DH and I left before our DDs (14) were awake yesterday, and returned about 7pm. They got up about 11am and went out at 3ish to meet friends, they were still out when we got home.
The kitchen was a bomb site, breakfast and lunch stuff left out and dirty dishes scattered around. It looked like one of them had tried to cook a pizza with the polystyrene base still on it, as the base was welded to the oven shelf!
The bathroom had wet towels everywhere and open doors, cupboards with stuff hanging out. Shitty skid marks in toilet.
I think one of them had attempted to get a stain out of her clothes using dry vanish crystals and a duster, as this was all over the ironing board and floor.
Despite notes everywhere the alarm wasn't put on when they left, and they didn't double lock the front door. They are very aware that there was a burglary in our road last week and this is high up on our list of worries at the moment.
I'm pissed off, but DH seems much more laid back about it, no-one died, they're just teens etc etc.
