Anyone feeling psychic who can help me find my glasses?

I woke up way too early this morning, so I went downstairs, had a drink and fed the cat before coming back upstairs for a nap.

I was reading on my phone, fell asleep and when I woke up my glasses were gone. Not on the bedside table where they live. I stripped the bed and changed the sheets. Pulled out the bed, checked all around...

I have my old spares on but they are 2 years old and not varifocals. I'm stumped and really frustrated with myself.

Any ideas where they could be?

They’ll be in the last place you look <helpful>

Cherrycola4 · 18/04/2025 19:43

Inside the pillowcase?

neverknowinglyunreasonable · 18/04/2025 19:44

I stole them and I won't be giving them back.

Interested in this thread?

Usually on my head.

notprincehamlet · 18/04/2025 19:47

Is the cat wearing them?

Catsinaflat · 18/04/2025 19:48

I think you left them downstairs - I take my glasses off to read my phone. If you got sleepy downstairs you may have forgotten you took them off there.

Cornflowers35 · 18/04/2025 19:50

Laundry basket (if you've not washed the bedding yet)

Washing machine if the bedding is in there

Cat moved them further under the bed

Where you got the bedding from

MaryGreenhill · 18/04/2025 19:51

Still on your head ? 😁

Redheadedstepchild · 18/04/2025 19:51

They're in the kitchen. You went downstairs, got yourself a drink whilst not properly awake, took them off to rub your eyes and now they are blending in to the background like some kind of optical instrument chameleon.

"Yes, but I was reading in bed!"

You took them off downstairs and put them into a cupboard where cat’s food was. 🐈

No, I pulled the pillowcase off to check. :(

I once found my glasses in the hood of the hoodie I was wearing. Must have knocked them off the top of my head where they were perched. Looked for the bloody things for ages.

Have you checked through all the bedding you’ve taken off? Stuck between the mattress and the headboard/footboard…?

MarkingBad · 18/04/2025 19:52

behind the headboard or having fallen down between pillow and mattress, I'd look under the bed too

I did get sleepy downstairs, and the cat was on me and I remember waiting for her to get off my lap so I could go back to bed. So maybe I did leave them downstairs.

That's usually where mine can be found, 15mins after looking for them 😁

SirQuintusAurelius · 18/04/2025 19:54

On the floor down behind the head of the bed or between bed and sidetable/wall. Have you moved the bed to check?

UnhappyAndYouKnowIt · 18/04/2025 20:00

I did pull out the bed, looked between the bed and the wall, detached the headboard in case it was stuck...

I shook out all the bedding in case it was caught.

I looked on the cat...

Ask St Anthony

He’s absolutely WONDERFUL

NonnyNun · 18/04/2025 20:03

On top of the bread bin.

ErrolTheDragon · 18/04/2025 20:03

were you wearing anything with pockets? I quite often shove my reading glasses in my dressing gown pocket when I go down to make tea.

lifeisgoodrightnow · 18/04/2025 20:05

In the fridge with the milk

NonnyNun · 18/04/2025 20:07

I once found mine in the folded up hem of a pair of jeans. Presumably I had been walking around with them in there all day like a joey pouch!

UnhappyAndYouKnowIt · 18/04/2025 20:08

I do have pockets but they're empty. I did check the fridge too 🤣. I feel like I've checked everywhere. I'm going to go through the bin bag from when I emptied the bedroom bin and see if they could have gone in there.

I have found 48 hair bands and 2 claw clips, though.

On top of the fridge or microwave

in the bathroom because you went to the toilet and then splashed your face when you washed your hands

On the back or arm of where you were reading downstairs.

Underneath the chair you were reading on

ThisPithyJoker · 18/04/2025 20:10

Did you nip to the loo? Are they next to the bathroom sink?
