Where re my new slippers?

I've been away for one night and I can't find them. I have looked

  • in the kitchen
  • under the sofas
  • under my bed
  • in the lounge and dining room
  • in the en suite
  • in the downstairs loo

I feel they must be somewhere unexpected and I'm running out of ideas. Where do yours go when you lose them?

Do you have a dog? Does he or she look guilty? In this house, that's normally where you look for missing slippers/crocs/socks/tea towels/crisp packets/anything else that's been carelessly discarded (or stolen).

Fridge? I once found a pair of socks in the freezer.

Presuming you didn’t take them away with you?
in the washing basket (gathered up by accident)
in the wardrobe
under the stairs

My dog currently has three slippers in his bed one from three different sets

With my lost festive season trousers? The ones I paid to have taken up.

Seriously though, bin? Bag? Garage?

PuppyMonkey · 28/01/2024 15:47

In the bin?
In your suitcase?
At the place you were staying?
In the microwave?
In the garden?
In your car?
In the place you keep your shoes?

Under the blanket hanging off the side of the bed?
In a dark corner in the bedroom?
Under an unused duvet that the cat is sitting on?
Under a bookshelf?
Behind the curtains that reach the floor?
Hiding in plain sight by the shoe storage?

If any of my stuff is missing it’s usually something to do with the teen dds.
To be fair to them they usually ask and I tell them they’re welcome to borrow stuff, all they need to do is bring it back when they’re done or let me know if they finish anything up!
Although I’m guessing you don’t have teens otherwise they would have been your first thought 😂
I don’t own slippers but they are definitely the kind of thing a dog would hide somewhere.

So, post on MN, go into kitchen and look upwards..

Find slippers!

A visiting dog had weed on my floor and I'd stood in it so they were on the radiator drying for the last two days. Off to read your suggestions now as I'm sure they will be excellent.

That's the best way to find anything. You decide you can't be arsed to look for them anymore and you do something else and tada** there they are

BirthdayRainbow · 29/01/2024 16:17

I'll remember that for next time. Thank you!

Had to be something to do with the dog!

Glad you've found them @BirthdayRainbow 🥿🥿

It was a happy day in my house when my 13 year old sons feet got too big for my slippers & he stopped nicking them

BirthdayRainbow · 29/01/2024 21:31

I can relate. 😂

BirthdayRainbow · 30/01/2024 07:43

My son's feet are bigger than mine but he wears them anyway, squashing down the backs!

I will tell you where your slippers are only when you tell me where my spare car keys are! 😀

BirthdayRainbow · 30/01/2024 15:19

Kitchen drawer.
Coat pocket.
Bottom of your handbag.
Bag with your shopping in it.

Good luck 🗝️🔑
