As the earring has happily been found any ideas on where remote control could be? Usually on arm of the sofa or table between 2 sofas. Looked under the table and had sofas out poked down sides. Any ideas?

We once found out under the cat who was smugly settled on it with her fluffy coat out all round her. Another time we found her engulfing a set of house keys. She obviously wanted us to spend time with her instead of watching TV or going out.

Hurrah!

If you have schoolchildren look in their school bags that’s where I found mine

My niece couldn’t find their remote until it was discovered in their daughter’s dolls house nicely made up into a bed for
the doll.

It's hidden in the same place as our key ....

Let me know when you find them!

And my favourite pen and my silver bracelet.

What's the Saint Anthony prayer?

My Mum was Irish Catholic and she always said a prayer to St Anthony if we lost anything. He never let us down! He is the patron saint of lost things.

Dear St Anthony, full of grace
Lead me to its hiding place

I just found one mislaid object. St Anthony helped me.

But not the key. ☹

Whingey - you’d better find it before the family return.😂
Have you run your hands down the the side of the sofas, between the cushion and the arm of the sofa…mine is always there.
Another thought, the mum of the house has probably put into her handbag, before she left….. just automatically.
Hope you find it.

I lose mine at least once a day. I then resolve to always leave it in a designated spot. Do I? Of course not confused.

Happened to us a few years ago... Sadly never found it. We think it might have been thrown away with a pile of newspapers that were on the Coffee table. Got a replacement from Amazon.

Sorry, just noticed you said family had been. Have you checked they haven't taken it wrapped in cat bits and pieces???

AmberGran Sun 22-Jun-25 19:04:50

Have you had any visitors?

We got accused to taking my parent's remote away with us when we had been visiting once. We were sure we hadn't taken it but did a good search in the car and bags just incase. They never found it and I'm sure to this day think we took it grin

Whingey Sun 22-Jun-25 19:01:40

Sorry it has not been found yet. Am cat sitting for family and missed it after they had left

Allira Sun 22-Jun-25 18:16:56

Yes, that reminds me, I was going to check the filter!

pably15 Sun 22-Jun-25 18:10:31

Washing machine, my mobile ended up there once

Greenfinch Sun 22-Jun-25 17:56:22

Have you found it yet Whingey? My friend’s dog chews hers up . Do you have a dog?

In the dog's bed ?

Greenfinch Sat 21-Jun-25 22:02:31

I found one in a bag of charity donations I was sorting through. Could it have been yours?😂

After finding one of our sons shoes in the freezer it’s the first place I look. Worth a try? If all else fails get a replacement and I guarantee it will turn up!

Seriously I know it’s frustrating. Hope it appears in the morning.
