Of course I'll drop all the towels I've been using on the floor and leave a half eaten bowl of coagulating cereal next to the sink. Having great fun staying at my daughter's first proper flat and she has a fab sense of humour. What else could I do?

Hide inside her beanbag and when she walks in to the room jump out and spread the tiny polystyrene balls by running through the entire house.

Wipe poop fingers on walls, towels and anything else you can reach.

Wee next to the toilet rather than in it. Drop toilet paper in to that wee.

Line babybel wax cases up along the radiator pipes. For a special effect, first fill them with assorted liquid soaps, slime and shampoo.

Leave slime to go hard on the new carpet, preferably attaching clothing at the same time.

Based on my 14 yr old son while we’ve had these glorious (hmm) 6 week holidays...

Use half a bottle of shower gel for the daily shower that you have (I bribe/cajole/force you to have). Eschew the environmentally friendly option of a bar of soap as ‘it’s disgusting’. Block the shower drawer n with your body hair and soapy gunk and forget what ‘disgusting’ actually means.

Block the toilet with half a loo roll for every shit you take and then plead ignorance as to how to unblock said toilet. Look at rubber gloves and a plunger like they are beneath you. Take an extremely important call at that moment and disappear into bedroom for 45 minutes.

Get up at 1am and drink the orange juice and eat the bagels that were meant for family breakfast. Be too comatose at 10am to even hear the angry complaints of the Chief Housekeeper.

Stuff wrappers and make up down the side of the bed, spill nail varnish on the brand new carpet, rub it in then cover it with a rug for two months and pretend you know nothing about it! Drop wrappers within inches of a bin (& anywhere else) but not in the bun, leave dirty undies all around the bedroom, hoard up to six drink bottles in your room. But then also be the loveliest, funniest, most gorgeous little friend on a day trip to the world’s biggest Primark in Birmingham 🤣🤔

This had made my morning.
Thank goodness my DD is 'mainly' out of the other side of this.
But her bedroom.....!!!!
Just leave every item of clothing you own, all over the bedroom floor.
Ensure you do not hang wet towels up and just leave them crumpled on the floor or bed.
I hope you haven't taken any glasses you've used to the kitchen. Leave them in your bedroom..... forever!
Once bedroom floor is full of clothes, it's time to leave them on the floor of the bathroom.
And yes to leaving packing everywhere - why???

When you make your toast, leave all the crumbs on the worktop and plenty in the butter. Under no circumstance put the knife in the sink or dishwasher. Be sure to leave a big blob of butter on the knife.......

HisBetterHalf · 22/08/2019 10:34

turn the heating on and leave all the windows open

FreezerBird · 22/08/2019 10:39

Get a flapjack or other oat-based snack, crumble it and spread the crumbs liberally over the sofa.

Drink all her booze, especially any unopened craft gin or special wine she may be saving for special occasion

Leave used, snotty tissues everywhere

Run dirty fingers along the walls

Eat greasy fries with loads of ketchup, don’t wipe your hands, then go turn on all the lights in the flat being sure to leave behind great ketchup finger marks

Put your feet up on the furniture and walls - wearing your muddy trainers

Use her car without asking and return with only fumes in the tank

Spill nail polish on her coffee table

Make up, clothes, dirty dishes, fake tan, money all previously covered

SmeagolAteMyWombat · 22/08/2019 21:55

Don’t make or straighten your bed!!! Make sure all the blankets and pillows are on the floor.
Oh and, drag all the blankets and pillows into watch tv. Then steal her blankets and pillows to sleep with because surely you forgot you took them into the other room and it’s soooooo far away!!!

SmeagolAteMyWombat · 22/08/2019 21:57

Make sure she’s asleep and crawl in bed with her. Be an eggbeater, octopus and pay great attention to digging your elbows and knees into her kidneys!!!

OP Are you me?? You are describing my daughter exactly! Although you could secretly buy a hamster and keep it in your room, never clean it out and add more and more sawdust - in the cage and obviously all over the rest of the bedroom (I can’t say bedroom floor as you can’t see the bedroom floor!!)
