I can't tell her about the poo, can I? I'm going for water spillage, I think, and an otherwise honest confession.

I'm not laughing. Honestly.

You are going to have to throw yourself on her mercy though I'm afraid.

If you say water she will want to see it and then she'll say it's not too bad and you're not to worry and before you know where you are she'll be taking it home for her grandchildren to lick! Tell her about the poo - dead straight face - 'my daughter has a serious medical condition which renders her bowels unpredictable and last night we had an incident with your parcel. I can't believe it's happened, you don't want to know any more than that now who do I make the cheque out too?'

I'm obviously totally evil as I would give it a good scrub and a polish and hand it over.....

But brown. That's the one.

Or maybe it used to be pink like the one in the link....

The red one is definitely the same but the side pattern is different on the brown one.

Have you got a spare £100 - or what's the excess on your insurance?

My friend has 4 of those stool shaped/coloured bean bags in the playroom.

Her DH thought he was been really helpful and ordered them, unwrapped them and positioned them as a nice surprise for her.

Imagine her reaction when she walked in and saw 4 elephant droppings in her beeyootifully-styled colour-coordinated playroom.
