Where are the chocolates???

Come psychics, come clear headed people who can think rationally, come everyone and help me to solve the mystery of the missing chocolates.

I bought a box of posh chocolates as a last minute extra Christmas present for my DP. I remember that they definitely made it home with me as she popped in to see me (we don’t live together) that afternoon and I can remember quickly hiding them out of sight just before she turned up. I thought I’d just shoved them under the sofa quickly. I looked for them the next day to wrap up and couldn’t find them anywhere. I was annoyed but I’d moved house a couple of weeks before so things were in disarray plus I had wrapped and unwrapped presents everywhere so I assumed I’d find them over Christmas but they never turned up.

With Valentine’s Day looming I thought it would be good to find them before then as a present for V day instead. I ha be turned t he house upside down and they are nowhere to be found. Since Christmas, everything has been unpacked and put away and I’ve kept an eye out for them the whole time. I have looked in the unlikeliest places but they have disappeared through a hole in the matrix, I swear.

Where are they?? I definitely didn’t accidentally (or purposefully) eat them myself and the only other person who lives in my house is DS who is 8 and not keen on chocolate so wouldn’t have eaten them if he’d found then. Even if he was a chocoholic he’s the sort of kid who freaks out if he’s taken one biscuit more than I said he could have and confesses to it with no prompting and much guilty wringing of hands.

It wasn't me - I was nowhere near your house at that time Blush

Well if you just stuck them quickly away, they can't be too well hidden eg not locked away in a suitcase.
If you were in the kitchen, look in the veg box of the fridge, or the back of the pan cupboard.
Might you have wrapped them in a spare shopping bag or popped them inside an empty box or carton or behind a stack of plates?

If all else fails you will have to say the prayer to Saint Anthony, that always works!

My first though was under the sofa! Could they be somewhere else in the living room? Behind the tv, in the book case, shoved in a drawer?

This is what I was thinking - they were very swiftly hidden so surely they can’t be anywhere too bizarre? I even tried praying to St Anthony yesterday despite being the most sceptical person ever. He did not deliver.

It was me. Sorry.

Well, there is your prime suspect then. St Anthony found them weeks ago and scoffed the lot.

Ah well, if you don't believe, no wonder it didn't work!

I have a alibi and you can't prove ANYTHING

Is there any chance your DP came round and scoffed them while you were not looking
