Not anything major but I've mislaid a Pokemon plush. £3 from China but it's still bothering me.

I just found a little craft set I bought for Christmas for DD when she was about 8..... she's 13 this week! New I should have been more thorough when cleaning out the understairs cupboard Grin

I did show her but for some reason she doesn't want it now...

A monkey purse. I have the fish shaped one for DS1 but the monkey one for DS2 has vanished, no idea.

I had lost a tiny silver mustard spoon bought for dp. Cue a panicked search and discovery that niece's wrapped present was rattling in ways it shouldn't have been rattling. One unwrapped gift later = lost mustard spoon found. Gawd knows how it got in there.

Bought a lovely candle holder today for a friend, nice candles to go in it, all beautifully wrapped in the shop. Dropped it when I got home and it smashed Sad

Aw no that's gutting breaking it.

I'm intrigued by a mustard spoon. I don't have one. Do I need one?

Probably not. It is very, very tiny and very, very cute but I don't think anybody actually needs one.

Stormtrooper toothbrush.
Bought it at Primark in Leeds on the way back from my team lunch yesterday. Lost it by the time I got back to the car. Big silly roll of wrapping paper must have wobbled it out of the bag.

We don't really eat mustard.

I may still need one.

Oh that's a bummer bike, I know the eevee is in my house because it came in the post at least.

A box of Co-op praline seashells. Oddly the box is still there, with just a few crumbs in the bottom.
I seem to remember this happened last year as well Xmas Blush

An advent calendar. A small picture one, bought it weeks ago and can't find it anywhere. Hoping it will turn up by 1st Dec next year now.

Ok.... this is a weird one.

A 47" Led Hd tv.

I smashed the screen, we put it in the back bedroom, DH moved it and couldn't remember where to for months. Then we remembered he put it in the shed, looked in the shed.... nothing. Still not found it. Blush

Oh my I'm still devastated by this!! My mum bought me a beautiful diamond necklace as a keepsake gift for my 30th from Tiffanys - she saved up it was so special to me..

I decided to treat myself to the matching bracelet - and then LOST it in my office!!

£780 :(

OP you've just reminded me that I need to find the plushies I got months ago, stashed away and now can't find - and had forgotten about.

A box of Lindt chocs for DH. I have looked in every cupboard and cannot find them! I think he would have told me if he'd found them...

Those buying stuff from china - isn't it all really dodgy if bought direct?

I've bought stuff and forgotten what it is. I'll find them in March no doubt GrinHmmBlush
