To think I'm NFI'd

to the party that the odd socks, hair clips and sistema bottle lids have buggered off to?

The little b*stards are laughing at me somewhere

YANBU.

Then pens and tupperware box lids here have though. Bastards.

TeenageMutantNinjaTurtle · 05/05/2014 09:03

We have a strict Tupperware lid curfew here. They don't get to go out without calling home every hour to tell me where they are.

I'd like to know how the dummies got an invite through. I bet it came with a poem.

I keep hoping they'll all stagger home at some point and I can give them what for.

Anyone lacking lids want to do some swapping? I've got approx one million tupper lids and no blardy bott

monkeymamma · 05/05/2014 09:10

Bottoms!

meditrina · 05/05/2014 09:14

Every pen in my house must have joined them. And emery boards get invited from time to time too.

EverythingsDozy · 05/05/2014 09:31

Not sure what NFI'd is (something something invited?) but I always get the impression that when I lose something, it is hiding and laughing at me looking for it. Like my house and car keys that went missing before my DD was 1 (she is now 3.5!)

Pens are averse to telephones - we all know that!

Anyone missing any teaspoons? They're having a party in my cutlery drawer. They appeared overnight and have bred and multiplied since.

I'm with you on the Tupperware, though. I had a full set of boxes that stacked neatly inside each other. I now have 2 boxes and loads of tiny ones that are neither use nor ornament.

Lorelei353 · 05/05/2014 09:45

our teaspoons! That's where they've gone?

mumofboyo · 05/05/2014 09:49

Yes! We have hundreds and I've no idea where they came from Confused

Cornettoninja · 05/05/2014 09:57

Oo I know the answer for teaspoons - anyone in the house work somewhere with a shared kitchen?

I commented at work how the teaspoons always disappear and bold as brass one lady piped up 'I know, I have loads at home because I take one from the kitchen at lunch time and it ends up in my lunch box'.

My flabber was truly ghasted. I'm a coffee drinker, I need a fricking teaspoon!

AlpacaLypse · 05/05/2014 10:01

Anyone seen at least three pairs of tweezers and two pairs of nail scissors raving it up?

AntiDistinctlyMinty · 05/05/2014 10:06

The dummies have definitely had an invite here. I bet they're bouncing around on their smug little teats, laughing while I crawl around on my hands and knees looking for them Angry

There also seems to be some sort of mug convention happening in the cupboard if anyone's missing some?

EverythingsDozy · 05/05/2014 10:08

I also have a mug convention going on here. I swear they breed because every time I go in my cupboard it seems more full. Maybe it's more of a mug orgy than convention.

maddening · 05/05/2014 10:32

you have to listen on pirate radio for the locations of these types of parties.

Fifilosttheplot · 05/05/2014 10:53

My garden string is having a high old time looping it up around someone's garden somewhere, along with a load of odd gardening and left handed rubber gloves, I'm only left with the useless right handed ones.

Guiltypleasures001 · 05/05/2014 11:09

My Pyrex and plastic jugs together with my fave all time paring knife went the way of the green house. I loved that knife was the right weight and size for my hand, to peel all manner of spuds and veg, does the garden not know how hard it is to get used to a new one?

TeenageMutantNinjaTurtle · 05/05/2014 17:40

Fifi... If you turn half the right hand ones inside out, you'll have pairs again! That will show them!

middleagedspread · 05/05/2014 17:44

The sellotape goes partying in this house, every day.

RobotLover68 · 05/05/2014 17:45

hangers breed...

mumofboyo · 05/05/2014 17:47

I had to clean out the cutlery drawer yesterday and found 38 medicine spoons. All but two are now in the bin. I don't know what it is about that drawer and spoons but I'd love to join the party.

Ifyoubuildit · 05/05/2014 20:50

YY the medicine spoons breed like rabbits in this house too. That's got to be some party...

Hangers and medicine spoons definitely breed here, and now we have medicine syringes getting in on the action too.
I have dozens of plastic tubs with no lids and lids with no tubs, I'd love to know how that happens. And screwdrivers disappear regularly too. Must have a dozen of them in the house and still end up trying to use a knife to open a battery compartment.

WhateverHappenedToJasonStyles · 05/05/2014 21:00

The teaspoons are all in the compost.
The tupperware lids have fallen dowb the back of the tupperware drawer.
