Share the stupid things you have done that have made a huge mess.

After spending ages clearing up an entire can of Pepsi Max, which has just spectacularly exploded, spinning 360 degrees around the room squirting pepsi as it span, as newly opened, full can slipped out of my hand, I would love to hear the stupid things you've done that made a huge mess.

The worst thing is , it was the last can left and I was really looking forward to it!

Dropped a kilo jar of Nutella !

Also- put a bottle of Prosecco in the freezer to cool and forgot it. It exploded tiny shards of glass and frozen bubbles everywhere - in a holiday cottage freezer

I thought 2 year old DC was deprived of a sand pit in the middle of winter. I gave him an underbed storage box filled with sand inside the house...

Next time I got a dust sheet to use.

Got the sweet chilli sauce out of the fridge. Proceeded to drop the jar on the floor, cue a sweet chilli sauce explosion. Kitchen ceiling, walls, floor, inside the fridge and all over me. There is still splodges on the ceiling because cleaning it off removed the paint 😂

Went up the chimney with D.B. to find Santa. Found an old coat and pulled it down. Started a pillow fight with feather pillows which split to stuck them on our selves with jam and pretended to be chickens.

This was a few years ago now.

I literally just dropped a jar of dried thyme, glass and thyme everywhere

I once dropped a full jar of beetroot onto a white tiled/grout kitchen floor.
It smashed, and what seemed like gallons of the pink juice went everywhere. It even seeped into the clear sealant that held the kickboards in place.

I wasn't very popular that day....

Dropped a tin of oil based yellow paint. At least it was outside, not inside!

I had to soak it up with some old towels, then scrub with white spirit. The floor never recovered.

Ds2 helped me unpack the shopping by getting all the eggs out of their box and putting them on the kitchen table. Where they rolled off onto the floor. It took me ages to clean up. He also unzipped a bean bag while I was bringing in the shopping. Polystyrene beads everywhere.

I kept the garden paint on the floor by the end of the run in the kitchen, there was a support for the worktop so had no reason to think anything would happen.

Put the washing machine on overnight and in the morning found a very big puddle of paint from a tin that was on it's side having bounced off the top of the pile. Paint had gone across the floor and under the machine, filling the cracks in the floorboards on the way. That was a few years ago and I still find paint on the floor.

Similar thing with a can of gloss in a previous house, someone slammed a door which then caused another one to get caught in the wind, resulting in a huge can of white paint falling on to a blue carpet. It was still there when I sold the house.

And there was the day my friend nailed the creaky floorboards down but forgot to check for water pipes underneath...

We have a vaulted ceiling in the dining room. I was up a scaffolding tower, staining the wooden ceiling, when I knocked a full can of wood stain off the scaffolding plank. It fell about 8 feet to the ground whereupon it sort of... exploded, showering wood stain everywhere. It went half way up the windows and ran down the newly-plastered walls before finally coming to rest in a large puddle. I stood on my tower, mouth open with paintbrush in hand for several seconds before climbing down to deal with the aftermath - which took forever. I then had to go and buy more wood stain because there wasn't a drop left in the can.

I shook what I thought was a fresh, unopened bottle of milk. It wasn't. It went everywhere!

There was the chocolate fudge cake disaster.
I thought it was cooked. It had been in the oven for more than long enough and the skewer came out clean.
It wasn't cooked. I opened the spring clip on the tin and then there was just a warm lake of sticky chocolate fudge goo everywhere.

is anyone else now really reluctant to decorate, cook or supervise children ever again!

Made chicken liver pate in the blender.

Forgot to put the lid on.

Pate Tornado. No one escaped.

I think there may be a market for emergency, extreme cleaners. It could be the next emergency service, you dial 666 and a swat team of cleaners descend on your house to clean up your disasters.

In a fit of domesticity tried to make jam

Phone rang while it was simmering away. It was my Mum, I forgot about the jam.

For an hour

It looked like a jam volcano had erupted in my kitchen

A full bottle of dark blue ink on a new cream carpet.

Ahh milk. There is an awful lot of it in a 4pt bottle.

Thankfully Tesco have a cool machine to suck it all up.

And they replaced it for us.

Let a child with 'form' for this type of thing go to the loo at school as we all went out to play. He plugged the sink and turned the taps on full. There was water pouring through the ceiling in 3 classrooms! (Upstairs toilets). We discovered it as we went in for hometime!

Oh these have reminded me I've done the milk thing too! In the tent in which we were staying for a week

a flat we lived in had full length windows with nets and curtains, my ex husband shook a bottle of brown sauce, yes youve guessed it the lid wasnt on properly que go faster brown stripes the full length of my front room

Managed to drop a powder fire extinguisher at work. It burst open and the whole place looked like it had been snowing. Oops

Stepped back to admire my amazing just-completed gloss work and kicked over an almost-full tin of white gloss paint. All over a new carpet.

2 litres of white spirit and 3 rolls of kitchen towel later, and I can honestly say no one would ever know.

Not made a huge mess but after owning a ceramic glass hob for about 5 years, managed to drop things on it and chip both sides of it within a week. The chips are only small and it still works but twice in a week! Sigh.

I once tried to make chocolate bowls. I thought it would be a good idea to blow up small balloons, then paint the chocolate on then, then deflate them. Great idea in theory - Not. Balloon popped with chocolate splatter everywhere including the ceiling. It took us hours to clean everything and a coat of paint to sort the ceiling.
Second one - I accidentally sprayed spray-glue onto my brand new gloss kitchen cupboards thinking it was polish. I didn't think to check the can because why would DH put spray-glue in with the polish cleaning gear! I cried!! DH managed to get it off eventually.
