I hat that tissue thing. I'm sure I thoroughly check pockets but one of the little blighters sometimes sneaks in. It's amazing how much mess one tissue can make.

I always button up the duvet cover but still invariably find the pillow cases inside!

Oh. You're supposed to button it up?

Why didn't I think of that hmm

And the same fairy who makes sure all smaller items jump into the duvet cover on the odd occasion that I forget to button it up as I put it in!

The teaspoon fairy is a nuisance too.
No matter how many times you swish your hands around the sink, let the water out, and there is always a teaspoon left.
She takes some for souvenirs too!

Is that the same fairy that turns all my pants inside out during a wash? I have tried putting then in the wrong way round and they stay that way!

I washed some jeans and trousers this morning, carefully checking the pockets for errant tissues - found none.

I have spent the last 30 minutes picking bits of tissue off the clean clothes! Whilst doing this I have come up with a theory, the fairy who comes along and takes a single sock also has a bag full of tissues which she leaves in a wash of dark clothes!
