So far this week I have lost in the house(which is tiny)
A phone charger
Three lids to dd2's bottles
A yellow lion
dd2's friendship necklace
My mind looking for the above.

Ahhhh I thought we had a black hole in ours, but maybe its the Borrowers, mmmmmm.

Either that or very enterprising mice with a black market in human objectsSmile

Nahhh. It's the house piskies.

Just ask very loudly (and very politley) for the offending item to be returned. It will appear in a place you have searched at least twice.

My Mum swears by this (so it must be true!)

It's the kids
They take things and give them to the little people

Oh! I have Borrowers in my classroom.
They do exist - it's a fact.
They use my staples to make ....stuff... and steal my pencils.
Either they really exist ..... or I am utterly disorganised. And clearly I am not disorganised Grin

purveyor I might just try that I have moved furniture looking for the lion as obviously it would be dd2's sleep aid!And several times I have said to Mum when she visits "I have lost so and so" and she will look somewhere I have already checked and find the offending article, it might be a Grandma thing Smile

YANBU! Or perhaps you, or certain others in your home do too much tidying up?
