w@nking in the bath and clogging up the pipes.... i thought your mum gave you a row for that last week sir derek ?

You could try pouring hot water on the outside of the downpipe (outside where the old water runs out), it might dislodge the ice enough for the water to run out slowly, then you could pour a little hot water to follow it, thus melting what's left.
About 30% chance of success though imo.

We now know whats clooging the pipes

its definatly frozen pipes coz the sink is doing the same now ffs, i might try and get the pipes in the microwave on defrost :(

1/Put plug in bath
2/Remove pipe
3/Run under hot water till clear
4/Re-connect pipe
5/Remove plug

i think its the pipes outside that are frozen ..

Just read this, as cooperman says coffee everywhere!

i decided to do my bit of recycling and i filled the kettle with the bath water to make a brew, all was quite tastey until i got a pube in my teeth :(

Can't see how external foul pipes can be frozen? Any plumbers on here to advise?

It's more likely to be a blockage caused by "nasty things" going down the plug-hole and getting lodged.

Would pouring anti-freeze into the bath help? Or is anti freeze a good preventative but a poor rectifier?
