The toddler pooped in the bath. She really should know better. I thought it would be a disgusting but fairly simple cleanup but I have no marigolds. OH is at work. No one else to ask to watch the DDs so I can go to the shop (quite rural).
I had to leave it to get them both to bed (toddler had to be showered off, baby was already out thank god) so left it to drain. It hasn't drained. I can only assume a nugget has snuck its way down the waste pipe (it's one of those pop up wastes so can't see).
The offending article has now become rather broken up and there's little bits floating everywhere, including, of course, the ubiquitous kernels of sweet corn. It's sort of becoming pop soup. Most of the larger bits are kind of disintegrated on the floor of the bath, but there are some little floaters too.
I don't know whether to sacrifice my sieve to try to get the bits out, but I still have the problem of the blocked waste and water not draining.
Crocodile, hippo, whale, walrus, duck et al are mostly floating upside down in horror. I'm sitting on the chair next to the bath in horror.
Good people of Mumsnet, what to do?? I need your help. This must've happened many times before, there must be a solution.
I'm a woman on the edge, the first person who asks for a photo will get one, so don't ask!
