To show you all the unbelievable mess I just made :(

[Rebeccaslicker]

Tried to open the shower screen door to let out DD's bathwater and the whole bloody thing shattered - this is halfway through the clearing up!! I'm daunted.

Tell me about times you've made a huge mess so I can feel better whilst I sweep and poor DH goes through the toilet water with a sieve please!

This happened to us OP when we went away on holiday - we came back and found the shower door completely shattered on the floor - and have NO IDEA how it happened.

i was making Toad in the Hole....sausages in fat in oven in pyrex dish (i know much MUCH better now), dish to top of oven, and batter poured in

As I turned to put down the jug, the dish actually exploded, there was batter dripping down the front of the range, sizzling as it went, exploded pyrex everywhere, everyone came running, I was trying to mop up lava hot fat and batter while not moving my feet so I wouldn't run glass up my feet and prevent anyone else coming in and doing the same

we had beans on toast that night.

Knocked an empty wine bottle off the table onto our tiled floor. Shattered into a zillion pieces fanning right out across the entire floor. Dog was sitting in the opposite corner. Yelled ‘SIT!!’ at him and prayed he’d stay still until I could reach the broom and clear him a safe path through the billions of tiny shards of glass covering my entire kitchen floor.

He was such a good boy. He just sat there till I could get him.

Wow, what a nightmare. Nice loo brush

DH decided to buy a home brew cider kit. The bottles exploded in the garage...... a few days later the bottles in the fridge (that he'd forgotten about) also exploded.

He told me last week he's thinking of giving it another go.

Doing the Cambridge diet and put warm milk into my protein shaker, shook it and the whole concoction exploded over 4 desks which were all covered in medical files

This is helping a lot! Luckily DD was already in bed and I have some tiny cuts on my hands and feet but nothing to worry about.

Haha the toilet seat is only up because we are cleaning up the glass! No way would it flush; i THINK what happened was that the screen fell out of its seal and smashed when it hit the toilet. The toilet was absolutely full of glass.

Got the dyson on it now. Might have to sell the bathroom if those who liked it want it - half price because there's a risk of ending up with a diamond arse if you sit on the toilet

Shelf collapsed in downstairs loo where we had put a pot of paint to go to the shed.
Covered floor, dryer and the dog who immediately covered the patio in paint paw prints.

Oh and I'll defend my loo brush to the death 😂

The first time DH made a Christmas cake, it nearly killed him. Well, not the cake so much as the almond paste. He decided to make that from scratch. The first batch didn't work and he threw it away. Then who knows what he had done to the glass bowl, but as he was making the second batch, melting the ingredients in the bowl over a pot of simmering water, the bowl exploded. Covering him, the hob, the worktop, walls and cupboards in a lovely mix of glass shards and searingly hot eggy, sugary, nutty granules.
It took an hour or two to clean up initially. I think he binned his shirt.

When i was going out with now dh

He had a lodger

Lodger and i played baseball in the kitchen with a baseball bat...and a carton of milk

He was not happy

In hindsight i dont know why i thought it wouldnt explode

How about an exploding light bulb when I was in the bath - have you ever tried to extricate your stark naked dripping self from a bathroom in complete darkness with shards of glass everywhere, including your hair, the towels and the floor?

Earlier this evening I decanted 1k bag of oats into tub to put back on top of kitchen cupboards only for it avalanche and hit me on the head and spill flaky oats everywhere.

DH said it looked like he walked into a snowglobe.

Who left the seat up? Tut tut

I made a chilli in the slow cooker a few months ago but put too much chocolate in it. I tried to correct it by grinding up some more spices and salt flakes but when I was tipping it in I dropped the mortar into the pot. There was chilli everywhere and it took ages to clean up. I still find the odd splodge even now. It tastes nice though, in the end.

*tasted nice

When I was on teaching practice many moons ago, one of the children knocked over a pot of powder paint. Guess who went and got a wet cloth to try and wipe it up? Of course it turned all the dry powder into a bright red, painty mess all over the floor! I never made that mistake again!

I accidentally got a pull up in with my load of washing yesterday. Soggy sticky crystals over everything.

As a student I boiled a can of condensed milk in a pan with an ill fitting lid to try and make toffee.

I left it (why would I do that?) watched the film Cocktail (Tom Cruise in his total prime) and the can boiled dry (for a good hour I think ) as all the water evaporated until it absolutely EXPLODED and honesty sounded like a bomb had gone off.

Toffee absolutely everywhere. Shattered glass on the old school student cooker, pan lid shot directly up into the ceiling and made a perfect hole (we never found the lid) and generally made total destruction.

Dropped a tub of homemade soup ( in a big recycled ice cream tub ) on the floor as I was putting it in the fridge
Goes a long way
And there’s not much worse than walking in soup soaked skirt , tights and boots

dd2 had one of those bugs where the vomit just doesn't stop. all over herself, coat and buggy - we came home, of course. all over hallway while we tried to clean buggy, baby and coat. all over sofa while we tried to clean hallway. i think eventually we thought to contain her in the tub or something, but not before most of the coats, the buggy, another seat, the sofa and the hall were coated.
ah, it's nice having older dc who can pretty much find the toilet when they're going to vomit, and who vomit less

Dropped a huge glass mixing bowl on our tiled kitchen floor. Words cannot express how many bits of shattered glass exploded in all directions. I had bare feet which were cut by glass flying onto them. Luckily DP came in and cleared it up as I was standing in bare and bloody feet in a sea of glass.

I managed to drop a kettle onto the ceramic glass hob- smashed a hole into the top of it, big shards of glass came away and took
3 weeks to get a new one!

Our shower screen went bang in the middle of the night about 6 months ago. I think our cat may have been having a punch up with her reflection, but we were woken with a bit of a start at 3am.

I also dropped a slow cooker full of baked beans on our tiled kitchen floor. We were having a Halloween party at home and was a bit pissed and served baked spuds and beans, was carrying the beans through to the dining room and dropped them on the tiled floor, just at the dining room doorway. Slow cooker bounced on the dining room carpet then smashed on the tiled kitchen floor - shit loads baked beans every bloody where. Up the walls - had to repaint the kitchen and dining room, the stripped pine door, the dining room carpet was a write off, covered myself and everyone in the dining room and kitchen. I didn't know where to start

I had a suspected urine infection. Doc gave me a tube to pee in' off I trotted to the loo. I managed to drop the bloody lid in the loo as I was peeing in the vial. Washed hands put some loo roll over the top of full pot and walked back up corridor to the consulting room to waiting GP. Knocked, went in, tripped and must have lost stand in lid of container and contents of tube went all over the gps leg. He was fine. I did have a urine infection...there was a tiny bit left to dip in and he said he'd got a change of trousers. Saw him walking home four hours later though with the same pair on. Thank god he's moved away. Did so vy soon after the piss-incident acutally
