Anyone with 'woo' finding abilities? I've torn the house apart, but no luck. None of our others will fit. Where is it please?

In the box that your Christmas lights came out of? Might you have unplugged it to set the lights up?

Someonesomeone · 05/01/2024 10:21

Thanks. Just checked but not there unfortunately.

Depending on the size of your house this may help - this is my "find it" strategy. And just keep going until you find it. In this order:
Look in every drawer, in every room
Look in every cupboard
Look by and around each household appliance
Look under / behind every item of furniture and furnishings
If no luck .. its in the bins 🤣

In the bag that you only use occasionally for work, not your 'main' work bag

Under the sofa

If you’re like me - at work. Amazon is super helpful in this regard 😁

It will be in the last place you look. Where did you have it last?

Sorry - couldn't help myself. This is a running gag between me and a mate when we can't find anything as it's the sort of helpful thing both sets of parents would ask when we lost something as children.

Has a child/partner taken it? In a laptop bag? In the car?

wossgoinon · 05/01/2024 12:01

Mine was in my granddaughters toy box. For some reason my partner put it in there 🤷‍♀️

St Anthony is your man in these situations.

Someonesomeone · 05/01/2024 12:14

Thank you. I've ordered a universal one from amazon but this one belongs to work so I could really do with finding it. I'll keep searching your suggested places. It must be somewhere 🤔

In one of the other laptop bags - even if you have already been through and got their chargers. See also next to the other laptops.

Next to a plug socket (and under some furniture) where it has been unceremoniously unplugged.

At work

In the car - under one of the seats or in the boot, it may have fallen out of the bag.

Where is it usually? In one place, or do you move it around/take it to work etc?

Have you looked in the car?

I put mine away over Christmas because it's usually in the kitchen - was shoved in the cupboard where tealights and the iron live.

Where was it in the end?

Tinselunderthetv · 13/01/2024 12:25

Office?

CrushingOnRubies · 13/01/2024 13:53

Another member of the house has taken it to charge their own laptop.

Spotnessmonster · 13/01/2024 13:57

Its in your washing basket! You put it in there in there when I were carrying the basket up/down stairs and forgot to take it out.
