I have lost a phone case .. empited all the wardrobes ... no bloody idea!!

Last year Santa brought DD2 an Ikea play kitchen.

I still don't know what happened to the little utensil set we bought with it. :o

It was definitely in the house, I think it might have fallen down the back of the wardrobe where there is a floorboard missing. But I don't even remember putting it in that wardrobe. Confused

exploding kittens - where the fuck is it!!!!

I bought tickets to a show in London months before Xmas for dp and I. When they didn't arrive and I hadn't been charged or received any emails, I presumed I hadn't booked them at all and had been victim to a strange baby blur moment. Luckily I hadn't been organised to book the hotel and flight at the same time. This was last year, they arrived in the post a couple of weeks ago as I didn't notice the year when booking and it is actually Jan 2016!!!
Now I am last minute trying to book everything!!

A blue parrot (complete with feathers, quite realistic - bought it for a fiver to go with box set of Python DVDs).

On the positive side, found Lego Wall-E and my passport...

Pipbin · 24/12/2015 00:20

I clicked the link to see the inflatable Jesus and accidentally hit 'buy it now'!
I think I cancelled in time!!

I 'tided' some lovely Christmas Yankee candles earlier in the year that I had left over from last Christmas. Do you think I can fine the wee shites? I can smell the fuckers in the cupboard where I last saw them but I can't find them anywhere.

Bettercallsaul1 · 24/12/2015 00:22

Ah, the fondly remembered Norwegian Blue, Clobbered. Remarkable bird - beautiful plumage! Grin

NinaSimoneful · 24/12/2015 00:32

Wind up bath toys for DDs stocking! Blush

Bettercallsaul1 · 24/12/2015 00:39

It's so infuriating - all these things normally turn up at Easter. (Suppose you could still use the inflatable Jesus?)

MyFriendGoo52 · 24/12/2015 01:19

Even wirse, during my hunt for this years presents i'm wading through all the shite from previous years that's barely been looked at. Ah well, t'is the season to waste money Hmm

Kindle case. Kindle is charged and loaded and I wanted to wrap it in its case rather than in the box but I'm buggered if I can find it. So I can't wrap the kindle till I do Xmas Angry

I like the review on the inflatable Jesus

'Had one of these but it got punctured (holes in hands and feet), put it in the bin and 3 days later it was fully inflated and floated up into the sky, never to be seen again.'

Junosmum · 24/12/2015 09:16

Was getting some Tupperware out of the cupboard yesterday and found a wallet I'd bought for dh. Totally forgot about it!

My mum would do this all the time when we were kids, we'd often get little gifts mid Jan when she found them again!

Chapsie · 24/12/2015 09:19

I've done well - I've found an extra present with the others that I can't remember buying or who I bought it from! Grin

pineapplecrush · 24/12/2015 09:24

I've lost three stockings for my relative's dogs!! Could be worse! Found DH's posh Crabtree and Evelyn shaving set in the spare room wardrobe when looking for sandals last June. Hoping Good Boy choc drops have a longish eat by date .........

theelephantknownasnell · 24/12/2015 09:36

Yesterday was searching for Lego dimensions packs x2 for dd

A novelty mug for dh

A massive dolls house for other dd, no idea how I lost that one.

Flumplet · 24/12/2015 09:38

Oh I did this with a batman action figure and 2 Groupon vouchers I was searching like a mad woman at 11pm last night!! All located now though but have run out of wrapping paper - one of our Xmas traditions evidently!

theelephantknownasnell · 24/12/2015 09:41

Found while searching for misplaced stuff 2 art sets which I bought so long ago I forgot all about them.

YouTheCat · 24/12/2015 09:41

Dd got an inflatable Jesus in her Christmas stocking last year. He's currently sitting on the window sill keeping the religious callers at bay. Very effective! Grin

I haven't lost any presents as I try to sort them into different bags for each recipient when I buy them.

I'm not sure where my table cloth is though.

ElviraCondomine · 24/12/2015 09:45

I have all the presents.
However yesterday I thought it would be nice to watch a particular DVD. Went online to buy it. Apparently we already own it. Asked DC. They claim I bought it last year and lost it. I have no recollection of this at all. Oh well.

ophiotaurus · 24/12/2015 09:49

Two minions bubble baths for the stockings. I had to go out and buy spongebob ones instead yesterday.

Theresatrexinmybed · 24/12/2015 09:54

Sonic the hedgehog PS3 game
Jurassic world dvd

I've had them hidden in the car for weeks so I knew where they were, bought them up the other day and I'll be buggered if I can find them.

hefzi · 24/12/2015 13:52

My DM was notorious for this: things would be appearing from the back of wardrobes for months after Christmas.

Thank you so much for the inflatable Jesus link, though - one of my favourite Christmas presents ever was a nodding Jesus: sadly he got lost in a move, and I've never been able to find another. But an inflatable Jesus? That might just hit the spot!

Caboodle · 24/12/2015 14:04

Fisher Price toy for niece....have given up and bought her something else. There was something else with it....cannot remember what though.
