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?

Turn the stove on and leave an empty pan on it

Drop the house key down a drain

Dye your hair in the bathroom. Flick hair liberally and don't put sheets or a towel down. Unless it's white and new of course

Scream there's nothing to eat while ensuring fridge door is open for a minimum of 15 minutes

Wash up three things and then seek praise for the next 24 hours

Ask to borrow £20.00 as your friends are going out and they all get given loads of money and it's not fair

Try an outfit on. Now leave it crumpled near, but not in, the laundry hamper

Eat some toast in bed. Make sure you don't bother with a plate. Leave a cup of milk under the bed. You'll take it down "later"

That should do it

Put microwave on at 2.30 am to reheat pizza and bang around making noise going out the front door When she suddenly wakes and asks WTF say in a GRUFF voice, "Going to drive to friends to take them pizza ". Then quietly come back in at 3.30 am and leave plate with crumbs at front entrance table for her to find in morning.

Turn on every light in the house, bung up the heating and leave all the doors and windows open. Leave your wet towel on the bed.

RickOShay · 20/08/2019 10:36

Grin oh yes. Dyeing hair. If you can manage it, do a bit of flicking only in the rooms with pale carpet in. Don’t bother in the kitchen or bathroom.

InglouriousBasterd · 20/08/2019 10:37

Eat everything from cupboards and put the empty packets back in so she thinks they’re still full...then complain when there are no snacks as she didn’t replace them.

nononever · 20/08/2019 10:40

Lie in bed until gone lunchtime with your phone alarm on constant snooze, important to have volume at max, wear earplugs if necessary.

femidom12 · 20/08/2019 10:40

Dump burning hot hair straighteners on the carpet leaving a lovely reminder of your stay.

gottastopeatingchocolate · 20/08/2019 10:43

Walk into the bathroom when she's having a wee to ask if you can have a snack. Bang on the door persistently if locked.

user1471433754 · 20/08/2019 10:43

Put foundation on. Don't wash hands and smear it all over every door in there!😂

NavyBlueHue · 20/08/2019 10:46

@donutrehomer

Try all your clothes on, leave them on your bedroom floor for over a week. Then put everything in the laundry claiming you have worn them and they need washing.

Literally this is my life. Thank you!!! Grin

NavyBlueHue · 20/08/2019 10:48

Wait until she’s doing anything... mid task yell her name repeatedly from another room until she stops doing whatever she was in the middle of. Then ask her where your clothes are.

Expect her to cook your meals but roll your eyes at every single thing you are given or offered.

TokyoSushi · 20/08/2019 10:49

Let every electronic device that you own run out of battery, now the important part is that you must leave said item with no battery on your bed/on the floor/shoved behind something - do NOT put it on charge.

Throw a MEGA strop a couple of hours later when you return to the item, and surprisingly, it hasn't magically charged itself.

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 20/08/2019 10:49

Leave an empty packet or milk carton in the fridge!

Under NO circumstances venture to the shop to purchase more milk.

LadyRannaldini · 20/08/2019 10:51

coagulating cereal next to the sink

Surely it should be under your bed, along with a collection of dirty mugs, a grow your own penecillan experiment.

Oh thank you.. I've just remembered ..Sharpie deeply meaningful song lyrics in an arty way over the walls while crying or dancing

Let the toaster go on fire

Isitweekendyet · 20/08/2019 10:55

Go into the kitchen to ‘make a snack’ and use every pot and pan and piece of cutlery. Then leave it in the sink/on top of the dishwasher.

TheInebriati · 20/08/2019 10:56

Demand a puppy.

Under the bed is the family size jar of Nutella with no lid and a spoon stuck in 😄

Pull all clean and ironed clothes out of the wardrobe. 'Forget' which ones are clean, and simply stuff the entire load into and around the laundry basket.

Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe · 20/08/2019 10:58

You are my best friend’s mum and I claim my £5.

Wet towels on the bed!

Ah pp has already been to my house Grin

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 20/08/2019 11:03

Open cupboards and drawers in kitchen to prepare yourself a little snack. Leave cupboard doors and drawers wide open.
