AIBU to be so worried?

We had to move out of our rented house at the weekend due to landlord selling up, so we moved into my mums. All good, mum and DP get on great so no issues there. DP is on night shifts starting tonight but said he'd go to the house to clear up any last bits, do a tip run and pack the few remaining bits and bobs up. Sent him a text to remind him to take down the hanging baskets and to put a couple of massive planters in his van - no response. Mum messaged him to say she'd got him some lunch - no response. I've tried calling about 5 times, have left a message and a couple of texts to say that I was a bit worried so could he get in touch. He's never out of touch for long, has no form for being a dick, usually checks in (his choice) a few times a day by text because his work plans often change during the day. He told me he was going back to mums about 3.30 to get showered and then leave for a night shift a fair bit away from where we live. Mum's just messaged to say he hasn't been home and his work clothes are still laid out in the spare room.

WWYD? I'm at work until 5.30 and a good hour's drive away.

Oh OP, I'd be worried too. Hope there's a simple explanation!

DailyMailAreAFuckingJoke · 23/05/2016 19:50

Hope you're OK OP. YANBU - I'd be climbing the bloody walls by now.

Have you tried all of his mates, family, work acquaintances etc.? Really hope he turns up soon Flowers

Sore for the delay, I have an update and it's really boring. He picked up the few bits from the house and took them to the storage unit, when he opened the doors, everything just came pouring out! Unbeknown to me, he'd gone to pick my brother up to go and sort it out, left his phone in the van and totally lost track of time. He rang me about 5.45 when he finally got to his phone and was very apologetic. Mum said he arrived back here covered in shite from all his tools that he had to get back in unit.

Thank you for all the hand holding, I'm sorry it was so boring but also kind of glad it was so boring Smile
