Phoenix our elderly cat Missy, has always collected things and left them in our hall as gifts. Her largesse includes men’s odd socks (not my partners), children’s T-shirt’s, a baby grow, crusty looking y fronts and women’s knickers.

Where and how she got these and dragged them over many high garden fences, I do not know.

Her most recent acquisition was a pair of my knickers (I must have dropped them by the washing basket, in our bedroom) and when we returned on New Years Eve, they were artfully displayed in the hall. They were definitely not artfully displayed there, when we went out ...

No, it's not the house, it's The Borrowers.

Every house has a Clock family, Pod, Homily and Arriety.

You will never see them, but they're there.

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"

But as for some other stuff, I'm confused
