I think I've blocked my toilet, damn quilted toilet paper.
The water goes in, but where usually it goes out of the bottom (this is my detailed knowledge of toilets) it's just stayed in the bowl. If I flush it again, I think it'll overflow. I don't wanna put my hand in there, cos I'm not sure how much of the water is actually water if you catch my drift. What the hell do I do? Get a stick from the garden and try and dislodge any blockage?

This reminds me there was some loser on here a while back who blocked their loo by using newspaper for a few days as none of his flatmates had bought any loo roll. And then he expected his landlord to pay for a plumber to sort it out.
Lift your tshirt over your nose and get tongs from the kitchen :yes:
The stick method didn't work, and it was quite a good stick as well. Can you use drain unblocker in a toilet?
Put some old towels around the base of the toilet and plunge gently.
Or get a cup and scoop the water and pour it into a sink/bathtub to lessen the water so you can deal with it easier.
Edited to add: My_name beat me to it on that idea!
Yuck. I wouldn't want my kitchen tongs covered in poo :yuck:
ususally you need to flush the toliet to get a bit of water up for you to do this but it sounds like you've done it already
ive seen this done plenty of times and works fine if you do it right
Life is good again
Your best bets are either a) wait or b) use a stick or some other item that you don't need any more. I see you went for b).
