to be absolutley grossed out by suspected 'pooh crumbs' in our bed fom when we had people staying over??

[Lowfat]

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

crikey - dont examine bedsheets at all ! Hard to miss the stains though when pulling off the sheets !

[expatinscotland]

mouse, this is why it is always wise to invest in a mattress protector and cheap sheets - all of which are available in larger Tescos - to use for the ILs.

also in a carpet/upholstery cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the mattress after pestguests leave your home.

and if your DH isn't prepared to say anything to his parents about treating his house like a hotel, the mark of a bad guest, IMO, then he needs to pick up after them after they go, not you.

fuck that.

i was brought up to do my best as a host, but also as a guest.

my folks stay with us a couple of times of year, usually for 3 weeks at a go, and pick up after themselves and us, too!

Oh for the love of God PLEASE let this thread die. Sorry don't mean to be offensive to OP or anyone else but I feel physically sick everytime i see the thread title and it is staying in active convos. Honestly. I have actually retched more than once.

[expatinscotland]

[ruty]

[expatinscotland]

[maidamess]

[ruty]

[expatinscotland]

[ruty]

[Flibbertyjibbet]

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?

[Flibbertyjibbet]

lol ruty.
Now you can't come on mumsnet for 3 days till its gone off your 'threads I'm on'

[electricbarbarella]

Why the hell did I open this thread, i feel sick now.

[ruty]

See?

[mousemole]

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

[Lovesdogsandcats]

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.

[expatinscotland]

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.

Nobody has mentioned the butternut squash

[PinkPussyCat]

[Lovesdogsandcats]

What was she doing with the butternut squash?

[MamaG]
