Honestly, I feel sick - I want to burn the sheets, the mattress, the bed and bleach the whole room.

IL's were staying they had our bed. We have just gone to change sheets with DH and found little tiny brown balls of ????? in the bottom area of the bed side whe FIL slept.

DH gathered the sheets around them when he saw them to prevent them from spilling and they are currently waiting to go in the machine.

The sheets will be washed entirely on thier own on a hot wash - at the risk of perishing the elastic, I would throw them away but we only have 2 bedding sets and can't really afford to buy a new one at the moment

IL's are not old or infirm, but FIL had a rotten stomach when he was here (or maybe it was normal but not a 'man smell' I am used to) but he stunk out the bathroom whenever he used it and then entire top floor when getting up and going to bed.

This is the first time they have stayed over with us in over 2 years and while I want to encourage interaction with our DC's I am not prepared to have my house made in to a smelly sh*t hole!

This is not a joke post BTW

Winnie the Pooh is the one and only Pooh. I am very irritated by this thread maligning him.

What are your favourite puerile pooisms? I'm quite fond of Poo Stabber. I'm also fond of filthy spoonerisms and quite like Mr Stabber's alter-ego Stu Pabber.

I am hiding this thread. I have never opened it before but I am fed up with the words 'pooh crumbs' appearing on my screen every evening.

especially since it is misspelt (yes I am a prudish pedant)

oh, mouse, we had this pestguest that i finally ejected from our premises.

she just did NOT seem to understand our 'no smoking in the flat' rule, despite our balcony and being able to smoke in the stair.

i was 5 months pregnant or would otherwise have tolerated it.

yes what the hell is pooh? It is POO.

Don't let this thread die, I think its funny.

To keep it going, anyone got any basty but funny stories to share?

When I was nursing, there was one senile old bat who had a penchant for hide-the-poo...as a student nurse, no-one warned me...I was changing her bed one day and COULD NOT believe it when I lifted her pillows to find several turds. Her own.

expat - pestguests = brilliant word.
Cheap sheets from now on. My mother suggested asking them to strip their bed when they leave.
Agree this thread is quite gross. Sorry for my contribution

POO ladies. The word is POO.

Winnie the POOH is a cute character in a book.
POO comes out of peoples bums.

Why do some of you insist on using POOH to describe POO?

Is it the posh version or summat?
