Washing machine? Airing cupboard? Under the sofa?

MorbidMuch · 26/08/2019 11:26

Under the sofa? Inside a spare suitcase? Amongst the spare sheets? On top of a wardrobe?

BikeRunSki · 26/08/2019 11:27

In a pillowcase, on a made up bed.

Windydaysuponus · 26/08/2019 11:29

Between books?

CupoTeap · 26/08/2019 11:33

Not the washing machine, not in pillows, not in the kitchen cupboards, or on top of the fridge, not in the bread in, not under sofas

Boiler cupboard?
Bathroom?
Laundry basket?

BikeRunSki · 26/08/2019 11:39

On top of the kitchen cupboards.
Have you looked in all drawers?

Gertie75 · 26/08/2019 11:39

In underwear drawer, behind/under sofa. What room is it usually kept in?

FourEyesGood · 26/08/2019 13:02

Under a drawer (as in take the drawer out completely, leave item in cavity below drawer space)?

virginpinkmartini · 26/08/2019 13:06

Divide each room into sections. Don't leave each section until you are 100 percent sure it's not there. Once you have done a whole room, don't go back to it.

SconeofDestiny · 26/08/2019 13:09

Would it be hidden somewhere in DS's room or linked to DS's interests?
Toy box?
amongst the books in a bookcase?
In the crisps/sweeties cupboard?

Wardrobe
Under sofa cushions
Airing cupboard
Under mattress
School bag
Under kitchen sink

ChicCroissant · 26/08/2019 13:20

I'm going to guess that it's at the bottom of a wardrobe on it's edge and tricky to spot! Or down the side of a bookcase/inside a book - there is a drawback to these things being so small!

Who hid it?

CupoTeap · 26/08/2019 20:15

@ChicCroissant I did Blushbut was last minute and in my defence I did tell people where it was Grin

Could you have a look in that pillowcase to see if that's where my husband put the back-up hard drive when we went on holiday?

starlingsintheslipstream · 26/08/2019 20:25

Don't burglars quite often use pillow cases to carry their haul - in which case perhaps it wasn't the safest spot!

ChicCroissant · 26/08/2019 20:27

Yay, well done for finding it!

virginpinkmartini · 26/08/2019 22:42

Glad to be of help lol. Drives me mad going back and forward between rooms so I search each bit like white on rice and then write it off. Might take longer but better for sanity.

CupoTeap · 27/08/2019 16:19

K@Knittedfairies I feel your pain Confused but defo nothing else in there Grin

CupoTeap · 27/08/2019 16:20
