I have to laugh .
Last week , I noticed what I thought were bra slips - just like the ones that I used to wear .
That's a great idea , I thought . A bra slip smooths out lumpy bits and would be warm now Autumn is beginning .
Apart from buying a couple , which are too big and not being able to find the receipt - I couldn't find them in the shop .
I asked an assistant .
All underwear is upstairs .
I looked upstairs and asked another assistant .
No luck .
Came downstairs and found them .
Gosh , I thought these assistants are so overworked that they don't know their own stock .
One of them spoke to me and I asked her why the bra slips were in with the dresses .
They ARE dresses ,she said .
And we both laughed .
At the till , I shared it with an older employee and we both said that our parents would have called it "going out in your underwear "and we both would have been forbidden to wear one as a dress .
Watching Strictly at the weekend - I only recognised five of the celebrities .
I have to admit to feeling my age - 70 these days .
