OT - Speaking of Underwear
I am in the middle of a big sort out and am onto the clothes stage.
I have just thrown into the charity shop bag a ridiculous amount of "I'm-Sorry-I-Got-Pi$$ed Again-So-I-Bought-You-A-Present" lingerie.
How liberating!!
Most of it still had the labels on because a) I don't take bribes and b) it wasn't really that nice anyway. Oh, and c) I've just remembered that he bought very similar stuff for the codie after me. And for the same reasons.
Hope it goes to a good home. (Anywhere out of my house is a good home, tbh.)
Or maybe I should have a ceremonial bonfire.

Funny thing is, Minx, I'd completely forgotten they were there, packed away in storage under my bed. How Freudian....
And Sarah - in a roundabout way, I did pay for this stuff. *vomits*
So, bonfire it is. Actually, I was just talking to my landlord yesterday and he's started building the November 5th Village Bonfire. I think I might sneak them in the middle.

You've not seen our Bonfire!!I think last year's was about 20ft high and 30ft in diameter.
What do you think the neighbours would say if I burned them in the garden? "What's that burning smell, Mick?"
"Oh, it's just 'Minnie' outside setting fire to her knickers"

You kids!! Back in my day women were _proud_ to burn their underwear. It was part of women's liberation. Women would gather round and sing songs and hold rally's and get on TV next to the bonfires.

Sarah, I've had to edit my reply to that statement. lol.
Mike, most underwear is beautiful and should be worn, not burnt. My generation has reclaimed it from the sisters. My bras are not political statements, I'll have you know.

ive been thinkin recently about this whole topic...of gettin rid of stuff from exes.....-i have been known to give away jewelry or give it back......most people think im nuts for doing that.....but things MEAN something to me...and when a relationship ends,especially if it ends with us not even being able to act like we know each other, i figure what is the point??
a guy i once dated for a few months, had bought me a marcasite ring that i really wanted. and then a harley davidson ring that he supposedly said he had picked up and was savin for someone special. when i ended it with him.....just because we werent compatible....i sent him the harley ring back because i knew it meant something to him. but i did keep-and still wear alot--because i like it the marcasite.
my last one that brought me here....it seems i gave away the household things that were right in my face, and a couple things that arent that are useful i kept. as far as jewelry, i do still wear the earrings because i forget about them!!!!--but one ring he bought me--not very expensive...i threw out the car window one day....and my diamond tennis bracelet.....very very tiny diamonds,mind you......is in my car...broken.....and i am still trying to decide if i want to throw it out the window again (that felt good), throw in the cape fear river (which could feel even better) or pawn for a measely few bucks???????????????care to vote,on that one?
he never bought me lingerie, but that would definately have to go, as it has in the past.

dolphin that my 8th grade b/f gave me from our 8th grade

Letters folded up like triangles by the bag full from others!
Cards, trinkets...
