To string DH up by his balls...

[minionmadness]

Just been up into attic today to get tree and decorations down for the dc to decorate. Tree is there but no decorations.

They were in a box clearly labelled Christmas decorations... gone! There is another box with a "for the tip" label which I asked DH to take when he went.

It's looking like he taken the wrong box to the tip and he's on a works do tonight so can't ask him, well I can but I am fuming and would probably spoil his night. The dc are upset, I'm trying to make light of it but I am seething.

I know we can buy more, but there were lots of ones that the dc have made over the years and some which my mum gave me before she died.

I am really bloody angry and feel like ringing him to get himself home and find them... I won't!

Dangle his balls on a tree.
Then put them into perspex plastic crates for future years so he can see what's in the boxes and not make the same mistake next year.

Just get some new decorations OP! Yes, he made a mistake. Yes, you are pissed off. It's not worth having a big row over a box of Christmas tat though! Go out with the DCs today and let them choose some new stuff. Sorted.

Allow yourself to be very upset that the sentimental decorations are missing then set about buying some more and get your dc on a decoration fest between now and Christmas Day

My DH threw away my childhood doll because "she looked tatty" - she wasn't a common one and over 35 years old!!! Fortunately I found one on ebay a couple of years later and had kept the clothes and pram to go with her. She doesn't have the right hair cut though

I missed the bit about the sentimental stuff, OP, sorry if I sounded insensitive. It's still not worth getting worked up over though because you can't get them back.
