I have lost half a block of cheese!

Not a normal size block, one of the massive value ones the supermarkets sell 🤦‍♀️

I've had the entire fridge empty, to clean it, checked the cupboards. Not there 🤷‍♀️

Not in the top of the bin.

Wtf have we done with it?!

Meeces.

I lost some cheese last week, three slices. Picked the plate up from behind me and whoosh! Crackers on floor. But where was the cheese?

I hunted high, I hunted low. Under the sofa, among the papers on the table...

Nary a sliver to be seen.

At long last, I noticed a tiny slosh of tea around my mug.

Yep. All three slices. Silently into the deep.

Still drank the tea, mind. Not gonna waste a good cuppa.Xmas Grin

Does anyone in the house sleepwalk? 👀

More seriously, it might have been put away absentmindedly in the wrong place. Freezer, pantry, saucepan cupboard, with the chopping board… Or accidentally thrown away ☹️

I once completely and utterly lost a Terrys chocolate orange. I hunted high and low for 3 days. Couldnt find it anywhere. It finally turned up in the shed.......... where I had randomly put it along with some stuff to donate to charity!

StaceySolomonSwash · 20/12/2022 19:41

Sitting there in plain sight like my kitchen scissors on the dining table I must
have checked three times before DH picked them up and asked if these would do? 🤦🏻‍♀️

cicatrix1 · 20/12/2022 19:43

Sorry but did you really buy it ? just thought you had..Ive done this many times 🙄

PoppyBlunt · 20/12/2022 19:45

This reminds me of a time my ex grabbed his foil wrapped sandwiches from the fridge to take to work for lunch.
Unwrapped at his desk at lunch time and he'd taken the foil wrapped block of cheddar instead 😂

Ocrumbs · 20/12/2022 19:46

Has anyone consumed a lot of alcohol since then and eaten it but forgotten?

Footle · 20/12/2022 19:51

I once watched from the street as a seagull flew into an open skylight above a school kitchen, and soon fly out again with a very large chunk of cheese in its beak. Any rookeries near you?

ZeroFuchsGiven · 20/12/2022 19:54

You got up through the night for a wee and ate it all. I speak from experience

stormelf · 20/12/2022 19:54

Toddler taken it to use as a building block? Or maybe it's only my two year old who spent the day playing with the Christmas cheese

Mumski45 · 20/12/2022 19:55

My teenage son once ate a whole slab of Parmesan. We couldn't figure out where it had gone and took him about 2 days to admit to that one.

Do you have a teenage son @lucysmam

Meeces.

Obeses meeces if they’ve eaten half a huge block of cheese 😂

You'll smell it soon if it's in your house.

lucysmam · 20/12/2022 20:02

@Mumski45 no, no boys, just two girls - one very nearly 13, and the other almost 16.

@Ocrumbs there's only me who drinks & my limit is usually two glasses of wine, or whatever I'm drinking.

Definitely bought it - dd1 stood, in Asda, and worked out that the big block would be better for what we wanted it for, the Sunday before last. There should have been a hefty chunk left for a couple of pizzas tomorrow, and to put some in the cauli-cheese for Sunday.

Was there anything in the fridge that shouldn't have been?
Once I reached into my handbag to pay for something only to find a pack of bacon....sure enough my purse was in the fridge when I got home.

Tr1skel1on · 20/12/2022 20:06

Aha, you have 2 teenagers, mystery solved 😂

Justgivemewine · 20/12/2022 20:16

You’ll find it in a few days in a really stupid but obvious ‘why the hell didn’t I spot it there.?’ place starting to grow your own personal supply of penicillin.

sundaylaughs · 20/12/2022 20:18

Did you have a supermarket delivery and the cheese was a missing item? Happened to me with something. Could have sworn I put it in the fridge Grin

PollyCreo · 20/12/2022 20:28

I'm forgetful and lose things keys but a block of cheese?! I have always loved you @lucysmam but someone that careless with cheese could not be my friend 😲😢

SkiingIsHeaven · 20/12/2022 20:30

Did you accidentally eat it?

Barbequebeans64 · 20/12/2022 20:31

This thread made me snack on cheese. Not to rub it in OP.
