OK-who's hidden DGD's dental retainers then?

After having train track braces for what seemed like an eternity, DGD2 had (admittedly) see through retainers to wear at night.
They have now been missing for two weeks despite intensive searching-wherever she's been, the caravan, our house-they are still missing and. . . . Will cost £140 (!) to replace-gulp!
Her Mum DD1 is offering a £20 reward to anyone who finds them!

Is it possible she's disposed of lost them as she doesn't like wearing them ? grin
Did she go to bed wearing them and wake up without them or did she take them out in the morning and couldn't find them that night.

Lol! No she was fine wearing them as far as I know.
She says she can't find them cos they're transparent. . . .so fears she may have thrown them out in a fit of tidying up her room (which, ironically, doesn't happen often!).

Oh dear, reduced pocket money until replacements are paid for then.smile
Perhaps you could buy her a pretty box to put them in as soon as she wakes up in the mornings. Having said that, fingers crossed they turn up.

Do they have a terrier?

DGS1's Jack Russell buried his in the garden.

I was going to ask that Merlot. Our basset ate at least one!

Has she stayed overnight at a friends' house and left it there?

Are they in a bath bag or whatever they are called nowadays?

Under the bed?

In a bathroom cabinet?

In the car?/boot?

Her brother/sister/dad anyone else in the household, took them for a laugh?

Can you tell we went through the missing retainer syndrome too?
