What IS it with these things?
And yes, I am sure people have blogged this to death, but now it is my turn.
There is a knicker, socks and shoes monster in this house. Gawd knows where it lives, I have searched high and low, but it is here.
The boys go through socks and knickers as quickly as a compulsive overeater would go through a Bavarian Cheesecake. I need to have a standing order with the sock and knicker manufacturers. Unfreakin’ believable. I have come to terms with the fact that socks go missing and those that don’t get holes in them real quick !!!
And now to ma widdle WGO. She is a shoe fiend. Her wardrobe has one shoe of every pair. I have looked under beds, in toy boxes, they are nowhere to be found. I think our sock, knicker and shoe monster only has one foot.
Grrrr.
Off to buy shares in a shoe company.
Bahahahaha…
You corrected it. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO going to play “punctuation princess”

Damn! What’d I miss???
As for the sock monster…… he visits here frequently. Possibly on the way back down the hill from you guys. I’ve just had to go by more because we went from having too many to not nearly enough in teh space of just a couple of weeks. How does that happen???

I always lose black things. Socks, tee shirts, bathing suits. They apparently go into the black hole beneath my closet. If it’s shoes you’re missing though…couldn’t you just follow the footprints?

Ahh your sock and knicker monster pops over here now and then, it must be a compulsive over-eater!

I have socks, knickers and shoes almost old enough to own property. My hubby on the other hand needs new socks and jocks about 4 times a year. Careless bugger.

Grin – I’ve never heard of a shoe monster, we only have a sock monster. It must live in the freshly washed bed sheets compartment

Yeah it’s really frustrating, I buy socks and they disappear, sometimes it’s just the one, sometimes it’s whole pairs
grrrrrrr
