OK, where is 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!

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 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

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

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

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 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

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

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!

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.

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". ?‍♀️

The Borrowers.... They also love socks

Try the oven!

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

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.

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. .....

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?

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

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

Found it! It was in the washing machine! The only thing I can think of is that I must have gathered it up with a couple of tea towels and shoved it in the washing machine, which was already half full of laundry waiting to be done. I've no recollection of doing that which is even more worrying and I can't understand why I didn't feel it through the tea towels or stab myself in the hand in the process.

But Robert Welch is safely back in slot 2 where he belongs and I feel like a right plonker. Is this how "getting on a bit" starts?

It's probably there along with all the other things we've lost like the small melamine tray that is just right for 2 mugs of tea!

kitty please will you look on your granite wall for my ice cream scoop. ?

I know this sounds daft but have you checked the knife block again. Is it the bread knife that's missing or another one?
Have a look.
Did you put a tea towel in the wash basket and the knife went in with it?
Try and remember what you did and where you went after you cut the bread.

I know where it will be!! We have a granite wall at the front with thin granite stone sticking up along the top. I have found TWO pairs secateurs there and a trowel.

If it were my bread knife I would suspect DH since I found my dressmaking scissors in the greenhouse.....

Our breadknife frequently disappears and turns up usually wedged tightly beside the cutlery tray. It has a very particular handle which was burned(melted) many years ago so it is quite easy to locate.
