My house appears to make money on the side. Not a lot but when tidying stuff I often find the odd fiver and recently around £200 in euros.

Evening all, and good wishes.
I'm getting really fed up with things going missing here!
A carefully drawn (by an expert) plan for the garden has been missing for years, been through every drawer, cupboard etc to no avail.
Various bits of paperwork are marked awol, just at the moment you need them, but tonight a tub of cocktail sticks/toothpicks have disappeared!
I know I put them upright in the top drawer, because we got fed up with them spreading themselves around in other places (the top and bottom of the container they were in obviously had "issues" and couldn't bear to stay with each other, so they kept parting and scattering their contents)
Some things that go missing are easily understood and accounted for, for example washing up sponges, metal pan scrubbers and rubber gloves will have been taken by Minnie, a cat who was obviously a scullery maid in a former life, and can usually be found scattered around the house "Oh do come in neighbour, kettles on, just ignore the sponge and scourer in the middle of the hall, no, it's not an art installation, nor am I a complete slut, it's the cat"

I bought some wool to make my dd a cardigan. It totally disappeared and I had to re-buy. Then we were to go away for a few days and my Dh discovered it - underneath a suitcase! I mean - Why? How?
If The Borrowers want a new carpet, they are welcome to take the tiny bit that is in the cupboard under the stairs, God knows why it's there, but hey ho! It's all of about a foot square
As for cats, Minnie is (I think) too small and timid to tackle a Borrower, and as Oliver Sprout seems to suffer from a moderate form of CBA, I doubt if he would stir his stumps either!
Please be careful of the cats, it is thought that they may eat Borrowers, that could be why Egglatina disappeared.
