Saucepan lid horror

[YesPleaseMary]

I have just done the washing up and noticed that one of the saucepan lid knobs seemed a bit loose. So I tried to tighten it but went the wrong way and the whole knob came off in a dismantlable way, knob then big washer thing and screw and metal disc and underneath it was... well the lid is glass and there was a circle in the middle that was looked like a weasel had spunked on it and then rubbed peas in it [boak]

There are three saucepans in the set, the other two were the same, I am horrified and disgusted with my slovenly saucepan lid habits.

I put in new bathrooms 8 years ago and I have never removed the toilet seat. I clean round it with an old toothbrush and bleach and that’s good enough for me!

If you can’t see it then it does no harm 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Soaking organic or home grown veg in salt water is supposed to make the caterpillars float out.

Well I currently have a dead mouse or more somewhere behind the kitchen unit. At some point I (DH) will have to get down there and clean it all out. Along with all the droppings.

I feel like burning down the house.

I found maggots in a forgotten ham sandwich... 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 I was on the phone to a friend who was most concerned when I screamed and dropped the receiver!!!

Check the microwave ceiling....

I found a washed slug in the dishwasher. It was all pale and ghostly. I didn’t know what to do so I just left the house until DH was due home. When I got back it had GONE

I've almost drunk out of a water bottle with a slug inside- must have climbed up whilst drying in the rack

@captainpantbeard at least it was a clean slug...

Found a mummified mouse under the sofa cushions, our cats are terrible for bringing in live mice and letting them go

I once found maggots in DD's lunchbox (not envy). It was one of those soft-sided washbag-type lunchbags that you can only wipe clean rather than wash, and I think some food must have been stuck in the seam and attracted flies...

I bought her a Tupperware lunchbox that very day, with no hidden nooks and crannies, and it gets properly washed in the dishwasher.

Some of these are really

Maybe the handle was stuck on with weasel spunk originally? Renewable resource.

Just... UGH.

As a teen I found a flattened mouse under a rug at the bottom of a flight of stairs, smushed in to the carpet. I had lifted the rug to vacuum under it, so I just lowered the rug and moved on.

I helped DH clear his student house (all male) at the end of a two year let so he’d get his deposit back. I am still haunted by the memories of what I found in the fridge and under one of the beds.

I shouldn't admit to this. I found maggots in my sofa this summer. I hoovered them up and hoped for the best.

Omg I'm sat here drinking by my sad self and thinking 😱😱😱

Off and checks

Lunch bags
Toilet seat
Capes phew have none 🥲

Found a bottle of gin in the camper van though 😂😂

Happy new year you filthy animals ❤️

I make my morning cuppa using loose leaf tea, in a teapot. It gets a good clean after each use. But today something made me look into the spout. Eeek! Black mould. And slime. It had a good soak in bleach and a scrub with a toothbrush. I’ll be keeping an eye on it from now on!

@plonque - I use a lolly stick....but not as often as I should 🤭😬

Didn't happen to me, but someone I know. Her mum took the crumb tray out of the toaster one day to clean it and there was a little dead mouse squished inside Worst part was, it hadn't been cleaned in months, so who knows how long they were eating dead mouse toast for 😱

@OldAndWornOut

Washing machine drawer, anyone?

Mine clicks out for washing - don’t they all these days?

@mynameiscalypso

DS once threw his lidded water cup in such a way that all the various bits came apart to reveal a large amount of black mouldy disgustingness. I'm telling myself that it has helped to build his immune system (and promptly bought a load of new and eat to clean supply cups)

Have you look at any bath toys with holes, they'll be full of mound too. Especially the squirty kind.
