OK, where is it?

Chewy, by any chance is my sweater in your washing machine?

Well I think he's also run off with my bottle of Bud Light that I'd put in the fridge. It was there yesterday morning, rolling about on the bottom shelf, then when I went to get it in the evening it had gone!

And no, DH wouldn't have nicked it - I mean, come on, it's low alcohol, get real!!! He was happily sitting in his favourite armchair with a bottle of Stella

Read the thread, read the thread, read the thread.....

So anyway, whaddya think has happened to my Bud Light? It's clearly not with Chewy's knife, so... Anyone seen it? Got any ideas?

Hang on folks whilst I go and have another rummage in the washer. ..... Marydoll's chartreuse jumper, Bathsheba's Bud Light, kittylester's tea tray and Doodle's ice cream scoop. .....

Whoever’s taking them will be very small and wearing red velvet shorts belonging to my 2 year old that went missing c.1982 from ours.

I've found the tea tray too! Our cleaner put it away in it's cupboard! Why?

Try the oven!

The Borrowers.... They also love socks

My husband found a large kitchen knife outside a house just 300yds up the road from here. Lying on the pavement!

He came home and called the police (in case...) and obviously didn't touch it. However, apparently they "don't collect knives anymore". ?‍♀️

Our upstairs phone disappeared for months. Nowhere to be found despite several extensive searches by both DH and myself. Only to reappear months later in a fairly obvious place we had both searched more than once.

Funnily enough I was just going to write that I lost the metal plug from the utility room sink, searched everywhere, from dustbin to shed...lo and behold when I went to hang out the washing it fell on to the grass!!!...it was glistening!

If there's a man living in your house check the garage and man sheds!!

i have found this page most amusing as i thought it was only me who lost cutlery ,and for it to turn up in the most amazing places ,(once found my best serving spoon in my bed ),dont ask ,,so thank you for making me feel normal

I was once visiting a friend and when it was time to go home I went to pick up my reading glasses from the window sill where I had left them. They were not there so my friend and I started searching - we couldn't find them anywhere. Then I glanced at the window sill and they were now there. This is a true story and "NO" we hadn't been drinking!!

I lost a remote control belong to ,my bedroom TV i searched everywhere, i usually left it on my bedside table or in a shallow drawer in the bedside table
I looked for several weeks and couldn't find it, looked in my laundry basket,in case i had picked it up with sheets etc for washing, all the drawers and wardrobes. nowhere to be found,
My daughter bought me a new one from Currys eventally.
A few days later i opened my bedside drawer, having opened it several times since the remote disappeared, and there it was, right at the front,
There is no way it could have got stuck underneath anything the drawer is only about 2 inches deep, and i had completely emptied it at one point,very strange,
Also had a large knife disappeared, never to be seen since

Let me know if you find them as mine have walked too!

I have a habit of putting remote controls in my handbag. Then searching everywhere. Sounds like it might be in the bin? Have you found it. Also definitely do the elf thing

I have lost my favourite peeler - think that may have gone out with the vegetable peelings. As others have said retrace your steps. Has it gone into another drawer, in the bread bin, behind the bread bin, Put out with the house waste in a bin. My mum lost her handbag once. I found it in the spare bed, all tucked up. As for socks - that must be another thread. Hope you find it.

I have a mental image of The Borrowers clutching their sides with laughter and pointing at us whilst we scurry round the house in ever more frantic circles, searching for the items they've hidden! The little buggers!

When my son was still a student and was home for the holidays he lost his student railcard more than once. The first time it turned up in the footrest of a recliner chair - fell in then chair folded on it!
The next time we couldn't find it anywhere, then a friend called to say she'd found it inside a book she'd had with her when at my house!
I'm still missing a cereal bowl which disappeared about a year ago when I had a friend's son staying with me for a few weeks. He swore he hadn't broken it (my first thought) and offered to replace it but I knew that would be impossible as it was an old one formerly my mother's! I still expect to find it somewhere strange eventually.

Having just turned- out my bedside cabinet drawer I can recommend looking for lost items in there. Not just misplaced stuff but things I don't remember buying in the first place!

I made a mask, really proud of it, now I cant find it anywhere, and no I’m not wearing it, I think it may have gone out with the rubbish.

Late last year, I couldn't find my ladle. DH and I searched the kitchen, looking carefully in the utensil holder where it should live, the cutlery drawer, the baking drawer. Zilch. Nowhere to be seen. So, we bought a new one. Of course, the old one turned up exactly where it should have been in the utensil jar. That jar had been emptied during our search for it...??

I’ve lost a couple of small sharp paring knives.... thrown out with peelings is all I can guess...... as that’s where I found he third one to ‘go walkabout’... try you dustbin!

I'd lost several pieces of cutlery, peelers etc over a few years from the kitchen drawer. One day I heard my good scissors fall down behind the drawer as I shut it, so removed t he plinth board from under the cupboard. Along with my scissors I found all the missing items plus things I didn't even know I had lost
