You are a reel of beading wire...where are you hiding?

Because you're not in with the fishing wire, where I thought you were 🤔 and I need you for a repair 🙄

The cat's had it, it's a jumbled mess under the settee

CormoranStrike · 21/07/2022 19:52

In the Nicknack drawer, or on the shelf

DinosaursEatMan · 21/07/2022 19:53

In the attic with the Christmas decorations, after it was last used for an emergency repair

In dc’s room, in preparation for using as trip wire

In with the fishing wire but hiding

Nottodayseagull · 21/07/2022 20:11

In the box of random craft things on top of the bookcase.

DeadbeatYoda · 21/07/2022 20:24

In the art cupboard, behind the masking tape.

Dewsberry · 21/07/2022 20:47

Somewhere in a corner of teen's disaster of a bedroom floor, and therefore irretrievably lost forever.

Sorry.

Third drawer down in the kitchen with the old batteries, birthday candles, novelty biscuit cutters, keys to God knows where, euro coins, wundaweb, one chopstick, and half a dozen old horse treats... ( She says bitterly ) My gaff is like the Bermuda triangle.

Took box, craft box, kitchen drawer, or the random shelf where everything gets shoved

GoldPig · 21/07/2022 21:04

Should say tool box

lucysmam · 21/07/2022 21:29

@DinosaursEatMan you might be right, given the strop almost 13yo dd2 threw earlier on 🤣

So far it's not in with the fishing wire, which lives in one of many craft boxes. Not in the shit drawer. Not in the tool box (it's specifically for me rather than anyone to use, but checked anyway). Not in my sewing bag. Not in with my crochet or been chucked in with my paints when I tidied them up. Can't get in the loft for it to be with Christmas decs (no ladders)

I haven't checked my sewing box yet, or the craft stuff upstairs.

It's weird it not being where I expected though...the beads I last used it for are in there 🤷‍♀️

With the Christmas stuff after a wreath making incident.

Gliblet · 21/07/2022 21:35

In the same place as my bloody florist's wire 🙄Maybe they've run away together 😁

lucysmam · 21/07/2022 21:37

Ooh @Gliblet I have some wires I was going to use for some crochet flowers I haven't got to yet! I might see if one of those might do the job. Thanks for losing your wire & mentioning it 🤣 hopefully it turns up 🤞

In or near jewellery box if you’ve used it for a repair or intended to

Jellybean23 · 21/07/2022 21:39

Someone's borrowed it and isn't letting on.

WinterMusings · 21/07/2022 21:43

I'm under the sofa, hoping for the odd crumb treat to get dropped with in my reach!

my cousin is on Amazon looking for a new home though!!

bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyza · 21/07/2022 21:55

Has a child picked it up? That's the answer in my house.

PeskyRooks · 21/07/2022 22:06

I had this with a brand new packet of jump rings. It drove me mad.

My mum gave me some of hers for what I wanted to do but it still bugged me.

I eventually found them months later in a shoe in my cupboard. Might be worth a look?

upinaballoon · 21/07/2022 22:44

I'm up in Annie's room, behind the clock.

Tablechairtable · 21/07/2022 22:48

In the shed or on something high up because someone really tall put me there really quick as they couldn't be bothered to put it away properly-yoohhoo I'm here! Look up!

redfairy · 22/07/2022 00:46

caught on the sleeve of your Christmas jumper that you folded up after one wear unwashed. You only had it on for an hour til you got hot and took it off.

ValBiro · 22/07/2022 00:52

In the pocket of a cardigan.

I once found £40 I'd lost 6 months previously when I first put said cardigan back on after the summer!

lucysmam · 22/07/2022 20:31

I've checked alllll the places I could possibly have put it, with no luck 🙄 I did however find some tiny picture frames, in the box where I thought they should be, that I didn't previously find in there 🤷‍♀️ so maybe I'll check again in a day or two.
