Keep yourself busy!

I decided to clear out my sock drawer to keep myself busy, something I'd been putting off for ages.

I have discovered I have 27 odd socks - how on earth does that happen?!

Think I might have to buy myself some new socks with the money I've saved!!!

I bet when you wrote your rewards list socks weren't on there lol.

I keep all my odd socks and use them round the house. I slip it on like a glove and use it to wipe when I've sprayed glass cleaner, use then when I put loads of foot moisturising lotion on etc. Believe me - this isn't the end of your socks, its a whole new exciting way of life :D

Haha brilliant....I suspect my house is now going to be cleaner than its ever been too! Perhaps I could have different colour socks for different tasks - you are right Karri, a whole new exciting way of life ;-)!!

socks

I find it hard to throw away odd socks cos their mates turn up then. But my kids just wear them that way and now I do too. Its a little bit of that old punk rock spirit in this 53 year olds blameless existence.:p

re: odd socks

The last time I pointed out to my man that he had odd socks on, he looked at me seriously and said..."i've got another pair like this".

A girl at work once came in with a thickish sock on one foot and a trainer sock on the other and genuinely didn't notice!
