Why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why

Has she eaten ALL the biscuits again?

Are the rest of the family never allowed to have a biscuit? Ever?

Do I have to go back to hiding them in the freezer?

Why did I believe her when she said that she would ask before eating the biscuits?

Why why why why why?

Anyone want to buy a teenager? Comes with free diet regime (you'll never eat biscuits again!)

Do you think they have an affliction of some sort that fails to recognise the word empty, and take required action? (unless of course we are referring to the biscuit barrel, when they become extremely vocal about "empty"

empties!!! grr - our fridge is often stocked with empty yoghurt cardboard packaging, empty yoghurt drink bottles, empty ham/chicken packets, empty milk bottles fgs!!!

mum used to hide them in the washing machine, from my bro

Yes, empty milk bottles. Why????

All with requisite 1/4 inch milk in bottom. Once removed 5 of these from our fridge.

WHY do they do it?

It's a mystery but I am glad it's not just us.

Other empties they are fond of are:

Empty bread bags with stale crust at bottom
Empty juice cartons
Empty ice cream bar boxes taking up space in freezer
Empty jam pots
Empty laundry bin (much easier to leave dirty clothes on floor after all)
Empty cd racks (ditto)

The only thing that is ever full is the bin. They never empty that, but happily fill it until it falls over side. Sometimes wonder what would happen if we didn't empty it.......

Dishwasher also always full.

They are very discerning about their empties

And if you buy extras on special offer they have gone off them.... And ds is squeamish about use by dates.

Oh God, sell by dates, don't even go there

I hide things in my casserole dishes - one day I might be pleasantly surprised and find someone else cooking!! I still have 5 Bounty bars in my le Creuset pot so have resigned myself to cooking dinner tomorrow!

Can someone please tell me where I hid the packet of mini twixes I bought 2 weeks ago??It's driving me nuts.

I know ds hasn't found them as there aren't any wrappers on his bedroom carpet.....

wrappers are in his pockets mumblechum - sorry.

I hate the rustly wrappers in trouser pockets after i have washed them.

Yes, was just going to say, that as far as they are concerned washing machine equals bin.

Sick of fishing wet wrappers out of washing machine

Have just got my own back. Some guests gave us a 200g box of strawberry creme chocolates and I have eaten EVERY ONE of them.

HA! (Deranged laugh - will now have to put box in shredder)

Am feeling slightly sick.

Have ROFL at this thread... all that you have mentioned is my life too!!

Most annoying is buying ingredients for a recipe (like today.. creamcheese and digestive bics for a cheesecake for friends coming tomorrow night) You guess it ..
(me shouting) "Who the hell has eaten the biscuits I hid in a very clever place, together with the cream cheese that I hid in the back of the fridge?!!"
Bearing in mind we live miles from shops, I am mightily annoyed. I hide food and can't find it again...
I even go as far as sticking labels on things saying "DDs names - DO NOT EAT"
Does it work? Sod it.... Noooo!!!

It's not just us then!

Why can't they eat just 1 or 2 biscuits - why does it have to be the whole sodding packet?

Sweet wrapper turned my white linen sheets into white with pink patches last week.

And why are they alway always constantly hungry? Do they have worms?

No Mumblechum, leave box empty and lying around to show you have scoffed them all.

That really pisses them off!

It's the way that they think EVERYTHING is rightfully theirs...........

or put them back in the cupboard?? Why?

And does everyone find that they always like the most expensive items of food, and complain if they don't get that?

Have to go away now to calm down and contemplate empty wrappers in cupboard/washingmachine/floor/stuffed down cushions in sofa. None in the bin of course...............

have tonight discovered that she thinks that if she doesn't have a bath for daaaaaaays it is cancelled out if she uses an ENTIRE bottle of mum's special "relax" bubble bath

We need to find out from Carmenere how she tamed her teenager.

OYYYYYY CARMANERE WE NEED YOU

Well... I have resorted to hiding my favourite expensive make up... foundation, powder, mascara... trouble is I can't sodding well find all these things when I REALLY want them!
