penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

I have just dropped a pair of my pants off my roof terrace into the garden downstairs.

There is no way to retrieve them without knocking on the door to ask for them. They are, thankfully, fairly respectable ones. What shall I do? If I don't ask, he will know they are mine as my washing line hangs over their garden. Just to be clear I don't hang my pants on the line for all to see they fell out of the wash basket as I was hanging out other garments.

I am leaning towards just "forgetting" all about them.

Downstairs neighbour is obviously an adept knickertwanger. Do you ever do this? I use the cat for target practice. Works best with thongs. Personal best about 11ft.

The natural predator of the pant would presumably be the panther.

Not sure it would take kindly to being lowered over a balcony though, nor would I fancy wresting anything from its jaws....

Next door (elderly) neighbor has, um, Bridget Jones pants, that flew into our back garden off their clothes line. Only problem is that dog had retrieved them and had a few bite marks blush blush. I felt so bad ended up going and buying a few pairs, and tossing back into their back garden.

Unfortunately, I got the wrong size and color hmm

Rather, pardon the expression, anticlimactic, Lavender!

Update, my pants appeared back on my roof terrace last night so he must have chucked them back up. Saw neighbour this morning and he didn't say anything so hopefully this will pass without further comment.

Oooh the bitch wife of an ex landlord of mine once sent a pair of my (clean) pants to me at work!

I would follow Mumtoem's advice, but don't let them see you deliberately dropping other bits of clothing into their garden or it will be 100x more embarrassing.

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
