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?

Found remote control behind sofa 😇

So pleased to hear than, I have the same problem at my daughter's place when I'm babysitting and it's often in or around the sofa there.
My husband has a habit of taking it to the dining table so that he can turn up the volume when he's eating, drives me mad...

Under the sitting room/sofa cushions. In the freezer. In the housecoat pocket. Under the table. In the junk drawer. In the first aid box in the bathroom.

My daughter realised her children were taking it to their dad's house when they went for the weekend. Some sort of joke on their part.

fallen in something, maybe knitting bag, handbag, etc.
sat on it under a cushion. I sit on things regularly and then howl i cannot find them, stand up, oh, they are there
under a chair or sofa, I often think, Too small a gap, but no.

Good to hear you’ve fiund it and in one of its usual hiding places
I’ve wandered into the kitchen and put my tv remote on the radio which has an almost identical remote

Liaise, maybe the ghost that keeps nicking it is like me - can't stand TV's, so that's why it keeps going missing!

Have you up-ended the sofas? My lost purse was stuck under the bottom of the sofa and every time we moved the sofa the purse moved too.
Failing that, the telephone cupboard. I put the bacon in there once as a teenager, only tracked down by the smell!.

garden shed !

Lost ours recently. Eventually found it next day at the back of the couch, there’s a little flap velcroed, you can pull it out to clean any crumbs that might have fallen down

If anything is missing, I look in the fruit bowl - it's a very big one - and I'm often right.

I bought a packet of batteries yesterday I remember buying them, I remember paying for them, I remember putting them in my shopping basket, I remember getting them out when I unpacked my shopping, but can I find the darned things, they are NO where
