Who’s got my lemon squeezer?

I've lost a pink glass lamp so if anyone has borrowed it to help look for their lost items can I have it back please?

Twomonths ago I bought a digital meat thermometer. Used it once for chicken. Reading this thread, I realised I did not know where it was. Spent next hour hunting in my quite small and neat kitchen.
Finally found it hiding under the shelving system I have for my small worktop oven. At least it made me give my cutlery drawer a really good clean out - always amazes me how much dirt seems to accumulate in that.

Just come home from hospital after some weeks (house deep clean done in my absence and apparently the cleaning company disposed of my kitchen waste bin and food caddy)!; I wouldn't mind, but the waste bin was only a couple of months old and Amazon is out of stock of anything the same size. Bought a replacement, only to find that it's too big for the only available space. Grrrr!!!

I think the borrowers must have been responsible for borrowing a ladle that I always kept in a utensil container next to the hob. I emptied that container, no ladle. I checked through drawers, no ladle. DH did the same, no ladle. So next time I was in town I bought a new one, washed it and then put it in the utensil holder, next to the "lost"one, which was sitting quite happily in its usual spot! ??

Since my husband has retired, I can’t find anything in the kitchen. I’ve labelled cupboards, explained ‘the system’ many times and he just won’t cooperate! If I complain, he threatens to withdraw labour so I keep quiet. I’d hide his precious tv remote to get my own back but he misplaced it so often, I don’t have to.

It’s with my grandmothers apple corer!

I will turn up eventually. However by the time that you need it again, you will have forgotten where you saw it.
Oh the perils of getting older.

Refills for my treat, nice smell, doesn’t make my hands sore, liquid soap are somewhere, they have to be. If I close my eyes I can see where I put them, so how come they have been replaced by the bathroom cleaning stuff? No, they aren’t where the cleaning stuff should be, that bit of the cupboard is empty.

I can't find my daughter's first Christmas bauble. I have my son's which is 3 years older.

I can't find the antlers for my car! I have had them for a few years now, and was convinced I knew exactly where to find them - but no! I expect they will turn up when it is too late - after Christmas, and then I will put them somewhere safe for next year and not be able to find them again! And DH has been wrapping presents upstairs and BOTH my pairs of kitchen scissors have gone missing!

DH just found mine after id spent ages looking for it when I read your post. I was convinced I’d lost it. It was in a jug I use for pouring pancake mix into the pan on Shrove Tuesday. Good luck with the search.

Has anyone seen my nutcrackers?? They have gone awol just when I fancy a few brazil nuts.Add to that a large metal spaghetti spoon/grabber which I really need for tomorrow.

I bought chocs for the tree weeks ago. I have searched every draw and cupboard, they are nowhere to be found. Probably with the missing lemon squeezer.

I want to know who left the fridge door open..........

Found the Avon catalogue in the freezer.

Who's got my lemon/orange zester?

I think it's with my missing tin of paint and my son's art folder.
Merry Christmas

SuzannahM - try looking in your tights drawer - you'll probably find the fishcakes!

...a little prayer to St Anthony always works for me! He's never let me down...

The first place I look for lost items is the freezer. Just found a packet of tights in there. Haven't found the fishcakes though.

GrandetanteJE65 I reckon your DH had it hid all that time and he brought it out when he thought enough time had elapsed that you would start to believe you were ‘losing your marbles’. (see what I did there?) ???
Keep your wits about you or he’ll have the men in white coats coming for you?

The Borrowers are certainly the only explanation for this little episode chez grandtante.

My paring knife disappeared into thin air between the kitchen counter, where I had been using it, and the kitchen sink.

Well, I love that knife, so I emptied the kitchen bin onto a piece of newspaper and the compost bin onto another.
I searched the entire kitchen, then the rest of the house, then emptied the dustbin and the re-cycling bin. ( I think I even checked the compost heap.)

NO JOY.

Finally gave up and bought a new knife, and every time I used it, I sighed for the dear departed one.

This was last summer. Towards the end of November, DH and I were both working in the kitchen, when I suddenly realised he was holding my long-lost knife.

I asked him where he had found it and when, and he replied," it was just lying here on the table."

I can assure you all, it had NOT been lying on, near, under, around, in front of, below or behind that table for four solid months.

Anyone care to offer a non-Borrowers explanation to that one? Probably easier just to revise which prepositions govern the accusative case and which the dative in German using the above sentence.

sadgrandma slinky malinky and other felines are well known for their dishonest habits so many of the missing items could have been cat burgled.

I couldn’t find the coffee filter papers, which are always in the cupboard. My husband said he had put them in his shed because they were getting dusty in the kitchen cupboard. I was almost speechless at his logic, just the one item he had taken specially to his shed.

I think the blue cloth, lemon squeeze and all these other things are with my mums little paring knife... ?
