, it was white.
When we left, I wasn't weird enough to take the toilet seat with me, but in hindsight I wish I had. Bunnings no longer keeps them and when I searched online tonight, a new seat is approx $100 (here)!
Why a glow in the dark toilet seat, you may ask. Well, I found it particularly handy as I don't switch the lights on when I go to the toilet in the middle of the night. Rather than wake other members of the household, I prefer to sneak in and out. I also find if I switch the light on, I wake myself up more as well!
With a glow in the dark seat, you could see a) where the toilet is; b) if the seat is up or down; and c) if the lid is up or down. These are important pieces of information when you stumble in in the depths of night, only just conscious from a deep sleep with a full to bursting bladder. Many is the time that I have stumbled in and plonked on the loo to find the seat is up and I have landed on the cold porcelain!! OOHHHH!!!
When we had the exhaust fan installed, we got a glowing switch for the fan so that you don't need to turn the light on to find the fan switch, but now I am striving to get my beloved glow in the dark toilet seat!
BTW the above pic is of the toilet with the light off, the glowing red dot in the top right corner is the exhaust fan switch glowing!
