Where the heck are they?

Competition time.

Husband has a pair of expensive sandals that he only ever wears while on holiday, or on a really hot day while sat in the garden ( so rarely )
Yesterday, we turned the house upside down and inside out looking for them.
So far we have searched...
All the wardrobes.
On top of wardrobes ( he managed to break one doing this! )
All the cupboards.
Suitcases and holdalls.
Under the beds.
The only time they leave the house is in a suitcase when they're packed for a holiday.
So mnetters, help save my sanity with ideas of where the heck they can be please.
The lucky winner of this find the sandals competition will receive a packet of fruit pastilles. 🤞

Question...do foxes take flip flops? I've seen a few people mention it?! What do they want with our flip flops? Confused

@isthismylifenow sorry, you will have to wait a little longer for the fruit pastilles, none of those scenarios have turned up the sandals.

He doesn't play golf, so not in a golf bag.

He only wears them while sat in the garden on a hot day, never outside of it unless on holiday abroad.

Not on the dining chairs.

Not in a folded up chair, folded rug or the garage, which still only contains the lawn mower and some spare plant pots.

I've literally taken the house apart today and nothing, zilch.
I did however, find a rather nice handbag that I'd forgotten about, so that's one good thing I suppose.

Loft? Someone's dog came into your garden and took them? They were accidentally scooped up amd put in the garden bin? You went on a day trip to the beach and they were lost / left there?

NoSaladThanks · 13/09/2023 00:18

@Failingatthemoment no, none of those apply unfortunately.

Still outside in the garden ?

saladandcheese · 13/09/2023 01:42

Checking in as I thought they would have been found by now! Do you keep old shoeboxes OP? Could they have been put in a different shoe box? Or in the Boot of your car?

WellPlaced · 13/09/2023 01:47

They’re in a carrier or shopping bag hanging in a cupboard.
At least that’s where DS’s football boots were.

SpringSummerDreamer · 13/09/2023 01:49

Maybe you packed one inside each Wellington boot to save space in the shoe cupboard?

ApolloandDaphne · 13/09/2023 06:55

In a poly bag hung on a hook behind all your winter coats.

NoSaladThanks · 13/09/2023 08:02

@saladandcheese I keep shoes in their original boxes on a shelving unit. The box for the sandals are there, but it's empty. The other boxes only contain the correct footwear. I checked each one. ☹️

@SpringSummerDreamer no one wears / owns Wellington's here, so that's out too unfortunately.

@ApolloandDaphne The winter coats are hung up in the wardrobe waiting for winter. I've checked the coat hooks although, but to no avail.

Inside the cupboard of the miniature kitchen (that's where my 5yo put her Crocs so our stupid kitten wouldn't eat them!)

😂

Be grateful she hid the crocs and not the kitten 😉

They knew they were a hideous pair and took themselves off into a charity bag?

Foggyfoggyfoggy · 13/09/2023 15:04

Or teen ds did you a favour and binned them. Can't believe someone suggested a cool young man would be in town wearing such items!

saladandcheese · 13/09/2023 18:06

Were they left outside and taken by Foxes? 🦊

trampolinetreat · 16/09/2023 22:27

@NoSaladThanks Were they ever found?

Helpmepleaseimbusy · 16/09/2023 22:28

I think he left them outside and the foxes have had them

Wherever you keep your carrier bags. Inside a bag inside a bag inside a bag at the bottom of the carrier bag cupboard
