Ok, so does anyone know where I put them?

Behind the picture in the lounge, or under that large pile of magazines in the corner!

How can you see that jeni?

Most of us have got one, kittylester!

Kitty

Your hubby took the cards to stop you buying stamps and he's using the paper to wrap up all your extremely expensive pressies.

You lucky girl.

Oh, that's ok then *IPOGS

No it's not, I want extremely small presents

Kitty

Well it could be a diamond wrapped in box after box after box!

Or not

Whenever anything disappears in our house, Georgia, my ex cleaning friend, even though we now live about 900 miles away. Well, we all need someone to blame don't we (bless your cotton socks Georgia)...

Probably or not POGS

granjura if she's been here, I hadn't noticed. And she didn't move that pile of magazines!! Mind you, neither did Claire (my cleaning best friend!!)

I went and bought National Trust C-cards at a 20% discount. Shortly after I got them home, I remembered I had - months ago - already bought some Unicef ones in a sale. So I have probably got enough cards to last at least two years - if I can remember where I've put them!

A Safe Place is where you put them! Safe Places are where you put everything you can no longer find! Instead of leaving them on the sideboard or behind the clock on the mantelpiece we put them in a Safe Place. It's not the things we can't find its the safe places.

In the cupboard on the landing in the bag with the blue tack and some Christmas ribbon, that's where I hope mine is

Try the cupboard on the landing under old wrapping paper and blue tack, that's where I hope I've put mine

Do you have 2 stashes Grannyeggs?

No I' just having shaky finger problems notso, andI haven't even started on the gin yet blush

I have a c-mas drawer under the spare bed but I swear there are things in there that I have never seen before....

Kittylester this is the perfect excuse to buy more cards and wrapping paper! What theme shall we go with this year - winter sparkle. pixies and elves, scandinavian red, holly and ivy or silver reindeers? Have fun.

If the link works - you might find Pam Ayres' poem Heaps of Stuff apposite.

On the top shelf of the very deep cupboard in the study.

Brilliant, gm thank you.

harri nearly right! On top of the very high shelf in the study. But, why and who?

Oh what a relief kittylester. So many grannies losing sleep for another night would be just too much.

Tattynan I love themes too it stops me dithering for ages thinking about which card to send to a particular person. They also have to be 'Charity cards'.
Glad you've found yours Kitty.

kitty that is where I keep mine.

Have you tried asking them where they are? It's supposed to help. And you have to name them, aloud. You can swear at them as well if it makes you feel better. I hope they come out soon!

Try thinking of this before you go to sleep, your subconscious may help...

Mind you, I haven't found the box of decorations I had three years ago! I borrowed some, having returned these last year I bought more, and now I STILL don't know where my other ones are!
And they aren't any of these places.....
