Can anyone help me find my ring??

Hi lovely people of MN,

I am sure I have seen a few threads in the past where people have lost something and others can 'sense' (??) where said lost item might be?

Anyway, on the off chance I didn't imagine these threads, at the weekend I lost a silver ring from my little finger, very sentimental as my children gave it to me. I am 99% sure it's in the house but I've searched high and low and can't find it

If there is anyone who could help find it or point me in the direction of the right board to post this on (I did search for posts but couldn't find them - oh the irony) I would be very grateful

Thank you

On the windowsill behind the sink

Laundry! Either at the bottom of the laundry basket tangled up in some clothes or in the clean laundry pile.

Down the side of the sofa?

Interested in this thread?

You took it off to put some hand cream on /make some meatballs and it's in a pocket.*

I can help. It's kind of a trick.

So, the thing is, you actually know where your ring is. You already know it's in the house, and I bet you actually know where in the house it is. Trust yourself. Clear your mind and go to the place where you KNOW it is. When you get to the place where you know your ring is, you need to visualise a sphere in that place - quite big - 1.5m diameter. Your ring is within that sphere. Now you just have to be practical and however silly it seems, search every inch of that sphere. It's there.

I once found my engagement ring in a mop bucket

bakewellbride · 08/01/2024 20:35

Oh and once I found it on the street a few feet from my house! Worth checking your road maybe?

I've never lost it since, those are the only 2 occasions in nearly 6 years!

Inside a glove you wore at the weekend.

Beaverbridge · 08/01/2024 20:37

Down side of the bed?.

Imamumgetmeoutofhere · 08/01/2024 20:38

Inside some gloves. Could have slipped off when you removed them

Jeelypieces20storeys · 08/01/2024 20:44

On the soap tray in the shower

PickledMuffin · 08/01/2024 20:47

Do you take it off when you wash your hands, cook or clean? If so, on a shelf in the kitchen or bathroom? possibly in a pile of washing? hope you find it xx

I know this sounds stupid but ask St Christopher to help you find it. It worked for me one (yes, I do know it was a coincidence but I got my ring back).

Saint Anthony for God's sake!

Some kind of garden/veg/herb growing area.

Onehappymam · 08/01/2024 20:54

In your dressing gown pocket?

JaneKatSuttonGoals · 08/01/2024 20:54

St Anthony ftw - always. Ask him then later on check wherever you first looked - it's usually there even if you-ve overlooked in a rush first time round.

DyslexicPoster · 08/01/2024 20:56

In a trouser pocket. That's where I found a lost diamond.

notthesamename · 08/01/2024 21:01

In the folds of a towel or very near one.

Daysie · 08/01/2024 21:02

Inside or near a (possibly sparkly/ diamanté) purse/ make up bag.

HereComesColinFrissel · 08/01/2024 21:17

Thank you everyone, so chuffed with how many people bothered to reply - thanks again 😌

I will finish looking in all those places tomorrow and update

In a towel in the airing cupboard

Isometimeswonder · 08/01/2024 21:34

In something you took off. Glove, sock, legging leg...

whyamiawakestill · 08/01/2024 21:37

I was going to say pillow case or duvet.
