Where did I put the smarties?

Yesterday I fancied some chocolate and knew there were a few tubes of smarties in the fridge. I had a handful of smarties and then put them down somewhere before I walked in the lounge, I did this for 2 reasons 1) we don’t like to have chocolate anywhere near the dog due to it being potentially poisonous to dogs and 2) I’m supposed to be being ā€˜good’ as I am trying to lose weight and didn’t want OH to know I’d had some.

They were lovely, so lovely in fact, 2 minutes after entering the lounge I exited again to get some more….but where did I put the tube? I’ve searched everywhere. There’s only so many places to hide chocolate between the kitchen and the lounge. I must of hidden it above waist level to avoid the dog having any chance of finding it.

How the heck could I forget after only 2 minutes where I put that tube. I’ve searched again today…nothing…I am dumbfounded 🧐

Back in the fridge? Or DH has hidden them?

I’ve checked the fridge and fairly certain OH has no idea I had them in the first place. It’s so strange.

At this point I usually give up. They are somewhere totally random and logical thinking doesn't work.

You’re describing my life, bytheway. I was going to suggest the dog found them anyway but he/she would have left a chewed up tube somewhere. I can’t help you but if they turn up, do let us know!

DH found them, ate them and then buried the box at the bottom of the bin. Xx

I'll put my cross on the bookshelf, behind your dogeared copy of The Lord of the Rings.

Is there a prize? grin

They are probably with my reading glasses that I lose 20 times a day!!
