Today I used my downstairs toilet as I often do, and on the floor I found an earring. Well nothing strange in that except it’s not one of mine, I ve never seen it before as far as I know and more than that I rarely have any visitors and certainly no one but me, has been in that loo, and there it was right in the middle of the floor.
I don’t believe in spirits, signs, fairies or such like so what do you think ?

Oooh how very odd! You have told us you work in a charity shop...perhaps it somehow got attached to your clothes? Then fell off? I do like a mystery!

I suppose that s a very vague possibility but I haven’t been there last three days and I ve used the loo plenty of times since then, also I usually change clothes as soon as I get home and to add I work in the children’s area so don’t often come in contact with anything adult !! Next ….😂

Is it possible that this earring has been in a corner of the room secreted away for some time, dropped by a previous visitor some time ago, and finally disturbed by yourself inadvertently and ending up in the middle of the loo?

Have you given anyone a hug recently and their earring has got caught on your clothes and fell off in the loo? 🤷🏻‍♀️

My money is on it getting caught up on your clothing……….was it complete, as in a pierced earring with the backing intact? If not, chances are it’s caught up on you on contact and dropped onto the floor as you entered the loo…….mystery solved.
