Where have I put the charger for the power drill?

Posting because I've seen other mumsnetters reunited with their misplaced items thanks to posting!

It's not with the drill itself. It's not with other tools and it's not in the room I last used it.

Oh and I can't see it in the shed either.

Any telepathics(?) out there?!

Under the stairs cupboard?

Packed away with Christmas stuff as one of you tried to use it as an adapter plug for something and it didn’t work but wasn’t out back with the drill and put in with the Christmas stuff.

In the drawer in the kitchen that has all the other rubbish stuff dumped in it 😂😂 I went to sort it today - opened it and closed it quick then had a Kit Kat to make me feel better 😂😂😂

In the skip you had taken away last week!

Talipesmum · 19/01/2022 17:24

Down the back or on the side.

Bagadverts · 19/01/2022 17:25

Under the bed or on top of the wardrobe?

My SIL has taken it thinking it was a phone charger.

Alongside my sheepskin mittens

Let me know when they turn up

Cas112 · 19/01/2022 17:30

In the draw full of random bits and bobs?

Still plugged in the plug socket you would've plugged it into?
Dh.'s is usually in the plug socket in the garage.

We lost the drill just after we moved house- 2 years ago. Looked everywhere, I repeatedly asked my mum if she’d picked it up by accident- def not she said, so we blamed the awful painters. We still had the charger and the box. I bought a new drill. About 2 months ago I found the drill in my mums house….. ‘but I can’t find the charger or the box’ she tells me. She is still 100% adamant this is her drill.

All great suggestions. Checked all but the loft (and the SIL) to no avail.

Off to the loft @Shapiro....

In with the spare extension leads

Or, my husband has stuffed it in the second drawer down in his desk, with all the other bits of cable and stuff, where it will get entangled with all the other electrical bits that he has assumed are his, and stuffed in the same drawer. If you manage to untangle all the other stuff while you are looking for yours, I'll make you my best g&t.

In the dirty washing/clean laundry basket to be moved up/downstairs. I quite often wash empty toilet rolls and try and put random cars away in kids clothes drawers because of this

fridacakehole · 19/01/2022 18:43

I found it!

In a box of retro crockery I'm trying to sell on Facebook Marketplace. Obviously.

Well of course! Grin

tectonicplates · 19/01/2022 20:41

I'm glad you found it before selling the crockery!
