You know your GC have visited when....

Whoops! Saw this in "discussions of the day" and didn't realise thread was an old one.

It's when you open a bottle of wine mid-week when you only normally have a drink on Friday and Saturday!
And you go to relax in the conservatory and find the floor is wall to wall with completed puzzles!

The bidet tap is on! - my DGD loves the bidet and plays endlessly in it; she regards it as having been built just for her as it is at the right height for playing. But we always have to check that the tap is off after she leaves.

Luckygirl perhaps why our bidet is sitting in the attic unconnected to any water

It's the DGS nose-level smudges on the patio doors
Never fails to make me smile, along with toy cars fished out from under the sofa and 'drawings' in my work diary.

nose-level smudges
DIL's sister calls them 'snail trails'

Or putting your bare foot on a hidden piece of Lego lurking in the carpet

I was trying to be a little more delicate than DH's 'Snail Snot' roseq!

Sorry!

Oh, not such indelicacies as Snot in our house - they're 'snail trails'
We're posh here loopylou

We try but....

Every light in the house is on even when sunny outside. I once said " It's like Crystal Palace here" , which my DGDs found very funny and try to reproduce it every time they come Do I mind? Of course not ❤️

the sweetie drawer is empty and theres a note in the( hidden) glace cherries tub saying haha I found them

ditto the lego & my small coffee table is always upside down being used as a boat, also his brothers wallet was found in the toybox?

Not a sweet or pudding left in the house.

Grandad's slippers have been hidden again - how long before he remembers that they usually turn up in the washing machine after dgd has been?

My DGC visited with DD to feed the cats whilst we had couple of days away.

Well of course the patio window had the signature hand prints.
The ginger biscuits were no more
The lawn was covered in sand.
And the cats hadn't managed to munch their way through large heap of crunchies.

We did miss our wee Honey buns!

I know all the story books off by heart (18 month old ). My brain hurts trying to remember the names of War Hammer figures (14 yr old). I have no food left in the fridge. I haven't sat down for hours. I feel tired but very happy.

There is glitter everywhere.....

I was just about to post the same!

When you wonder why a previously full pack of moist toilet wipes has mysteriously depleted along with the dry toilet paper (even when he has had the riot act read to him about it before!). When you just know that if you ask if he wants to watch a film, it is going to be Percy Jackson Lightning Thief - again - and again - and there is an abseiling Action Man hanging off the blind cord in his bedroom!

It's Yogi Bear for our DGCs. Every time, and we love it

How do Lego bits manage to hide so that they keep turning up months after the last visit of DGCs? Every time you hoover or sweep the floor there's another one, and they get under the rug which you know you lifted and swept beneath after they left!

The cushions are all on the floor!

The floor, table, chairs, cushions, and me have glitter all over us. And it stays for months no matter how many times you clean it up!

Can anybody tell me how to remove glitter from rattan furniture (lodged between the weave)
I have red glitter sparkling in the sunshine
Have tried vacuuming, hairdryer, washing and polishing!

They've just left. My iPad is all sticky, the door handles are all sticky my feet stick to the kitchen floor, but they've washed they hands - honest - and there's youngest's soft toy, who he can't sleep without under the chair.
