There is a lipstick going around in the washing machine that isn't mine.

100% certain dh is not having an affair so who does the lipstick belong to and how on earth will I get it out of the washing as the lid has come off (presumably in the machine) and I'm guessing it will be all over it now. Luckily it was a dark wash. I've stopped the washing machine and put it on drain.

CHUFFING HELL. Well, this thread has snapped me right out of my Christmas blues.

Fabulous plot device for a novel OP inspired Grin

Blimey! I found a rock in my knee once that had been there since 1990 and I used to dine out on that story- it frankly pales to nothing in the face of a LIVING SNAIL!!!!Shock

I love this thread

I once found a dead ant in my belly button as a child . But that’s mild in comparison !

I’ve got a bit of a Pyrex bowl in my forehead. #suburban

My grandmother had to have a blue bottle removed from her ear. It got wedged right in there.

You can't casually announce the seashell embedded in your head bombshell and wander off the thread. We need more details. Confused

OP won't the lipstick be all melted? What a mess. Maybe your husband bought it as a Christmas present and left it in his pocket?

Not quite the same, but I'll see your snail and raise you this:

I love the casual mention of a seashell in your head...

we've all forgotten about the lipstick already

FatherChewieLouie · 24/12/2017 19:00

Years and years ago my dad found half a button in his forehead. We still don't know where the other half is. I thought he was the only person that sort of thing happened to!

I did pull a 2cm long piece of twig out of my dog's neck about 10 months after she developed a lump (repeated and expensive vet visits found nothing). Does that count?

gingergenius · 24/12/2017 20:03

But yes....melted lipstick occurred to me too!

Bobbiepin · 24/12/2017 20:07

Ok WTAF?!

The cat whisker that the chiropodist pulled out of my heel seems postively normal in relation to this thread. Seashells and buttons in heads Shock

DotCottonDotCom · 24/12/2017 20:11

Where am I?

HermionesRightHook · 24/12/2017 20:13

When I was about 27 or so I pulled several large stones out of my knee in the bath - I thought I just had lumpy scarf tissue from childhood falls until I had one bath too many and scratched them! Sometimes these things get embedded when you fall and then heal over, and take years and years to grow through.

Betsy86 · 24/12/2017 20:13

Ummmmm what is happening here 😂😂😂

NorksAreMessy · 24/12/2017 20:14

OMG brilliant thread!

Apparently rogue toothbrush filaments are the biggest cause of appendicitis!

Best thread ever

Rubyslippers7780 · 24/12/2017 20:18

Omfg!! Shock

MrsExpo · 24/12/2017 20:19

Yes, but what about this lipstick ...... ?????

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 24/12/2017 20:20

How can you not notice a button embedded in your forehead?
Mind blowing.
Was it caused by sleeping on one of those pillow cases with buttons on?
