to wonder who the pink pants on my sofa belong to? They are not mine.

[YunoWhatYouDidLastSummer]

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.

who gives their knickers to a jumble sale?

People give their pants to jumble sales? Really?

lol what a load of jumble.

Having been up close and personal with the pants in question, I don't think they had ever been worn. A misfire gift maybe?

I don't believe her.

that is completely hilarious

though am that it is normal to donate your knickers to jumble in some parts of the world

she is so lying

Not sure I would be that happy about someone sorting Jumble on my sitting room floor either? IME you get some icky, icky things in bags of people's jumble...

OK - the creative version was better :o

You think pants to jumble is bad? I had a friend bring round an extremely used toothbrush as a hand-me down to DD (7 months at the time). "It's been through the sterilizer." So that's all right then...

Years ago I used to help run a jumble for a uni club I belonged to. We used to get loads of bras and pants donated. Dodgy bloke would come along every year and pay us a fiver for it all. Lovely, eh?

superlative actress :o:o

minus a script and any acting skills.

You should have looked thoroughly confused and said

Oh no they're mine, I put them there 5 minutes ago.
Why would you think they came from your 2 huge bags of jumble sorting ?

Cue 100mph reversing manouevre!

She is so lying, I agree.

Think it through, if she had done jumble sorting, she wouldn't have noticed the pants falling out of pile/bag. So wouldn't have known to spot them & come up with a reason for them straight away. You hadn't asked her about them had you?

Think a 'friend' did come over, she realised at home that her sexy/shagging knickers hadn't made it home and was looking out for them as soon as she came in with her crap pre-prepared story.

Anyway you could probably get about 6 months free babysitting [if you still trust her].

yep im with justkeepswimming her act was very rehearsed by the sounds of it...shes been at it on your sofa.

She's agreed to cover for your husband.

lies lies lies. no-one give knickers to a jumble. i don't think tehy're allowed to sell them for hygiene reasons. agree it sounds very rehearsed. and she didn't think to mentyion to you last night that her friend was over?

so, eitehr her boyfriend was round and they shagged or your DH phoned her and said "please please please pretend tehy are yours, make up some story"

i thought you sniffed them & they were basically new panties...? im sure if they were jumble they'd look a bit ragged??

she is lying....

ha ha suspicious lot we are, my finger of suspicion is on the BBS for sure think DH must be off the hook with one

Where ARE you OP, some countries, especially those on different weeks than the west, have been known to do a roaring trade in 'used' panties.... perhaps your BS has a sideline?

Have you tried arse measuring and matching the knickers to the correct bum?

My sisters maid buys bag of clothes donated to charities in this country. They are sent abroad to the middle east (where she buys them). She washes and dries and irons them and then sells them on to other maids. So there could be truth in the story.

yes arse measuring or even just the threat of it will get to the bootom of it..[realy no pun intended emoticon]

my mum used to sprinkly lying powder on our dinners to get a confession as if you told the truth your tongue would nt go black but if you lied it would.

my mum used to sprinkly lying powder

Does it work on MN posts ?:o

sending cyber sprinkly lying powder

I've given unworn,new pants to charity shops quite often,ones that I didn't wear for some reason,or had been given and didn't like or were the wrong size,so it sounds completely reasonable to me.
