Where has my duvet gone ?

Day off. Pootling round the house tidying up.
Notice that the spare room bed looks weird. It has no duvet on it. Duvet, covers all vanished
2 other adults in the house who deny any knowledge of its disappearance.

Where is it ?

I've tried
Under the bed (all beds!)
Under the mattress covers
On other beds
Cupboards
Washing basket
Loft (!)

A whole 'all seasons' poofy quilt missing.

Any ideas hive mind?

Reminds me of the 'missing g ironing board' thread from many moons ago.

Wrapped round something to protect it whilst moving (eg tv)?

Your dh has had an affair at home and hidden the evidence. Ltb

There’s a super hero called Duvet Man, flying around and providing warmth and comfort to folk in need. You have unwittingly donated to his cause.

Interested in this thread?

Could you have a really chilly poltergeist?

Someone dreamed they were eating a big marshamallow and...

Inside the duvet cover of another bed?!

I love the idea of a duvet superhero.

We don't have an airing cupboard.

If DH did bring another woman in he'd have to sneak her in past me as I work at home. And then they'd be at it right above my head. So not a contender. Oh and he just wouldn't.

A friend stayed this week (in another room) so maybe he ate it ? I'll ask. He'll understand.

Still wracking my brains.

Pissed or puked on and snuck into the bin is my guess

WhineWhineWhineWINE · 18/05/2023 13:44

I firmly believe that due to some hitherto undiscovered law of physics that tiny singularities manifest in our homes and vanish again without trace after sucking in innocuous household items. It's really the only feasible explanation for why there are so many bloody odd socks in our house. They're all in an alternate dimension. HTH 😁

Dressing gown pocket is where I found my passport after a frenzied couple of days looking for it, so it's definitely worth checking.

JamDodger · 18/05/2023 14:05

I can’t add anything helpful as I’ve also lost one of my duvets.

Looked inside all cupboards, all duvet covers in case I doubled-duvetted over winter and forgot. No vacuum packed bedlinens. It’s totally gone. Very small home, live mostly alone. There might be a secret place where escaping duvets go.

lightlypoached · 18/05/2023 14:20

I believe in a land of lost items.

It's full of
teaspoons
Duvets (obvs)
@Lamelie slow cooker lid
Odd socks
Hairbands
Charging cables
Buttons
Money

Anything else ?

In the car boot because you planned to take it to the dry cleaners?

WeAreTheHeroes · 18/05/2023 14:24

In someone's car or maybe someone has taken it for cleaning and is not fessing up because they know it'll be back soon?

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 18/05/2023 14:26

So you saw it needed washing, and then what? Did you pick it up and the postman came or something? I often abandon things mid task when another thing happens then can't reemener WTF I left the first thing. Currently looking for my wallet that I knew I would lose as it was in my jeans that I wasn't wearing. So I put it somewhere safe...

Did you take it outside to de-cat it before washing? Is the pillow and matching pillow case still on the bed?

I'll add school uniform hair clips to the land of lost things please.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 18/05/2023 14:27

Did you bag it up in a black bag to take to the cleaners/launderette and someone's chucked it out? I lost a wetsuit that way.

Branchingout2000 · 18/05/2023 14:30

The ironing board was found on top of a wardrobe I think.

pimplebum · 18/05/2023 14:35

Someone has pooed or period blood in it too embarrassed to say

I always wondered. Thank you.

lightlypoached · 18/05/2023 14:38

The bin men have been. So if it was in a black bag it's gone forever.

Checked with friend who stayed (different room) this week and he said he'd had a dream about eating a giant tampon 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Has someone taken it to a sleepover?

Pens! I buy hundreds and can never find one when I need to.

My neighbour found one in her garden the other day. Probably there 😂

Packed away in a suitcase or bag?
Used to create extra padding on a bed/armchair/sofa?
