I suggested Scotland but that was not well received .that was in June 2015 that I know he had them. I'm cracking up.

Well they weren't with DD's car keys.......

They were down the sofa grin

I've looked in all my handbags but although I found some interesting relics, there were no sunglasses - not even mine.

They are in a safe place of course where he put them after your last holiday.
Have a lovely time sunshine

Could this be the culprit?

Sunglasses and keys seem to be the main things to go missing, also umbrellas,
The thing is, they don't go missing....it's us, we put them in strange places!

I took some make-up remover wipes out of the bathroom cabinet and put them back somewhere else, this is day three and they haven't turned up yet, perhaps they are with the sunglasses grin

With my DHs iPod mini definitely, so when they turn up could you let me know please

Have you tried his wardrobe? Namely jacket or blazer pockets? Even if you don't find the glsses you might get lucky and find an old forgotten fiver or tenner!

Buy a new pair - sure as eggs are eggs you'll find them then!! grin

sherish Tue 03-May-16 10:57:50

I suppose wherever they are it will be your fault for putting/leaving them there!

Stansgran Tue 03-May-16 10:58:53

I'm hoping the rucksack that folds up might be the answer Jalima but he can't find that. I despair. I think they are in Scotland.

I was given a 100 year old photograph of 3 great aunts in their teens, they were my grandfather's sisters. I have mislaid the photo, despite searching high and low. So perhaps the sunglasses are keeping the sisters company somewhere where things go..... It's a mystery!

My specs once turned up in the dishwasher and another time tucked inside a ringbinder. Good luck!

JackyB Tue 03-May-16 11:25:27

I find they are often in the first place you looked. But you only find them the third time you look there.

lizzypopbottle Tue 03-May-16 11:28:02

Try this. It works whether you believe it will or not:

Extend the index and middle fingers of both hands.
Place the finger tips lightly on your forehead about half an inch above your eyebrows.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply through your nose for three slow breaths.
Open your eyes, remove your fingers from your forehead and you will walk straight to the thing you have mislaid. You don't need to think about the thing.

This is a 'brain gym' thing. If I lost anything in the classroom, the children would say, "Do the forehead thing, Mrs L!" It worked every time smile Give it a try!

They are obviously with my DH's reading glasses. They are often lost, sometimes found. When they are found he always says "You can relax now". So kind.

Greyduster Tue 03-May-16 12:02:49

On a recent fishing trip, I could not find my reading glasses (without which I can't see to tie on the flies!) anywhere in my bag, so DH lent me his. At the end of the day when we got back home, I looked in my bag and found not one but two pairs of my reading glasses. I was very pleased until DH said "can I have mine back now?" blush. After emptying out bag, pockets and inside of car, It transpired I had dropped them into one of my rod tubes and thrown it in the boot! But I didn't find out until three days later when I took the rod out to clean it! Couldn't remember doing it! Shall I check my rod tubes again, just in case ?......?

Frannygranny Tue 03-May-16 12:11:09

Maybe they're with the great card I bought for my friend's birthday and which I've just spent the last hour looking for. When you find them could you please return the card to me! ?

Retrolady Tue 03-May-16 12:13:02

In that awkward gap between the car seat and the door?

In amongst the forgotten and unused heap of shopping bags in the boot of your car?

If he's actually in the car, under his bum?

Retrolady Tue 03-May-16 12:16:58

I lost my car keys a few weeks ago, having rushed into the house in urgent need of a comfort break. Searched every pocket in my bag (there are lots), the basket of cleaning stuff in the loo, then with increasing panic: the fridge, etc.... the garden .... gave up and replaced front door locks. Found a man with a computer who could sort car key situation and, at his suggestion, waited a few days in case they turned up.

Two days later, DH "Shall I have another look in your bag?" Me: "Huh, you can if you want to, but they're not there." DH: "Are these the ones?"

I'm pretty sure I've got them, there are 32 (32!) pairs in one of my drawers. Goodness knows where we have accumulated them from, though I have a knack of finding the damn things when we are out walking in the hills. But I'm blowed if I can find my last set of prescription ones.

Newquay Tue 03-May-16 15:07:00

Wonder if they're with the pair of low heeled nude patent shoes I've lost? . . . . .

harrigran Tue 03-May-16 17:03:20

My neighbour has lost car keys and another neighbour lost a mobile phone, at our suggestion they checked toy boxes and guess what ? bottom of toy box.

Stansgran Tue 03-May-16 17:28:49

So he's bought a pair of clip on ones (£15!!!!)as The Lost Ones were prescription . I immediately found the folding rucksack unfolded with very old sandwich wrappings in. But still no glasses so I'm going to try the forehead thing.

Gaggi3 Tue 03-May-16 17:52:02

Just remembered the time DH put shoes out for cleaning in a v. smart hotel in South Africa. They were returned, beautifully cleaned, wrapped in tissue, in a nice box, along with DH's mobile phone, which must have been in one of them.
DD also sent her keys along with a pair of shoes she was returning. The company kindly sent the keys back.
