Elsa's fucking shoe

95 replies

I have just spent an HOUR looking for Elsa's missing shoe. It's only the 27th and it's already cost me an hour. I now have both shoes. Would I be unreasonable to glue the fuckers on, or hide them until she's old enough to find them herself?!?

(in case anyone is in a similar predicament, it was in the basket on the front of the hideous pink bike bloody Santa Claus got her for Christmas).

Lasted until about 6pm before gluing Elsa's shoes on. I didn't know who Elsa was until Christmas morning.

Dd has a mountain of stuff that are all little pieces. None that can be glued.

How do I get play doh out of carpets.

DD's Merida doll has been missing a shoe for about 6 months. I can't find it anywhere but I figure that's ok since she's the sort of princess who wouldn't be bothered by that anyway.

Lego is the work of the devil, I shit you not, I'm sure if we met the person who thought that up they would have horns and everything GrinGrin

There are a lot of toy designers having a laugh at all our expenses right now.

Our elsa didn't come with shoes and I think it was supposed too but I am so so thankful to the person who packed it wrong GrinGrin

Play doh - try Ice,if you freeze It, it should go brittle and you can pull it out.

I read this thinking you meant Elsa 'Dress Up shoes' for your daughter.

I was about to say yabvvvu to superglue shoes to your child's feet Shock

To be honest, if I had to spend an hour looking for her shoes, I probably would superglue them to her feet....

Thank you, it's all out now.

I have just spent an hour putting all the aquabeads back into the correct colour compartments. surely it would not have been difficult to design a pot with a lid to keep the bloody beads in

that's how I feel about the contents of party bags... it all goes in the bin before it even gets in the house... she's yet to notice Grin

FFSletmenamechange they aren't on her feet, but separate in the box. They are blue sparkly shoes stuck to a blue sparkly background, due to dome really clever thinking. You probably threw them out with packaging you lucky thing Grin

This post gives me the heebie jeebies. I am awful about lost things. The more inconsequential the more they bother me it would seem.

DS has the ELC wooden garage and he we lost the barriers. They were found in the zipped up cover of the floor cushion. From that point on I have glued all small things in place as I refuse to wake at 3am thinking 'I know where that is, I'll just check...'.

Super glue is 100% your friend.

TantricShift · 27/12/2014 16:00

Oh man this thread was meant for me. I have just hoovered up one of Elsa's shoes and am about to search the hoover bag for it. Not even sure where the other one is mind you so it may be a pointless exercise. You know I have to do it though!!!!

unlucky83 · 27/12/2014 16:37

fuckwittery - its like kittie says I hate not knowing where something is - even if it minor ...I wake up in the night and get up to look - it plays on my mind....I do have a problem.
The only time it has ever come in handy was when I lost £80 cash ...wasn't even sure when I'd mislaid it - looked everywhere. In desperation, more to put my mind at rest than anything I phoned the police lost property - and it had been handed in - by someone I know Smile

unlucky - you certainly have the wrong username for this thread! Someone is really honest to turn in that much cash, well done them!

I know I was amazed ...it is someone really lovely anyway and they refused to let me give them anything as a thank you ...
I felt a bit guilty if it hadn't been claimed (in theory -if the police were honest) they would have got it and I think they deserved it more than I did for being so careless...

ChristmasPuddin · 27/12/2014 19:33

There's nothing else for it - deploy the Kragle.

Tryharder · 27/12/2014 19:48

I thought you meant dress up shoes for an Elsa costume as well and was a bit Shock at the prospect of actually super gluing shoes to your child's feet.

I spent nearly an hour on Xmas Day looking for DC2's DS charger only to read the box and discover the fucking DS wasn't even supplied with a charger....

Kitsandkids · 27/12/2014 21:36

My 5 year old has lost the robber from his Lego set. I've told him he can't open his other set until it has been found, but I think I might have to go back on that as he and I have searched high and low and it's nowhere to be found! It is really annoying me that it was lost on the very first day he had it!

Bulbasaur · 27/12/2014 21:43

I bet they are in their 20s, and have spare time for things like hobbies, and drinking in pubs, and sex.

LOL!! Grin Grin

Lambzig · 27/12/2014 21:46

I spent an hour searching my friend's flat for Elsa's fucking shoe this morning before we left (I thought by the title of this it might be my friend complaining about my Obsessive behaviour ruining her morning). DH also spent half an hour.

We did not find it.

DD in tears as she shares my slight obsessiveness about keeping things as a set

we spent so long looking for the shoe that we left Spider-Man behind and DS is inconsolable.

Unlucky, I am with you, I will lose sleep thinking about where it might be and may text friend if I think of somewhere good (she owes me as I found several Barbie shoes her DD thought were gone forever). I am trying to stop myself buying a new one and super glueing the shoes now.

DaftSkunk · 27/12/2014 21:49

Elsa in our house was barefoot within an hour on Christmas Day and her shoes put in a safe place. I'm sure there's not a bother on her as she doesn't mind the cold so she likes to keep telling us and telling us, and then telling us some more.

We have lost a head of one of the lego superheroes though Sad.
