To ask why the one thing i need is never there?

[inloominotnorti]

Looking for some cream which has always been in the drawer. Is it there? No!

Need a tac which has always been in xxxx place. Of course, it's gone!

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Because you don't put things back. Or... you are married.

It'll turn up again when you don't need it. In fact there'll be 2 of them next to each other just to piss you off even more.

For the same reason that there are never any bras in my size in the shop - pixies see me coming, and hide them all (bloody magical little buggers). Since I don't bra shop very often, they moonlight in other people's houses, hiding stuff they need.

Sorry.

That's exactly what I mean neil! I'm glad it doesn't just happen to me!

lol SDT ahhh those be the pixies that know I'm saving for a dress then make sure it sells out the day before payday!

So true Neil
Always happens. Or when you throw away something that hasn't been used in years and then all of a sudden you find a hundred uses for it.

Yep - those are the little buggers, inloominotnorti.

Nail clippers. It's a conspiracy.

Under the sofa neil?

I'm off to buy some tacs

Of course, I'll find the originals tomorrow! When I don't need them any more....

Welcome to my theory of 'The Black Hole' which every house possesses... Into said Hole leaps the small item (keys, scissors, sun cream, theatre tickets etc etc) that you are looking for. It hides there, giggling to itself, watching you rushing around and getting fraught - and then when you have left the room (usually to dash to the shop to buy a replacement) it saunters back out and lies, whistling nonchalantly, on the nearest table, shelf or mantelpiece, so that it is the first thing that you see when you re-enter the room....
Co-incidence - I think not.....!!

i found my black hole! there is a small hole in the sofa and everything has fallen down there from nail clippers to money to pens! I'm sure the sofa is amused :)
