Where does all the stuff go??

My mum usually sings a rhyme in Spanish to St. Honorato and ties a cloth which is not supposed to be untied until the thing appears.

I have lost a make up palette, a taekwondo dobok, a handback and a Benefit lipgloss that I honestly don’t know where it is.

Obviously, countless socks and the numbers increase every month.

As for the keys, maybe you left them in the front door.

Were you with someone when had keys when you entered your home? Might be under your car, inside the car in between the seats, maybe in a pocket in your coat. Where you carrying other things in your hands perhaps??

Oh! And my one of my best friends, who lives in NZ, never ever has cash on him, only his card. He has no change whatsoever.
He'd been out, came home and went to get changed. As he took his short sleeved shirt off, which had no pockets, a coin fell from his shirt onto the bed!!! He was totally baffled! Someone in another universe will have been saying, where's that coin I just had gone?! He's kept the coin but still has no idea where it appeared from!

Ask St Anthony

Back garden if you let the dogs out?
Where you keep the poo bags?
Did you miss your bag when you were putting them into it? At what point in the house do you usually slip them into your bag? Search thoroughly around there.
A kitchen cupboard? Fridge? Dog food bin? Dog treat box?

Many years ago, I'd had a stressful morning at work, came home to an empty house at lunch time, usual routine, came in, flicked the kettle on, dug my cigs and lighter out of my bag, put them on the top of the fridge, which was about 5ft high, took my bag in the lounge. Came back, made a coffee, went to grab my cigs to go sit outside with my coffee... Gone! Tipped my bag out, in case I thought I'd taken them out and hadn't, not there! Searched all downstairs and even went upstairs, even though I hadn't been up there since coming in... Not a sign! Every time I passed the fridge, I looked for them. Still not there! Went up to the loo and as I was coming back down, I said loudly, ok, the joke's over, put my cigs back please. Walked into the kitchen, there they were on top of the fridge!!! It still baffles me to this day! I have 2 skirting board fairy doors and I did wonder... 🤣🤣🤣

The Washing Machine Sock Void spits them out about a year later, by which time its previous partner has disappeared into the Bottomless Drawer Of Things That Might Come Into Their Own One Day (BDOTTMCITOOD).

@bleepingbleepybleep Maybe another version of you has ended up with an extra set of keys and is now asking MN why she has a duplicate?

Pray to Saint Anthony that's what they do in these parts can you also pray for my 2 lost pen drives the contents of which I should have moved to one drive ages ago

I do wonder if my stuff ends up in another dimension. 😂

Have you checked the fridge? Bottom drawer?

Is the lining of your bag ripped? Could they have gone in there?

Behind a radiator? Dying to know where they are now!

The novel 'A Place Called Here' by Cecilia Ahern is about exactly this. A dimension full of lost things called 'Here'', including actual missing people in the book.

I read it years ago, but I've always remembered it. I lose so many things completely inexplicably that it can be the only explanation!

I read a novel many years ago about where the lost things go. Think it was by Cecilia Aherne but I’ll have to look it up.

I get this a lot, especially now my toddler has taken to posting anything he can get his hands on into any small space my hands won’t fit into.

You just reminded me I lost a flute (yes, a proper silver flute in a case) and found it months (years?) later eventually in a cupboard. So there is hope for the old rolling pin.

Every duvet cover I own has been used and washed since then, sadly no socks have emerged.

I lost a pan?! A couple of years ago, didn’t even find it when I moved house, so inteuiged where that ended up!

It's a glitch in the matrix OP. Well go the same way one day 😂

Oh, another one. I washed our summer bedding, hung it outside to dry and put it back on the bed. A large velvet cushion cover was missing. I searched every bit of fabric in the house, even visited the neighbours to check it hadn’t blown off the line. I KNEW it had gone into the wash but hadn’t come out of the wash. A complete mystery.

Months later I stripped the cushions to replace the winter bedding. I took off the large velvet cushion cover to find, underneath, a second velvet cushion cover. I had put both on the same cushion, in autopilot, with absolutely no memory of doing so.

I once found my lost wedding ring in the airing cupboard. 12 years lost and I had moved house in the meantime.

DH found his ring in the freezer though it was only missing a few weeks.
Things end up in the rubbish and recycling quite regularly judging by the number of calls I get from residents about it (council waste management)

I can't wait to find out where they were when you find them. Hope it's somewhere really quirky and not just behind the microwave.
