Thank you for this thread and for keeping it updated with the items and links etc. I found it much easier to follow than the others and enjoyed checking it every day.
It’s been a horrible year and this Christmas has been very bleak for us. Yesterday, while H was face timing his parents I decided to give the coffee scrub a go.
I had some trouble opening it, at first it squirted out a brown liquid all over the sink and toilet lid then a chunky grain must have been blocking it as I had to give it a really good squeeze to get anything out. Once the grain had been dislodged, a chunky gooey brown stream sprayed up the wall above the sink.
Not wanting to waste any, I scooped some off the sink and wall and wiped it across my face. This left more smeared brown mess on the wall which I tried to wipe. At this point, I had both hands covered in the brown sludge and so when H arrived at the bathroom door asking if I was busy, I replied ‘I think I’ve made a bit of a mess of myself’.
Cue me sheepishly opening the door with grainy brown smears across my face, all over my hands and the sink, toilet and walls behind me to see H holding up the phone to his very conservative mother’s shocked face. ‘Oh dear’, she said, ‘I better leave you to it’ and quickly hung up.
Apparently just seconds before he’d been telling her how we’d overindulged with the treats all morning and were both feeling a little tender. So now my MIL thinks I’ve shit myself with such force I had to ask H for help to clean it off my face and the bathroom walls.
We chuckled about it for most of the day yesterday and so, after a year of having nothing much to laugh about, I thought I’d share it with you all.
Happy Christmas
