Icky things to tread on...

[poppyhattie]

Following on from the whole slug thing (I found a mummified one hiding behind my wardrobe - did it go on an epic journey and then die of starvation?) my cat brought me a (dead) baby frog and left it by the bed so it was the first thing I stepped on when I got up all bleary eyed... It sort of squished between my toes and I hopped round the bedroom screaming "dead frog, dead frog" at the top of my lungs and my DH opened half an eye and said "what do you expect me to do about it? it's dead..." Now sleep with thick socks on just in case...

A snail. In bare feet. They go crunch squelch, and the shell hurts your toes. I don't go in the garden barefoot now.

Half a dead mouse thanks to the cat

I was carrying a tray full of tea into the sittingroom from the hall and trod in something warm and wet... I couldn't have got better foot placement had I tried. Turns out that the dog had decided to reguritate all of the baked bone that she'd been eating in the garden. We don't buy her those anymore.

Sticklebricks and vomit. Separately and together.

Cat sick, when you are still only half awake coming downstairs [boak]

I stood on a live frog once. Soft and slimy then it wriggled. Urgh (and I love frogs).

I then felt really guilty and borrowed a torch to check the youth hostel basement I was in to check it was ok. It was fine.

Dead mouse in my slipper - thanks BumpingCat

A plug aarrgghhhh

Was getting head around reusable nappies after resisting for almost a year as I'd thought they'd be too much hassle. . .

Anyway, as nappies are hybrid, 4 parts have to be separated with the top liner being flushed. Just as I was doing this over the loo, I felt a squelch between my bare toes & realised I'd trodden in a large lump of my DD's moussey poo that must've slipped off the liner & onto the floor unnoticed. And all this to save the planet. . . sigh.

A jellyfish.
My brother made me walk on one bare foot when I was about 6.

An eviscerated mouse.

Freezing cold, still semi runny poo.

Both courtesy of the cat.

cold hairball.

slug

Cat sick or shit. Especially when it's still warm. And squelches between your toes.

Mice, voles, rats, baby rabbits, pigeons, slugs, frogs, sick, poo, regurgitated grass, piles of unidentified entrails and/or other body parts, worms, old socks that don't belong to us (?!?), manky old bones (from dustbins/bin bags ?) ....

.... all this and more have been trodden in over the years, usually by me as I'm first up ....

... the "best" is putting your foot into something still warm, and wet, akin to a real life furry "slipper" because there's a disembowelled rabbit on your landing and you put your foot straight into its guts ....

.... cats are great !!!

Cat sick. Half dead mouse. Dead bird. Children's sick.

My life is so glamourous. I always sleep in socks now!

Cane toad. It went pop.
I'm really scared of them too!

A cockroach. Crunch-squelch.

Cold dog poo

A dead baby bird by my neighbours' bins. I'd already avoided the one on the path. This one was hidden by the gate. Thank goodness I was wearing shoes

Having read this thread I am never, ever, ever getting a cat!!!!!!

Hedgehog , not iccy until you think of all the fleas and bugs that are supposed to be housed inbetween the spikes! No more nipping out of the back door for a crafty nicotine hit without shoes.

poo. it came rolling down the inside of dc's trousers and onto the floor and I trod in it...

warm sick on wooden floor - bare feet. need I say more?

Done the slug / poo / sick / mushy half eaten food....

but have managed to avoid the dessicated salamander which is lying in front of the winerack in the cellar.... dont think DH has noticed it yet - I'm not moving it. Fortunately, I can still get at the vino by a little bit of stretching so all is not lost!

Baby poo, glass - took 2 years for skin to heal properly, cat sick, cat poo, dog poo, bleach, oil, petrol, soapy water and slipped a few times. Cat food.
