Ok, so does anyone know where I put them?

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.

Most of us have got one, kittylester!

How can you see that jeni?

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

No, river that's where they -should- be, in the boxes with everything else. The thing is, I always keep the cards we received in the previous year and they aren't there either!

They are where I keep mine and forget to look before I buy more ..... in or near the box where you keep the tree decorations, tinsel, etc.

Have a look!

I'd have spotted them there, jeni

nina if I was that organised, I'd know where they are!

glass I though about going on the website and pretending!

jane I can't remember whether I had any left or if it was one of the years when we had to resorted to sending children's ones (with really cute reindeer with stuck on buttons for noses!) to the most highbrow people we know

I'm going with the poltergeist theory but I will try sneaking up on the boxes. Trouble is, we have four so they could quite easily go from one, to the next, while we are looking in the first one! I suppose I could try with 4 people, opening boxes all at once!

I used to have this problem.
Until I hit on the idea of writing on my new calendar, where my January bargains are stored. So looking at December 2012 I can see I have cards sored in the unit in the dining room, but I need to "buy more man paper" i.e. something that's not "cutsie"

You could of course do this on 1st Dec on your phone, ipad etc.

In the cupboard with the glasses!

I've checked under my bed kitty. You didn't leave them there.

I've just been roaming around Leicestershire - and didn't see them anywhere. Bonne chance

Approach the blanket boxes very quietly, thinking hard about how much you would like to find your sunglasses and sun cream, then fling up the lids and see if the Cxxxxxxx cards etc have sneaked back in where they should be.

In the darkest recess of the spare room wardrobe. Have you tried the top of the bookcase, thats where I found mine - heaven only knows how they got there!

Bottom of the airing cupboard? Garage?

Buy new and they will turn up happens to me every year I now have enough C Cards until I fall off the tree

Bottom of the wardrobe, top of the wardrobe, third drawer down of the bureau, cupboard under the stairs, in the chest of drawers in the spare bedroom.......................

Perhaps they're now in Narnia.

Have you looked in the back of the wardrobe?

Perhaps you used them all up last year Kitty?

I actually knew where all my stuff was, but only because it emerged in the Great Unpacking. Where Theseus had put it all now is another matter.

If you go out today and buy some more I can guarantee that you'll find them when you get home .

Haha! I did this last year, kitty. I found my box of xmas cards yesterday!
