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?!

Did the naughty elf take it?

lucysmam · 20/12/2022 20:35

At this point @Diversion that's entirely possible 🤣

I love all these cheese threads at Christmas 😅

Can I add my own cheese tale of woe?

Jinglecrunch · 20/12/2022 20:44

Have you checked the butter dish and the bread bin?

lucysmam · 20/12/2022 20:48

@PollyCreo feel free to add your own! It might soften the blow of having to think about tea tomorrow!

It's not in with the bread & there's a new block of butter softening a little on the side, not in the plate cupboard where the grater lives either.

In my house I would guess the toddler has taken it and having a cheese feast….I can get the appeal

Have you recently visited the White House?

OP it's a Very Sad Story and one that still upsets me to this day.

Ten years ago my marriage broke down, it was very traumatic etc etc. I lived 2000 miles away from my parents and was desperate to get back to see them at Christmas. I arrived back to lovely hugs and cuddles, all was right in the world once more. Second day in my parents' house (once I stopped weeping) I opened the fridge to see one of those cheese platters from Tesco - there was every cheese imaginable, my heartbreak was over! But no. No. My mother cruelly informed me that the platter was to be saved for her NYE party and I couldn't have any. The only cheese available for me was a sad 200g piece of low--fat sadness.

I have never forgiven her for this, one of my friends occasionally berates her for it 😂

I would have gone NC for that.

OP, could you have finished it already and forgotten?

If the cheese is in your house and not refrigerated then it will soon let you know where it is.

purplecorkheart · 20/12/2022 21:22

Do you have elf on the shelf? Maybe they are holding the block of cheese to random? Check the letterbox for slivers!

WWLD? 😉

I refer to "Big Block of Cheese Day" for anyone who thought I was being a bit strange and left field there.

I love it when Leo says Margaret worked hard that the appropriate petitioner went to the appropriate staffer...and she shook her head. 🤣

If anyone is interested, the episodes are "The Crackpots and These Women" and "Somebodys Going to Emergency, Somebodys Going to Jail".

@lucysmam did you find the cheese, BTW? Xmas Grin

I once left some Stilton in a very nice M&S shopping bag. Let's just say by the time I found it neither the cheese nor the bag were very nice.

lucysmam · 21/12/2022 16:17

@fancyacuppatea nope, I gave up looking...it'll make its presence known, if it's still here, I'm sure
