As the earring has happily been found any ideas on where remote control could be? Usually on arm of the sofa or table between 2 sofas. Looked under the table and had sofas out poked down sides. Any ideas?
We once found out under the cat who was smugly settled on it with her fluffy coat out all round her. Another time we found her engulfing a set of house keys. She obviously wanted us to spend time with her instead of watching TV or going out.
Many years ago both our TV and video remote controls were nowhere to be found. Eventually I heard them, clanking around in the washing machine which was mid-cycle and couldn't be stopped. Youngest child had put them in there and I hadn't noticed when I put the clothes in. They did survive, surprisingly, though they took two weeks to dry out and gradually come back to life!
Could you have had it in your hand when you went to answer the door or your phone? Or dashed into kitchen to remove a pot that was boiling over.
If when you find it, it is accompanied by two keys you have never seen before on a yellow plastic key ring, and a pair of sun-glasses suiting my astigmatismns, could you send them along, please?
As my DH commented that whatever he was watching was rubbish and switched the TV off our youngest DGD promptly took the tv remote and deposited it in the bin. We both laughed and said she was taking after our DD, who used to put her shoes in the bin if they were dirty. So if anything goes missing it’s the first place we look.
Mine is always kept in a drawer beside my chair, because if I don't keep it safe the dog steals it to annoy me. Sometimes he jumps up as if to steal something /anything off the dining table, then when I go to stop him he jumps into my chair and sticks his nose in the slightly open drawer, to steal his real target, the remote!
