Vomit disaster at in laws

18 replies

Trulybloodymassive · 21/09/2024 02:43

Please help! It's 2am and about 30 mins ago I woke up feeling funny. We are staying at my in laws. Opened the door to the bathroom and projectile vomited across the room. I have no idea where the velocity came from but it's everywhere- in the bath, on the floor, all over my pjs, on the towels...

All I've got is loo roll and half a pack of makeup wipes. What should I doooo?

Wake your partner up!!

He's not here it's just me and the kids! He's arriving tomorrow. He'll probably find me on the doorstep after MIL casts me out

Quite possibly. I have been sick 2 more times and now feel 100% normal again so maybe just needed to get it out?

I'm trying my best with the loo roll but I really need some proper cleaning products...

At least you made it to the bathroom! Can you get to the kitchen? If you can, get black bags from there (and a (non alcoholic) drink for yourself to keep hydrated). Start with the sink, then the bath and then work in sections, don’t flush all the toilet paper- you could block the pipes and make a bigger problem and use the bin bags/bath to store the worst of it xxx

@Trulybloodymassive surely you know where the towels are kept?? grab some and get some cleanser and disinfectant from utility room and clean up. then put all towels on to wash! sounds like you ate something which didnt agree with you.

HauntedbyMagpies · 21/09/2024 03:22

Is MIL's bedroom far enough from the bathroom for you to turn the shower on and spray some parts of it down, without her hearing?

NigelHarmansNewWife · 21/09/2024 03:28

Is it imperative you clean up now if it's contained in the bathroom? If there's another loo then I wouldn't at this hour in someone else's home unless you know you can wake them. Change out of your dirty clothes and put a t shirt on if you can. Put a note on the door. Message MIL is she uses a phone and will see the message when she wakes up. Don't go using cleaning products on their towels to try to clean up, that might ruin them.

Needmorelego · 21/09/2024 03:47

I know Mumsnet hates MILs but surely they aren't all that evil that you couldn't wake them up and say what has happened.
Mine would make sure I'm ok, clean me up and tuck me into bed. Then she'd clean up the bathroom.

WiddlinDiddlin · 21/09/2024 03:48

Go and get cleaning stuff from downstairs - bin bag, washing up liquid, cloth.

Wipe up the puke and put the kitchen roll/tissues in the bin bag rather than repeatedly flushing down the loo.

Rinse down the bath, rinse any stuff off towels, put mucky towels in another bag and stash in your room and sort the laundry and proper cleaning in the morning. Washing up liquid won't do any harm to anything.

Copperoliverbear · 21/09/2024 03:48

Go downstairs to the kitchen quietly and get the stuff to clean up and then have a bath and put clean pjs on and put your dirty ones in the wash

cuckooooooo · 21/09/2024 04:09

Get to the kitchen and find cleaning products. It must stink to high heaven

Unexpecteddrivinginstructor · 21/09/2024 04:21

Open the window too if it isn't already open.

She may have hidden the cleaning products away somewhere because she knows you are visiting with the children. Washing up liquid is a good shout and maybe some kitchen roll. I would have a bath/ shower yourself and clean yourself at the same time as the bath.

Unexpecteddrivinginstructor · 21/09/2024 04:21

Text dh and ask him to bring spare pj and cleaning products.

Mmhmmn · 21/09/2024 04:29

Waking them up in the course of cleaning up doesn’t have to be avoided at all costs. If they wanted a quiet night they shouldn’t have food poisoned you!!

Mishmashs · 21/09/2024 06:16

How are you feeling now? Presumably their cleaning products are under the kitchen sink like most people? Def open the bathroom window to air it out.

Trulybloodymassive · 21/09/2024 08:47

Little update! I crept down to the kitchen (avoiding their massive dog) and got some cleaning products and was on my way back upstairs when MIL appeared. Had to come clean and told her I was trying to fix it. She was very kind and told me to just leave it til the morning and then went and found me some clean pjs. Just sorted kids out and now setting about cleaning. They've gone out with their dog so I'm doing it in peace. Feel 100% fine so just a freak thing!

Thanks for the advice- I panicked somewhat!
