What have I done with this plant pot??

I'm at home today as have a week off between ending one job and starting my new one. I knew I would be waiting in for the chimney sweep so thought I would plant some of window ledge pots up for winter.
Took three smallish planters off front window ledge. Emptied of dead plants in wheelie bin. They are light blue and looked a bit dirty so decided to give them a wash in the sink.
Did so, patted them dry and I think then put them all outside. Chimney sweep arrived-had a chat with him for 5 minutes, then left him to it. Go outside and plant up two of the pots. Look around for the third....
No sign of the third! Where has it gone???

Places I have looked-
Dishwasher
All kitchen cupboards
Back of chimney sweeps van (which was left open and I remember vaguely thinking, 'oh I hope the cat doesn't get in there' so thought I might have vaguely followed the thought and put the pot in there)
Fridge
Kitchen bin (which it wouldn't even fit in)
Recycling box thingy
Underneath the garden benches in the courtyard that we live around.

I didn't at any point go upstairs.

Where the hell is my plant pot?? Where else can I look?
This is driving me mental because how could I lose a plant pot in the space of 5 minutes- plus it's one of three that fit perfectly on my window ledge and you can't get it anymore-and it will look weird with two!

In my defence I'm
Recovering from a chest infection and I do feel a bit other, but I cannot work out where it can have gone!

Wheely bin? Or nicked.

TheLastNigel · 11/09/2018 16:25

I've looked in all
Bins. It can't have been nicked because when I was talking to the sweep I was standing by the only access point to the yard. (Which is under an arch that used to the the entrance to the pub-we Love in one half of it). None of the other neighbours were even home.
I've sent the DD's out to look in All The bins in case I'm just not seeing it 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hard to tell from photo but could the top one be two stacked inside each other?

Happy to help!!! Grin

There's a reason that occurred to me - it's the kind of thing I'd do Blush
