Any suggestions for where it might be hiding?
It's a big upright one.

Behind the door in a room you don’t often use?

Garage or somewhere near where you last had it.

LunaTheCat · 03/12/2021 15:08

It’s lonely in the cupboard and gone to visit the Hoover next door...

Childrens bedroom
Under the Christmas tree

In the wrong cupboard? Behind a door. I lost my handheld for ages it was in the towel cupboard!

Did she ever come and tell us?
birdling · 03/12/2021 15:10

Been into all of the rooms. No space behind doors.
Don't have a garage. Could be in the shed, I will check (don't know how it would get there, though).

In the corner your bedroom.

RavenclawsRoar · 03/12/2021 15:11

Oh this happened to me once. Dh had decided to "service" it and it was in several pieces in the garage Hmm

birdling · 03/12/2021 15:11

No cupboards big enough.....
Could be in a parallel universe with the ironing board, feels like I live in one these days.

It has hoovered itself up Grin

santaclawzz · 03/12/2021 15:12

that sucks 🤣

sorry couldn't help it 😆

girlmom21 · 03/12/2021 15:14

It's either under a pile of clothes or someone's knocked it over behind the settee, or in the porch because DH has hoovered his car...

ApolloandDaphne · 03/12/2021 15:14

It's sitting in the hall disguised by a pile of coats.

jpbee · 03/12/2021 15:14

Those witches from Hocus Pocus may be flying on it?

NCnotmyusualone · 03/12/2021 15:16

@ilovepixie not that I ever saw Sad very strange.

Xiaoxiong · 03/12/2021 15:17

Did you hang a coat on it in the hall? Or a towel, if it's in a bedroom?

Did someone take it outside to hoover the car?

EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn · 03/12/2021 15:19

Could anyone else in the family have lent it to someone without telling you?

percythewitch · 03/12/2021 15:48

Is there a weird looking old lady hanging about in any of the rooms?

Gearedtoyou · 03/12/2021 15:50

It's run off with the enormous rucksac I've been looking for all week.

Honestly how many places can there be?

birdling · 03/12/2021 15:55

Sorry, was collecting the kids from school.
Asked DH when I got home, half expecting him to know exactly where it was, but he is as puzzled as me.
Have bribed the kids to hunt for it now.
It's got to be here somewhere...

Gearedtoyou · 03/12/2021 15:59

Would it be rude to ask when you last used it? Grin

That was my immediate thought on reading the thread title too Grin
birdling · 03/12/2021 16:11

It's ok!! My Ds found it 👍. It was hiding under my dh's work clothes, he'd hung them over the handle and they were blocking the entire upright section. There was a bag over the bottom part so completely hidden.
Thank you for all of your suggestions 😀
