Where are my slippers?

I went away for 2 weeks at the beginning of April. On my return my slippers are nowhere to be found.

I love my slippers. They are purple felt and have moulded to my feet perfectly. They are wonderful and comfortable and most importantly, they keep my frozen toes a fraction of a degree above frostbite. I didn’t take them with me. This was my first mistake.

Nobody has seen my slippers. Everyone has denied seeing them. The dog has been interrogated and passed a lie detector.

Where. Are. My. Slippers?

Ate you the same person who misplaced their ironing board? You took your slippers with you on holiday and left them there. Or your neighbour with a fluffy fetish has got them

Under the sofa? Under the bed? Still in the legs of some pyjamas?

floraloctopus · 11/05/2019 19:40

In the same place as my television remote control. When you find it please let me know.

My god they sound exactly like my slippers. Purple, felt moulded to foot shape. It wasn't me though I would never steal another's slippers. Good luck though as I'd be hacked off if my purple beauties went AWOL.

Were your much loved slippers actually old and disgusting?
My Stepdad waited until mum (78 then) was away before binning hers (he wasn’t being cheeky, they were hanging by threads and a terrible tripping hazard on the stairs). He denied all knowledge of them. She still talks about them (2 Christmasses ago).

Obviously I am not unreasonable but this has high level importance.

In a washing basket.

Outside the back door. Remember when you went to put the bins out and the grass was all wet, you had just done the kitchen floor and didn’t want it getting all dirty again so you left them outside?

They are still there.

StayAChild · 11/05/2019 19:59

This happened to me.
So, where did you last see them? Did you have them on just before you left for holiday?
In my case, I travelled in some holiday shoes that I keep in a shoe rack upstairs in my wardrobe, and accidentally put my slippers back in the holiday shoe rack. Normally they live in the utility near the back door.

@MolyHolyGuacamole I forgot about that thread, did she ever find the ironing board?

MolyHolyGuacamole · 11/05/2019 20:12

@ZippyBungleandGeorge just had a quick google, no updates!

WisestIsShe · 11/05/2019 20:15

It was definitely the dog. Interrogate properly!

Wigeon · 11/05/2019 20:16

My lost slippers were recently found buried in the box with hats, scarves, gloves, sun hats etc etc by the front door...

Greeborising · 11/05/2019 20:18

Just pictured the dog with a toothpick dislodging little balls of pink fluff

BastardMozzies · 11/05/2019 20:20

It’s most strange. Tomorrow i am going to look properly, rather than saying at regular intervals ‘ where are mybloody slippers?’ And nobody answering. . I love my slippers. My toes are cold.

I want to know what make these comfortable slippers are please.

Could they be under the bed? Mine often get pushed under the bed.

hazell42 · 11/05/2019 20:49

Not in the least bit helpful, but I lost a pair of thick, totally shapeless, grey bed socks in the cinema (don't ask). I know that they are in the lost property box, but I am too embarrassed to ask for them back.
Damn! I loved those bloody socks.

Blueeyesdarkhair · 11/05/2019 20:53

Under the sofa, or my DS has put them on and walked off in them like he does with mine ALL THE TIME Grin

BastardMozzies · 11/05/2019 21:17

I’ve checked the obvious places. I suspect foul play.

In the box with the Christmas decorations.... I found one of the house phone handsets in there, having answered the phone while putting them away 2 months before.

happinessischocolate · 11/05/2019 22:22

St Anthony put them somewhere ask him where they are

venusandmars · 11/05/2019 22:36

If I find your slippers will you please tell me where my glasses are....

southbucks77 · 11/05/2019 23:14

In your daughter’s bedroom. She borrowed them because her feet were cold and she wanted to put on big slippers.

Or in my daughter’s bedroom! She steals!

Wherever the carving knife is that disappeared from the kitchen worktop a few months ago..
