Has anyone seen my Kindle?
I'll look for something of yours in return. Grin

My Christmas tablecloths. This is the third year they've been missing. They are definitely in the house because I saw them in summer 2016. Went to where I'd seen them that christmas and they'd gone. I think someone is enjoying them in an alternate universe, like your Kindle.
I usually keep my kindle under my pillow. Have you looked there?

TooTrueToBeGood · 31/12/2020 11:52

Place marking in case I can't find this thread later :)

I'd say the kindle is under the sofa.... a sad one but if anyone knows where my cat who has been missing for 8 days is I would be over the moon!

My brand new tree topper! Spent 3 years looking for one, it was perfect and beautiful. Arrived in November, been lost ever since.

Say a prayer to St Anthony. I am not particularly religious but it works for me. Grin

Where are all my plastic rulers?

I've lost my 12inch yellow shatterproof one and 3 or 4 of the 6inch ones (which I buy 3 or 4 of at a time as they go walkabout).

We had to raid DD's school pencil case today!

TeenPlusTwenties · 31/12/2020 11:55

The kindle is in a pile of old newspapers by the way. Smile

Alexindiamondarmour · 31/12/2020 11:55

I hope your cat comes back ASAP bump

Lost my DDs sandals during the first lockdown (so couldn't have been anywhere but the house or garden). Searched everywhere, twice.

4 months later found them in the slow cooker, which had been sat at the back of a cupboard the whole time.

Bloody kids.

GinandGingerBeer · 31/12/2020 11:56

My good glasses!
They are in the bad glasses glasses case! I have my bad ones. Where are my good ones?

Justnormajean · 31/12/2020 11:56

@reedwarbler
Your Christmas tablecloths have got mixed up with the very old spare bed linen, possibly with the children’s characters duvet covers from years ago that were meant to go to the charity shop.
Checked under my pillow, need to check under the bed.

My kindle was missing too 4 months after a move, so assumed it was lost. Found it last week at the bottom of the bottom draw of the bedside table Blush good luck!

Justnormajean · 31/12/2020 11:58

@bumpdownthestairs fingers crossed for your cat. We once got home from holiday and we found a cat in our house who had got in through an unused, and I thought locked cat flap, and then couldn’t get out again. The cat was fine an scarpered as soon as th back door was opened,

@AnneLovesGilbert
Have you checked the cupboard under the stairs?
@GinandGingerBeer
Judging by your user name 😉 have you checked the recycling?

Down the back of the radiator?

I lost my Grandmother's wedding ring (when we moved into this house 6 years ago) Sad Have searched everywhere, any ideas?

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 31/12/2020 12:07

My sons £10 gift card for the local toy shop which he got for Christmas, can't find it anywhere! He's got plenty of other stuff but obviously just wants that.

TaffyandTeenyTaffy · 31/12/2020 12:08

DHs Toblerone Crunchy. Well the remaining half of it. Last seen on Boxing Day. I am sure he thinks I have eaten it. I haven't.

TeenPlusTwenties · 31/12/2020 12:08

Panda In a box of Lego. That's where I nearly lost an inherited ring that was slightly too big for me. (I lost it but found it the next day when I thought about everything I had done.)

PandaAttack · 31/12/2020 12:12

@TeenPlusTwenties thank you I will have a look! We've got lots of Lego so fingers crossed

TaffyandTeenyTaffy · 31/12/2020 12:12

Sorry meant to say that DSs kindle tuned up in a shoe box of felt pens in a cupboard at my DMs house about 3 months after he lost it. His tidying up skills leave a lot to be desired.

Justnormajean · 31/12/2020 12:27

@ranoutofquinoaandprosecco
Tricky. Slipped down the back of a drawer?
@TaffyandTeenyTaffy
I’m afraid to tell you, you are being gaslighted and he ate it in the early hours of the 27 when he got up to get a drink of water.

Can you keep an eye out for the diamond from my engagement ring please? Disappeared on Christmas Eve exactly two years to the day since he gave it to me. Sad

80sColourfulChristmas · 31/12/2020 12:41

My sanity - last seen 19th January 2015 🤱🏼

Justnormajean · 31/12/2020 13:58

@80sColourfulChristmas
I’m very impressed you can recall the date! Bear with, and it shall return Grin
@Shitonthebloodything
Not sure about the diamond, but have tried looking at your household and contents insurance?
