    today's list - all done!

    Purple worn.....

    I have lost one of DD2's bras. It WAS on the line yesterday. I remember taking it off the line and putting it in the basket.

    I left the basket for about 5 mins whilst I put 2 hoodies in my dri buddi in the garage.

    The bra has gone!!!!!!!!!

    Next doors cats were around ( they used to be reliable sock pinchers - they tried to get jeans off the line once!) - but I've asked and nothing has been dragged in!

    So if anyone sees a red (with white spots) La Senza bra flying down the road can they stop it please?

    It's a 36F by the way....

    I'll bet it's hiding down the sleeve of one of the hoodies :D
