Where the fuck is my jumper?

32 replies

froomeonthebroom · 21/12/2022 20:44

New jumper arrived on Friday, I wore it for a short visit to the inlaws in the afternoon then I must have taken it off when I went to bed. Haven't worn it since as I've spent most of the last 4 days ill on the sofa. Went to put it on earlier and can't find it anywhere!

Do I need to make an offering to the Saint of lost things or what?! I need my jumper!

Believe or not I've had a dressing gown go missing a few months ago .
If I didn't know better I would believe clothes have a secret life and have emigrated 🤷🏻‍♀️. Probably doing the Conga with your jumper .

It's alright to say things can only get better,
You haven't lost your brand new sweater.
I know I had it on when I had my tea,
And I'm sure I had it on in the lavatory.

I had a similar thing with a pair of leggings ... I looked everywhere & eventually found them at the bottom of my bed under the duvet 🤷‍♀️

Solasum · 21/12/2022 20:57

Inside the top you last wore it with, inside out in a heap somewhere, a floordrobe perhaps, or in the washing

Checked all those, been through all my drawers. It's driving me crazy!

Ask the borrowers for it back!

You haven't lost your brand new sweater.
Pure new wool, and perfect stitches,
Not the type of jumper that makes you itches
Oh no.

Behind a sofa cushion?
Under a coat on a coat peg?
Squeezed down the back of the sofa?
On a teenager?

You all beat me to it!

Fizzadora · 21/12/2022 21:01

Had this a couple of weeks ago. I had hung it up on a hanger on the back of the spare room door to see if a couple of creases would drop out.
They didn't. It was cheap (Matalan). I wore it anyway without ironing😱

Lu1u · 21/12/2022 21:03

Husband did the same thing recently, we eventually found it hung up in the coat cupboard even though it was a long sleeve tshirt, both of us adamant it wasn't us who put it there 😄 hope you find yours!

Not down any sofas, not on a teenager or even in their rooms. I've barely moved the last few days so I can't have tidied it away!

St. Anthony I think?

On a teenager?

And now Mumsnet is taking the piss by advertising my jumper to me in the app!! I don't need a new one, I've only just bought this one!

St Anthony of Padua is the saint of lost things, OP.
Hope that's a little more helpful!

TheYearOfSmallThings · 21/12/2022 21:11

Did you take it off at your in-laws', then put a coat on when you were going home and forget about the jumper?

Badger1970 · 21/12/2022 21:13

Laundry basket?

Inside the washing machine or tumble dryer? Or lurking on an airer?

My money's on what @TheYearOfSmallThings suggested.

It's not at the inlaws, not in the washing machine/basket/ironing pile or on the airer.

It has sequins on it so maybe the kitten took it. She seems to like shiny things like Christmas tree baubles
