    Hex hun, I'd take the towel off and leave it in your OH office so he can deal with it. Perhaps when he's confronted with the disgusting reality of his son's apparent inability to clear the mess up he'll maybe change his tune.


    Hugs to you and non vomitous smell vibes too. xxx

    No room sadly, and I don't see why I should deal with it at all. He needs to learn that there are consequences to his actions :mad::mad::mad:

    I am going to put it back in his bedroom minus the towel. Then I am going to switch his heating on, tip in a pint of milk and add the contents of the litter tray. Should smell nice by Wednesday when he is back - as would the study when it was next used. never, ever p**s me off :cool:.


    Actually this is far more than I could think of...perhaps throw in a used nappy if you can find one....:rotfl:


    or better still just do a dump on his bed....or am I being way out there with that one....:eek::p


    sorry being silly now, just wanted to cheer you up. xx:D

    hex2 : way to go!! at that age he should be more than capable of clearing up some vomit, especially when you'd warned him. Sending you a large G&T.. hope it helps!

    That's what I was about to suggest ;) But, don't add the extra contents. Leave it outside somewhere until the day he is due back then just put it back where you found it. No extras. Nothing. Then he can't say you've added to the mess :D

    now that is a good idea, up in the grrenhouse in a black bag it goes, ready to go back in later. Who'd of thought I'd be grateful for the cold weather!

    Apparently we are at his mothers fri-mon... I may need alcohol or drugs or at least 2 days sleep when we get back!! The bed is way too uncomfy.. last time she got a bit uppity as I ook my own pillows.. I did sleep better though.. I must just be bit of an oddbod lol
    I frequently take my own pillow... and most people could do with sleeping in their own spare beds occasionally to find out exactly how uncomfortable they are. If you want visitors, you should have a decent spare bed.

    but don't forget to leave the litter tray and pint of milk in there while he's away to get the smell going, and remove them when you put the vomit back :D

    Oh so true. It was DS's serious illness and the time I had to think, that sparked off my own little 'mid-life crisis' - I have a list of things I want to do, and will do!

    greenbee - please send sandy my love and hugs, I've been thinking about her and sending comfort vibes on and off all day.
