Pranks you have played on other people

My lovely friends are on holiday and have foolishly left me in charge of their house. I am going up there every other day to deal with post and make sure all is well and DD is watering their garden.

I have bought 20 small plastic yellow ducks and hidden them in their house. Not their bedrooms, I haven't been upstairs, but in the office, kitchen, playroom, downstairs bathroom etc. They are in the fridge, dishwasher, cupboards, hidden amongst soft toys.

Completely harmless but still amusing.

I need ideas for the next time someone lets me have their house keys.

Not very exciting, but I once turned all my sister's fridge magnets upside down (she has about 40 on her fridge door). She blamed her DP (he is a jokey sort of person) until I confessed.

Put concentrated washing up liquid in the cistern. The loo will bubble up when it's flushed. I learnt that one as a student.

Someone I know had the entire contents of their room wrapped in newspaper, from individual pens up to the whole bed. It was quite an undertaking.

A flatmate was annoying me so I turned the batteries around on his tv remote (so the '+' and '-' were the wrong way around and remote wouldn't work). He went nutty!

When I was at uni two friends ended up in a long-running prank war and most of us helped out both sides. It culminated in us building a beach on the balcony of one of them, with inflatable pool, palm trees, sand, ice cream etc, followed by the revenge of wrapping everything in the other guy's room in newspaper - that took most of the day!

I would be livid about the newspaper, I hate stuff like that. Wouldn't see the funny side at all.

I borrowed a little tiny gnome from my gran's garden once, she wondered where he'd gone, and I took him on my travels with me and sent her touchnote postcards of him on the Great Wall, up a skyscraper in Shanghai, chilling in Kyoto...she loved that! After she died I found all the postcards in a little box.

I shouted through to my DP that we had a MASSIVE leak in the sink. He rain into find...a leak. I laughed for ages at that weirdo
