When in doubt, look down the front of your knickers!

Yesterday DH helped me stake a clump of plants that should have been dealt with earlier in the summer. I took off my gardening gloves so I could get the string tight around the stakes and tie an appropriate knot.

My elasticated waist trousers didn't have any pockets so as DH was running out of patience trying to keep the stakes in position I lifted up my T shirt and shoved the gloves down the front of my knickers.

They were lightweight 'lady gloves' BTW - not the huge padded things I only wear when dealing with roses!!

Job completed, DH toddled off back to the workshop and I carried on weeding. The only problem was I couldn't find my dratted gloves!!

I looked in the wheelbarrow, gardening bag, shed, boot of the car, dog's bed, greenhouse.....Nope!!

Time for a cuppa and quick look at the tennis so I went indoors, put the kettle on and popped to the loo!

I don't know, I was just wondering whether we can still buy those navy blue knickers with a pocket in the front circa 1950s, presumably for a hankie, but perhaps you could shove your gardening gloves in the pocket.

On the subject of knickers does anyone know where I can buy French knickers ?

Used to stuff my skirt in my knickers when I did a cartwheel or a handstand. Those were the days

My now 21 month old granddaughter started looking down my bra ( E cups! )a while back, we thought it was to do with mummy having stopped breast feeding. But have since realised that she must remember when I stuffed her dummy in my cleavage once! Now we are trying to get her off the dummy and when she is tired she checks her mummy's cleavage out too! I have always used my cleavage as a handy store place for a hanky especially when dress or trousers have no pockets. It's even stored my small camera when we went to Disneyland in Paris!

My thought about G strings was that if I ran out of green garden twine I might just be able to use a G string instead.

No ants in my pants, Bez but possibly a few bats in my belfry. grin

I love the m&s full brief cotton ones with pretty flowers all over. We used to call them....
"Harvest Festival Knickers".....all is safely gathered in.

PHEW MERLOTGRAN....I thought you were going to find an ants nest amongst your bush !!!???

David1968 Sat 09-Jul-16 12:07:06

If I've no pockets, then I will frequently shove the back door keys down my bra when going into the garden. The trouble is accessing them later! And they can feel a bit uncomfy - thus I can't imagine putting anything down my knickers - even though mine are the "Bridget Jones" comfy variety....

Bellanonna Sat 09-Jul-16 11:53:24

Yes, bra, galen but it's a bit too small to hold anything. As in it doesn't have a lot to hold anyway.

JackyB Sat 09-Jul-16 11:27:25

I've been laughing out loud reading this. Can totally identify with it!

Rosina Sat 09-Jul-16 10:42:25

I wear those knickers too - I like the very fine silky ones so that you don't get VPL, which always happens with the bikini type ones if you have any plumpy bits on the hips - and I have plenty!My dear friend always referred to these waist high k nickers as 'three peg jobs' when hanging them out!

A very nice posting...a bit of fun on a raining summer day !

Ana Sat 09-Jul-16 09:41:54

Oh, this is such a horrible thread title! It conjures up a picture of grubby pants with unmentionable stains..grin

Ha ha ha! A friend of mine (no, it wasn't me!) had a similar experience. She fell asleep watching TV. Then, when she awoke, she couldn't find the TV remote. She lifted all the sofa cushions and the magazines on the coffee table, looked under and around the sofa and then, when she straightened up, it fell from its hiding place - under her right boob!

Love that one, Stansgran!

Well whilst dispensing pill Out of the blister pack, one popped out , couldent find it, so another one had to be ordered from pharmacy. As I undressed later, it fell out my bra !!! No clue confused

My Dash trousers have pockets
The trouble is that pockets spoil the slimline look
grin

When they start making women's trousers with decent pockets, we'll be able to stop using our bras and knickers as substitutes. Personally I favour the bra storage area. More room in there.
