There is a Bermuda Triangle-esque space in my house. WHERE HAVE THESE FUCKING THINGS GONE???

The first things to go missing were DP car keys. He left them in the utility room when we were abroad, came home and they were nowhere to be seen. NOWHERE. We searched and searched and searched with no luck. It was/is baffling.

Two nights ago, I removed my contact lenses and put them in their case. It's about 2 in wide and 1in deep. It's coloured. It's a distinctive shape. I woke the next morning and couldn't find them. I had a clear memory of exactly where I removed them but they had vanished into thin air. We searched high and low for hours, my eyesight is very poor so being without them is debilitating. We didn't find them, which is very, very odd.

Then DP came across an old pair of lenses so I wore those, took them out the night before last, put them in an identical case. I woke up the next morning and guess what! They've vanished too!! I couldn't believe it. Again, we have looked high and low for these things and I mean EVERYWHERE. There are TWO of these missing things somewhere.

I have combed the bedroom. I have searched under the bed, under the sofa we have in there, under cushions, I have checked all the bed linen (both on the bed and in the drawers), I have methodically been through every single item of clothing that we have stored in there, I have cleared surfaces and searched through every bag, pocket, jewellery box and make up containers. I have emptied tables, I have checked stupid things like light fittings 😂 But nada.

Downstairs has also been ripped apart. We've looked literally everywhere, removed all the sofa cushions twice, looked under all tables and sofas, all bookshelves, in the dog bed and I even emptied the tea and coffee jars to go through those!

Myself and DP have now given up. These things are nowhere to be seen. We are flummoxed.

Does anyone else have their own personal Bermuda Triangle??

@notacooldad they're clearly migrating - to your house Grin
