A few weeks back the whole family went down (one by one not all at the same time) with a stomach bug. First to suffer was Molly (8) who along with twin brother had been sent up to tidy bedroom in readiness for Christmas. Needless to say they did very little and by bedtime the floor was still covered in an assortment of books, toys and discarded clothes. The plastic bedside cabinet from IKEA was lying on its back also full of junk. I decided it was better tackled the next day and regretted that decision an hour later when Molly (who sleeps in the top bunk) got up to go to the loo and in mid ladder threw up covering all the stuff on the floor and filling the cabinet!! On the plus side there are now a lot fewer toys and books to tidy as they all went into the bin!
The rest of the family confined their upchucking to suitable receptacles or so I thought. Our washing tub disappeared for a week or so but was discovered by Geoff last week in the dustbin. Evidently my eldest son (21 so we don't venture into his room often)thought it was just right for the purpose but didn't see the need to empty it or wash it out! Instead he just covered it with a towel for a week or two and then dumped it in the bin. Of course by this time the carrots had gone green and furry!! Even the bin men doidn't deserve that Christmas box so geoff did get it out, clean it and its back in its rightful place. Son is apparently suffering from post Christmas reflux today but this time if he doesn't clear up after himself he may find his bags packed and left by the bin!
More turkey anyone?
