So *that's* why they were so cheap!

catalyst2The day before yesterday, my partner brought home some sheets that had been knocked down from AUS$145 to $35 for a King fitted set. The only colour they had left was a particularly virulent purple but a bargain's a bargain, isn't it?
After I made the bed yesterday morning but unknown to me, my partner put the new set onto the bed. When I got into bed last night in the dark, I realised that that's what must have happened because:
a) it sounded like I was sleeping between sheets of newspaper it was so noisy and
B) I itched and twitched all night because the sheets were stiffened with something that made the sheets very rough.
When I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, my first reaction was "OMG, I HAVE THE PLAGUE!" because the side of my face was covered in big purple blotches (I think you know where this is going, don't you?). I figured that I wasn't feeling ill or anything so maybe it was just reaction to the new sheets. Then I look down - any place not covered by my pajamas is also purple! It's no reaction, just a bad dye job! I walked back out of the bathroom only to see my partner also looking purple. She also sees me and almost does the "OMG, I HAVE ....." thing but I just shake my head ruefully and point at the sheets.
It didn't come off very much in the shower, btw, so here I am at work looking like a short, fat, hairy blueberry! It is going to be a looooooooooooooooong day!
