You see, the whole problem with being a Secret Blonde, is that every now and again I do something so breathtakinlgy daft that it's really hard to conceal my secret...
So, I went to Best Buddies for a girly night on Tuesday and, seeing as there was going to be a bit of drinking, I stayed overnight. No problem; I took my green over shoulder bag with a toothbrush, comb, pills and clean pair of knickers. Fine. Got dressed Wednesday morning, shoved Tuesday's knickers in side pocket of bag. There are many pockets on this bag.
Came home, hung bag on hooks, forgot to take out toothbrush etc until this morning. Still no problem, but I'd forgotten about the knickers as they'd gone into a different pocket to the toothbrush (because ICKY otherwise). Took bag out with me this morning to go and price up paint, stuffed notepad into random sidepocket.
Got to DIY store, found paint, hoicked out notepad, couldn't find pen. You know what it's like, you rootle around, muttering to yourself in annoyance until you find what you need. Found it all in there; ancient lipbalm, manky handkerchief, antique receipts, all of which got turfed out onto the floor where I was sitting on a level with the paint. Found pen, stuffed everything back into bag, got paint, left.
Got home and discovered to my total horror that, not only did I not have a handkerchief in my bag because it was in my jeans pocket, but I'd left MY USED KNICKERS ON THE FLOOR IN B&Q...
I don't know whether to hide my head in shame or laugh until I'm sick...Jus how efficient IS DNA tracing these days??
