They either belong to the babysitter or my husband.

I wouldn't have thought of them being his, except they appeared near a pile of things he is taking on a work trip tomorrow.

I hope they are not my babysitter's because that would mean she has been removing her knickers, rather than sitting pleasantly in my house looking after my children.

I have left them where they are.

If they disappear when dh leaves at 4am tomorrow, I shall know they are his.

If they disappear when my babysitter (who is also my cleaner) comes to clean tomorrow afternoon, I shall know they are hers.

Why would your husband have pink knickers?

Whoooooooseyfruit · 16/10/2010 21:24

oh my fucking god. which would be the least awful option?

vespasian · 16/10/2010 21:25

Surely your husband having an affair would be worse.

YunoWhatYouDidLastSummer · 16/10/2010 21:25

And another odd thing - they don't appear to be worn. Surely if my babysitter has had gentleman callers and been ripping off her knickers in a frenzy of passion, they would show signs of... erm... being worn? They are line fresh.

New, even.

Quite lacy. Those deep lace with a little thong bit at the bottom sort..

Could you not just ask your dh? Confused

TrillianSlasher · 16/10/2010 21:27

Maybe they are a present.

natandchris10 · 16/10/2010 21:27

your husband is sleeping with your cleaner/babysitter...he's obviously confused and thinks she is his wife...

onepieceoflollipop · 16/10/2010 21:27

surely if your dh was having an affair he would be fairly unlikely to leave a present for his mistress on the sofa?

Perhaps they are a present for you.

tibni · 16/10/2010 21:27

Do they look the right size for the babysitter?

YunoWhatYouDidLastSummer · 16/10/2010 21:27

They definitely weren't there when dh and I left the house to go out to dinner.

They definitely were there by the time we had got back, paid the baby sitter, had a coffee, sorted everything out for his work trip tomorrow, gone to bed, and then I came down for a glass of water.

(different time zone here btw)

OP, do you have a dog or a cat who could have dragged them off the neighbours wshing line?

annh · 16/10/2010 21:27

Your babysitter cleans for you on Sundays?

poorbuthappy · 16/10/2010 21:28

ghost knickers...

discobeaver · 16/10/2010 21:28

Even if he was sleeping with baby sitter/cleaner, surely she would remember to put her knickers back on?

YunoWhatYouDidLastSummer · 16/10/2010 21:28

They could be my babysitter's size, A bit big I would have thought, but they could be.

natandchris10 · 16/10/2010 21:29

she may not remember to put her knickers on..most whores dont..

YunoWhatYouDidLastSummer · 16/10/2010 21:30

No fog. No cat. My husband is DEFINITELY not sleeping with the babysitter. A logistical impossibility. And he was out with me all evening.

If she has been sleeping with someone in my house it is not my husband.

discobeaver · 16/10/2010 21:30

ooh, bit tart, natand chris. A whore would remember, she's a business person, kickers are money.

ClaireyFairy82 · 16/10/2010 21:30

Maybe she had them in a bag and went through her bag on the sofa. Knickers fell out by mistake. She has them in her bag because she was going to wear them later while out on the pull and needs a new pair fo the morning? It's possible - isn't it?

VivaLeBeaver · 16/10/2010 21:30

My vote is for the babysitter She probably put on fresh knickers just before coming to yours as she knew the minute you were gone her bloke was coming over to shag her senseless on your sofa.

YunoWhatYouDidLastSummer · 16/10/2010 21:31

If they were worn I would assume they were hers and she's been shagging someone on the sofa. But they're very fresh. I even sniffed them (sorry Blush but it's not every day a lacy pink thing turns up uninvited in my living room).

OP posts:
FakePlasticTrees · 16/10/2010 21:32

If they haven't been worn, could it be that the babysitter brought spare pants with her and left them by accident?

Could they have fallen out of her bag? Did she have an overnight bag with her? Gym kit with her? New shopping?
