If you had a DH or partner this would arouse suspicion and he would be innocent.

I love a mystery such as this!
Bluebelle was the earring for pierced ears and did it have the back piece attached?

Do you have a cat or a dog who could have found the earring and brought it indoors as a little gift for you?

BlueBelle Sun 30-Aug-26 10:54:09

Yes, there’s is always a logical explanation but I always want to find it 😂Fallingstar
I very, very rarely have visitors and only me uses the downstairs loo, so not that one.
I don’t really buy the caught on your clothes one, but obviously could be by a long stretch, because normally I go straight upstairs from work and change.
I think it’s much more likely that it belongs to Cossy
🤣🤣
Isn’t it interesting how these obscure things happen
Who else has a lost / found mystery ?

There is always a logical explanation but sometimes you never find out what it is.

I got my daughter's earring hooked into my hair (I think it was my hair) once. Presumably it was when we hugged each other. I found it when it dropped out.
That was my assumption.

very strange....A sign from above...or maybe you stepped on it outside and it fell off in the loo

‘There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of..’ as Shakespeare said. We try to rationalise things but sometimes there just isn’t a rational explanation.

My money is on it getting caught up on your clothing……….was it complete, as in a pierced earring with the backing intact? If not, chances are it’s caught up on you on contact and dropped onto the floor as you entered the loo…….mystery solved.

Have you given anyone a hug recently and their earring has got caught on your clothes and fell off in the loo? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fallingstar Sun 30-Aug-26 09:07:37

Is it possible that this earring has been in a corner of the room secreted away for some time, dropped by a previous visitor some time ago, and finally disturbed by yourself inadvertently and ending up in the middle of the loo?

BlueBelle Sun 30-Aug-26 08:59:40

I suppose that s a very vague possibility but I haven’t been there last three days and I ve used the loo plenty of times since then, also I usually change clothes as soon as I get home and to add I work in the children’s area so don’t often come in contact with anything adult !! Next ….😂

Sandrina Sun 30-Aug-26 08:54:12

Oooh how very odd! You have told us you work in a charity shop...perhaps it somehow got attached to your clothes? Then fell off? I do like a mystery!

BlueBelle Sun 30-Aug-26 08:40:37

Today I used my downstairs toilet as I often do, and on the floor I found an earring. Well nothing strange in that except it’s not one of mine, I ve never seen it before as far as I know and more than that I rarely have any visitors and certainly no one but me, has been in that loo, and there it was right in the middle of the floor.
I don’t believe in spirits, signs, fairies or such like so what do you think ?
