...hiding presents and being unable to find them, I mean.

A while ago I bought a huge bag of nuts for dh’s stocking (he adores nuts) - can I find them? They’re not with the stash of things I bought later, nor in any of the usual hiding places, either.?

I don’t think he’s found them and eaten them on the quiet, either!

Or I am/was simply more self-centred than your DS! ?

As adults, my two DSs have described how they searched our boats (they grew up on the canals) from top to bottom one year, when they were about 8 & 10, in search of their presents. They had given up, but then one accidently kicked a suitcase and realized it was harder than expected ... .
They've only told me this in recent years, and I didn't suspect a thing at the time. They obviously inherited my slyness grin

2 years ago my sister in law and I went to a class to naked fused glass Christmas ornaments.
They had to be fired so, were delivered to my house a week or so later.
Mine went on my tree and hers were safer put away as we were unable to see her before Christmas.
Last year I could not find hers anywhere but even more odd was that I couldn’t find mine either.
Decorations will go up next week so I’m hoping they will all mysteriously turn up .

I have six children and when they were little would buy them all 1 of the same think (selection box for instance). They were all put into their pile of presents (They didn't read the labels) only to find on Xmas day they someone had 2 and someone had none. Either an accident whilst wrapping or mum having had 1 too many wines while dishing out the presents. Who is to know?
