Where would you hide a wallet? It's definitely in the house so no need to cancel cards but I've searched everywhere!!!!

It's not fun and pushing a week without it now.

My 2 year old just says "banana" when I ask Grin

Glad you found it, I was going to suggest inside the scatter cushions on the sofa if they can undo zips. It's amazing what I've found in there.

In a bandana but your child can't say it 😆

DS enjoyed putting DH’s wallet in the bin, and the car keys in the washing machine!

I used to post stuff thru the letterbox from inside to outside

I’m glad it’s been found. In our house it’s always the Tupperware drawer.

Back in the day it would definitely have been posted into the video player. Glad to hear it's been found.

you: 'where's my wallet?'

toddler: [by wallet do you mean] 'Banana?' [I know where that is]

Mine went missing just before we went on holiday for a week, in August 😠

I looked everywhere. I thought I had misplaced it.

It turned up 2 weeks ago. It was hidden in the back of the sofa. Not down the cushions... He went to the back of the sofa where there are some flappy bits of fabric and hid it in there...... 😑

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ why?!

My 4 year old “hides” stuff and forgets where he has put things. Missing this week was his 11th doctor sonic screwdriver, his wellies, his school book project thing, his brothers favourite raggie and my husbands wallet.
Sonic - found in the glove box of my car (apparently stuffed in there one morning when we were getting ready for school)
Wellies - in the washing machine. (They were muddy from forest school - fair enough)
School project thing - under his brothers cot
Raggie - stuffed into the big ones pillowcase
Wallet - pushed into his toy ATM.....have you checked toys??

In the washing machine

Glad its been found OP. I took the advice to offer a present for the one who finds it for my lost keys. Guess what? It was My DH too! I’ve been hunting high and low all week for them and like the DCs he only helped look once there was an incentive. They were in a pocket of a spare coat! I told him his orsent for finding them was me not tearing him limb from limb!

thigh I've never thought about pushing the stain out not in before. You've blown my mind a bit actually.

Mine likes to hid things in his toy kitchen

But did find a banana skin jammed in the letter box

I bet your toddler has been thinking “I can’t believe she hasn’t tidied up that bloody banana skin. I told her about it days ago. Shocking.”
