You know that "thing" I posted about? The thing I discovered in the shower and Mr P had to photograph blush?

Well, he had told me (when he last looked, yesterday) that it was looking a bit "weird".

I have to take his word for it, because it's almost impossible for me see it, even with a mirror.

So, this morning in the shower, washing carefully because I didn't want to accidentally "pull" it off, I felt something odd, then all of a sudden, before my eyes, it went wooshing along the bottom of the bath and down the plug! shock

Now just have a very slight bump on the skin where it was.

Hope it doesn't come back!

maddyone my very thought ?
phoenix I may be wrong (if so please forgive me) but your reply to oopsadaisy starts “oh yes I’m often in the habit of taking my knickers off”.........I do believe I’ve read something along those lines in other threads of yours ?

I came on to send you congratulations on the loss on your mysterious bum growth phoenix but OMG SueDonim shockshock I’m horrified and fascinated in equal measures!

Don’t you mean a butt fly ?!!!

SueDonim Mon 27-Apr-20 20:31:46

Butt fly probably is more appropriate! I cannot now remember the exact name but it’s a horrid beast that lays it eggs in damp fabrics such as outdoor furniture and in the seams of washing that’s dried outside.

If you couldn’t dry laundry indoors or tumble dry it, it was recommended that everything was ironed with as hot an iron as possible with special attention paid to the gussets of your underwear! ? ? ?

So, all-in-all, it could have been a lot worse. Strange to say, though, I still miss living there. ?

Oh Doodle I believe you are referring to an unfortunate "thong" incident on a train bound for Paddington, guilty as charged blush

However although I was without underwear, my derriere was covered! (A rather smart trouser suit from Next, as I recall)

SueDonim you are right, it is the bott fly, and we do get them in the U.K! I have had to scrape their eggs off horses legs.

Doodle Mon 27-Apr-20 22:57:49

We get them in the UK ????. Well that’s one good reason for being in lockdown then . Keep away from the bott flies ?

suedonim I might not sleep tonight ?

Too late I just did ?

Luckylegs Mon 27-Apr-20 23:26:41

Please can someone give me a link to the original post? I’m dying to see what it’s all about!!!

SueDonim Mon 27-Apr-20 23:36:34

Stop it! Lol

RIP weird thingy.

Someone told me I had a mark on my head today. I got totally flustered and said it was a blood vessel from walking into a door.

I literally told someone I walked into a door.

Truth is I actually literally was dropped on my head as a baby.

Awkward

Never forget consealer.

Lucklylegs haven't mastered links on the tablet, but the original thread was on the "Health" forum, with the title "So, I pulled my pants down"

HTH.

SueDonim Tue 28-Apr-20 13:12:32

Anything else dropped off today, Phoenix? grin

Doodle Tue 28-Apr-20 14:20:42

I had awful dreams about worms last night thanks to you phoenix I should never have watched those videos. I might be scarred for life ? ?

phoenix Tue 28-Apr-20 18:04:18

Sorry Doodle although to be fair it wasn't actually me that mentioned bot/warble flies in the first place! grin

SueDonim no, so far everything is where it should be, well, up to a point, but of course gravity is having its effect. sad

SueDonim Tue 28-Apr-20 18:09:04

Sorry, Doodle. blushflowers. If it’s any consolation, I dreamt that a dentist took out two of my teeth and replaced each in the opposite socket. confused

Doodle Tue 28-Apr-20 18:57:18

suedonim I think I would prefer that to the botfly ?. So scary ?
