How did I lose my brand new blue bra? How could it have been handed to me by the very nice courier man and then gone without a trace?<\/p>

I was meeting Glenn at the Blues club and doing my usual multi tasking, feeding the pets, lighting the fire, tiding up, getting changed and messaging him to say I was going to be late.<\/p>

\u201cLeaving home soon. Think I\u2019ve lost the plot … well I\u2019ve lost my brand new bra ? Only just arrived today ? Looked everywhere! oh well guess it\u2019ll turn up but it\u2019s a mystery.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cSorry I\u2019m wearing it!\u201dhe responded quickly\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Much as I would like to blame Glenn for the missing bra and see him wearing it, I knew that was impossible. As only I was home when it was delivered.<\/p>

Then followed a list of suggestions from Glenn including \u201cMaybe the Courier man took it back? Maybe Sox our old grumpy dog had it? Maybe the cat has it? Did you throw it away with the packaging …. Maybe you are actually wearing it?\u201d<\/p>

The messages included funny GIFS of dogs and cats wearing bras etc He was obviously enjoying the mystery of the missing bra!<\/p>

\u201cMaybe with the cups ? Or on the rack somewhere?\u201d All very amusing and unhelpful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When eventually I arrived at the Blues club. I got greeted by his friends asking if I\u2019d found my bra yet!!!<\/p>

\u201cThe thing is, it\u2019s not exactly a small item is it !\u201d He chuckled.<\/p>

By this point I am being reminded that I\u2019d already lost my knickers (check out \u201cThose big girl knickers\u201d blog)<\/a> and now my bra and possibly my marbles. I retraced my steps and I remembered unwrapping the parcel, admiring the pretty turquoise lace and leaving it in the kitchen, while I threw away the packaging. I sort of thought I might have put it on the stairs to take up later and I kept wondering if the cat would take it but Glenn assured me that she is very particular about colours and styles and it just wasn\u2019t her thing.<\/p>

Every day for the next week Glenn would greet me with \u201cDid you find your bra yet?\u201d<\/p>

I was having terrible trouble with the vacuum cleaner, it just wouldn\u2019t pick up and I pulled out so much fluff it looked like small creatures had died up there.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ll have to take it back to the shop!\u201d I ranted\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou know they\u2019ll find your bra stuck in there.\u201d Glenn stated<\/p>

Filled with horror and yet curious I begged him to unscrew the nozzle and see if he could find it. He found more fur balls but no bra.<\/p>

It would seem my bra had vanished for good. I gave up and ordered another one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Last weekend I was away and Glenn sent me this random photograph which I puzzled over with my friend.<\/p>

\u201cI guess that solves that question\u201d Glenn cryptically messaged me.<\/p>

\u201cWhat is it? Where is it?\u201d I asked.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m Cleaning the fire place,\u201d He replied.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/span>Suddenly I realised what it was!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cOh Nooooo I burnt my bra !\u201d I squealed.My friend howled with laughter and told me to not wear one anymore and Glenn said a few \u201cstrong words\u201d that I can\u2019t write on here….. but had to agree with.<\/p>

Notes to self? Stop multitasking? Don\u2019t burn new bras. Trust the pets more. Concentrate and take my head out of the clouds. Enjoy yet another funny story about my slightly ditzy ways. Appreciate Glenn\u2019s detective tendencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
