One of Life's Little Mysteries

Morning folks...I'm sat here with my morning cuppa having a bit of a grumph...to start off I've just clocked that this is FRIDAY the 13TH...oh no better stay indoors and under the radar because the day hasn't got off to the best of starts already...all the fault of one of life's little mysteries...something that has baffled us girls from time immemorial.  It's not life threatening nor indeed very important in the big scheme of things....in fact as important things go...it's probably way way down the list of troubles that we face in the world today but that's not to say that it doesn't drive me absolutely bonkers on a regular basis. Crikey if I could come up with a solution to this irritating problem...I'd be stretched out on a Caribbean beach with a cocktail in one hand and my Kindle in the other living the high life....millions in the bank and with the adoration of every woman on the planet ringing in my ears.
I've just unloaded the laundry and you know what I'm now going to say...don't you...
IT'S THAT ODD SOCK SYNDROME
how come I end up with so many lonely socks...their partners having done a bunk during the washing cycle...do I have a washing machine with a fetish for eating socks or have they made a break for freedom during transportation to said machine and this ain't a new phenomena...it's been driving me round the bend for years and I bet I'm not alone.  Ever optimistic I keep a basket with all the odd bods hoping against hope that their footloose partners will return to the fold but they never do...is their a solution...do I keep a log of each pair of socks entering said sock gobbling machine...well to be honest even for someone who is bordering on OCD in the organising "a place for everything and everything in it's place" department..that's a step too far...perhaps imprisoning these wayward little blighters in a separate bag chained with a padlock might work but I have a sneaky feeling that "Houdini" may be their middle names and that this may be one of life's little irritating mysteries that us girls just have to live with...what do you think.
But I have a far more pressing domestic problem...the dreaded ironing mountain...I need something wrinkle free to wear for tomorrow's Paperartsy fun and games at The Papeterie...believe me "The Naked Crafter" is NOT a good look but it's not all doom and gloom...I've got some more cuteness to share...check out this gorgeous bundle of teddy bear furriness coming soon from Craftwork Cards...
but he's got a big problem of his own...this adorable little dude hasn't got a name yet so pop over HERE...vote for your favourite and you could be the lucky winner of a very nice BEARY package from Craftwork Cards.  The draw will take place on 16th April and by now you are probably thinking...crikey she doesn't have go on a bit so I'll love you and leave you with some Friday Sneaky Peeks.


See you all tomorrow over at Penny Black Saturday
