Any psychics about? Help find an envelope please!

33 replies

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had an envelope (brown A4) I think. It contained a stack of paperwork relating to probate for a deceased family member. I cannot find the paperwork. I am normally very organised and expected it to be in my file but no. When I was working on it I kept it under a chest of drawers next to my bed.

Help please, where is it?

Box under your bed?

pussycatunpickingcrossesagain · 24/01/2022 21:01

recycling bin, coffee table, kitchen drawer?
on top of wardrobe (as in somewhere safe where you'd struggle to reach and chuck it)

Did you look at it in bed? If so, slipped down the side or back of the mattress?

Interested in this thread?

Definitely not under the bed, behind the mattress or on the wardrobe. Recycling bin is emptied very regularly so if it was there it’s gone forever! Coffee table is clear. Kitchen drawers were tidied this month (get rid of 1-31 items a day jan challenge and the envelope wasn’t one of them).

I now think the envelope could have been white!
Argh so annoying!

It’s in a drawer but it’s wedged in or fallen behind.

IWasHotInTheNineties · 24/01/2022 21:55

Do you have a sideboard or hallway cabinet? If yes it could be in there

MustDust · 24/01/2022 21:57

Down the side of the sofa, possibly slipped right down like our remote always does.

nancy75 · 24/01/2022 21:57

In the cupboard with the teabags

educatingrati · 24/01/2022 21:59

Do you file it in a red folder or document file? Or something red?!

KittyConCarne · 24/01/2022 22:00

Can you describe where you were keepimg them please op?
I'm my head I'm imagining a chest of drawers on ball feet etc, so you slipped it under the base?
Or did you pull out the bottom drawer to pop it in that hidden space if your chest of drawers has a floor 'plinth' area straight to the floor?

Haha sorry I'm a bit rubbish at explaining that, but with either type of drawers- have you checked underside of unit / pulled away from the wall in case it got pushed far under and caught up?

Trumpetpants · 24/01/2022 22:01

Inside a book?

Harrysutton · 24/01/2022 22:01

It’s in the box you thought it was in. It’s just pushed right to the front under the lip so looks like the wall of the box.

eejervis · 24/01/2022 22:08

It's fallen behind an appliance.

AlphaAlpha · 24/01/2022 22:16

It's in the sand.

HarrietteNightingale · 24/01/2022 22:22

It’s in a drawer but it’s wedged in or fallen behind.

This is what happened to a pension cheque I had for my dad's estate for over 50k! I was seriously freaking out and thought I would have to go right through the bin. I lifted the "important papers" drawer right out and thankfully it was there.

CorsicaDreaming · 24/01/2022 22:25

I'm not a psychic and not sure I believe in it, but had a strong random feeling when reading the thread - "it's in a black bag" that you put it in (to take it somewhere?) and had subsequently forgotten it was there...

LoudSnoringDog · 24/01/2022 22:27

Not a clue but I hope you find it!

I found my work phone in my make up bag today after losing it yesterday

hashbrownsandwich · 24/01/2022 22:34

It's down the side of the unit in the lounge

whirlycarly · 24/01/2022 22:38

I don't claim to be psychic but I got a picture of a magazine rack in my mind. It could be wedged between something in there.

Passthecake30 · 24/01/2022 22:45

It’s on top of the fridge

FozzieBear123 · 24/01/2022 22:49

Following this thread with interest. I need inspiration as to where the heck I’ve put all my daughter’s gift cards from Christmas. I’ve searched everywhere. I feel like I’m going mad. Even dreamt about them last night! Good luck in your hunt OP!

WandaWomblesaurus73 · 25/01/2022 01:38

I couldn't find something earlier. DD said "where do you think it is?"
I had a think
It was there.

HappiestHippo123 · 25/01/2022 06:30

Thanks everyone. I was hoping to wake up knowing where it is, but sadly no.
I will read through after work and try the suggestions.

The chest of drawers is 1930s and on feet/raised from the floor. The paperwork was under it for a while but I moved it, I have double checked too.

In a pile of magazines.

PeakyBlender · 25/01/2022 07:22

Under the bottom drawer. You need to pull it right out.
