Default blocked toilet! Andrex wet wipes - the culprit! How to unblock?

I rent.

I'd be to embarrased to get my landlord to fix it. I had the runs
yesterday and it's not a pretty site

ugh

So do I pay a huge call out fee & get it unblocked?

Of course, whilst the OP was sitting on the toilet, he could have read
the packet of the wipes, which clearly (at least on the packet I have,
it does) that you should not flush down the toilet, but dispose of in
the bin.

House behind me (though their drain runs(sic) through my land) flushed a
load of wipes down their toilet. There were not pleased when I returned
them, along with the bill for my time and damage to my property.

Best DIY/Cheap solution appears to be to get your arm in a bin bag, then
remove the wipes from the toilet, including around the bend, and use
flexible netting wire stuff to poke even further.
