Mike, it sounds like you will get over this problem where you live fine. The toilet will soon become your 'safe' toilet 100% of the time. If its the sound you're worried about in the meantime, you can always sit down and 'direct' where the pee falls (ie to the edge of the toilet and not the water). Its probably best not to make a habbit of this as you seem to be getting over it, but its always a fail safe. Its also good you didnt let this problem dictate where you live. I turned down the offer to move into a shared house at uni with some mates and instead stayed in halls with en-suites. Maybe if I had moved in with them I wouldnt still have this problem... who knows! Keep up the good work and let us know how you get on! Mark
