OK - whose got them!!

gillyknits (do you?), you're being gaslighted!

You've still got them, probably in a pocket!

Right you lot!!

DH has lost the label to his new fruit tree. I haven't got it - honestly! - so where is it?
ps it's not in the recycling bin or anywhere else that he has looked

and apparently saying 'It's just a label, dear' is not the appropriate response

Go back and look again in the first place you looked. That's where they'll be. My address book was in the drawer I first looked in after I'd looked absolutely everywhere else!

One of my dad's oft repeated exhortations was, "Have you looked properly?"

While you're all looking, one of the rubber feet thingies came off one of the legs on my ironing board while it was in the cupboard. I've searched the cupboard thoroughly, giving it a good clear out in the process and it's just not there! Not on the kitchen floor, even in that dusty bit behind the fridge, and the ironing board never goes anywhere else ... unless it's up to something while I'm not looking. If anyone has a spare rubber foot thingy, I'll have it.

PS It's not unreasonable to buy a whole new ironing board because it's three-footed and annoyingly wobbly is it?

I suffer similarly, usually scissors, Sellotape, glasses etc. There's clearly some sort of cosmic conspiracy, as they turn up later, in exactly the same place(s) I looked before and from where they were clearly missing. I thong they have some sort of invisibility capability, which increases in relation to my stress level!

OurKid1 Do you have a dog? My dog would sneak off very quietly with something like that and enjoy eating it in privacy.

I know. It’s the magic fairy who puts the Smarties in the magic pot for my grandchildren. Needed them to open the Smartie packet.

Oops
Ourkid - totally unreasonable, I stick an old Next catalogue under my missing ironing board foot.
When I left home my mother gave me her scissors. Oh the happy memories when the cry would go up “Who’s got the black scissors?” - I’ve still got them in the “useful pot” on my desk and they must be fifty years old if they’re a day. So you see, you’ve nothing to worry about, they’ll turn up eventually!

I keep finding 'thingies' that look as if they may belong to something but have no clue what.
They're all in a drawer somewhere, everyone welcome to come and look to see if it one of their stray 'thingies.'

Anything you lose is always found in the last place that you look.

No - it's usually in the first place you looked but it wasn't there then!

pam Ditto but also pens, and a box of sewing needles when mending things! This rule applies even if you do not move from the spot!!

Lizzypopbottle No I don't have a dog, just a husband but I don't think he would do that ... or maybe he would ...
Overthehills I don't have an old Next Catalogue. There's probably an Argos one somewhere. Will that do?

after cleaning the sofa cover lost current book and remote for tv.tore house apart.book reappearred/remote was hiding under other sofa!?
scissors and tapemeasures always missing, than just appear in clusters.found 3 pairs of scissors yesterday,the tapemeasures just come and go as they please(have 3 dyi type and 4 or 5 seamstress type)they all wander off.
dog has made a few things completely disappear most distrubing was a mylar package,shes leaving glittery bits on her toilet runsthankfully she is getting to adulthood and doing it less.

Buy a new one, the old missing one will be sure to turn up.
Doesn’t matter what it is.
