going through my bedroom cupboards today I found a multi pack of M+S knickers, unopened. gleaming white and pristine. when I took them out of the packet and put them in my knicker drawer, I realised how grey and grotty my old knickers were. so I binned them. then I got to thinking how wonderful new underwear is. and how it's a pleasure to wear brand new underwear, putting a spring in my step and not caring if I get knocked down by a bus, cos not only is my underwear clean, it is also non saggy and beautifully white.
I just love new knickers. is it just me?

NotTooOld If white bras are too grey I give them a quick steep in black tea to make them more flesh coloured.

When I was seriously ill last year and was rushed in as an emergency , my DM offered to buy me some pants, I was horrified when she bought me white 'granny pants' from ASDA,(I should have asked DD grin) I wore them for a while in the hospital until thankfully DS overcame his squeamishness about handling my clean underwear and brought in the pants that I usually wear (shorts/high leg/bikini definitely NOT white). I still have the 'granny pants' just in case I end up in hospital again
