Last seen friday/Saturday. Small bridge with one front tooth and 2 side teeth. Have turned the house upside down and he's rooted through 2 bin bags... So where are they or... Who has them????

Down the back of the radiators, in the laundry basket, the washing machine (check the liner) or tumble drier, in the recycling, in the shoe box or toy box.

Or more obviously, dressing gown pocket

On top of the bathroom cabinet? Inside wellies? Car glove compartment? On top of fridge? Bicycle pannier? Under the sink? The drawer full of bits and bobs in the kitchen? Under a pile of clothes/towels waiting to be put away? In your handbag?

Sex toy drawer in bedroom?

HotCrossBungle · 21/04/2020 10:21

Freezer

While your looking please find my glasses, missing since Thursday
Can’t find them anywhere.
Think they have gone out with the rubbish😞

Elouera · 21/04/2020 10:52

Sift everything inside the vacuum.

Our washing machine had a secret, little door at the bottom. (maybe they all do?). It often contains manky water, a grey, hairy thing but sometimes a surprise coin or bra wire! Have you checked in there?

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 21/04/2020 11:39

He's wandering round the house aimlessly looking sorry for himself!! 😂 😂 One issue this has raised is that he's now realised how dirty the skirting boards are so has given me that job 😢

How did your DH get on? Did he find his teeth?

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 28/04/2020 08:41

Sorry everyone, they're still MIA we have had the whole house upside down backwards and forwards left and right and we can't find them anywhere!!! 😂 😂 😂

Oh no and that won't be seen as urgent for the foreseeable future, it's bad enough if you can't have them for a week if they break

Saisong · 28/04/2020 09:41

I'll have a look in my son's room - every lost thing turns up there, he is a human magpie!

lynzpynz · 28/04/2020 09:43

Have you checked the fridge and freezer? My DF took them out to eat and got swept into the vegetable drawer somehow 😂! Other locations DF left his gnashers:

On top of toilet
In jacket pocket (after eating out)
In bathroom cabinet, see also bathroom bin
Shower soap tray
Underbed ottoman space (fell in via slats, took fecking days to discover whilst he gummily mumped about)

Good luck, my toddler has determined they are not in her Wellies if that's any help. Although we have found some elderly cheese.

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 28/04/2020 10:13

Thank you all so much for looking, its extremely appreciated, please carry on doing so coz we are at a complete loss and he's blamed everyone but himself for them going missing 😞

I have a partial denture for my front 2 teeth and I am terrified of losing them. When I have lost them in the past they are almost always near somewhere I've been eating or drinking. Or down the side of the bed/sofa. Always half hidden by me in the first place because I don't like to see them just sitting there. In a shirt pocket. Inside an old propped up birthday card on a shelf. Behind a vase. Almost in plain sight but not quite. Inside the box of chocolates I was eating. I would be a bit worried about the wrapped in a tissue & gone into a bin. I really hope he finds them.

RingtheBells · 28/04/2020 11:13

Yes I alway hide mine if I take them out as its not very nice seeing them there and I am also terrified of losing mine especially now, plus it is quite costly to replace them. They haven't dropped out his mouth have they if he has fell asleep on a chair and slipped down the side of cushion or rolled under chair or somewhere like that

pooopypants · 28/04/2020 11:19

They're with the ironing board that a PP lost (different thread)

Incidentally, and off topic, but WTF is a bedside bowl? Hmm

QueenArseClangers · 28/04/2020 11:59

@lynzpynz gummily mumped about Grin

Is this the new ‘boobing breastily?’

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 28/04/2020 12:04

😂😂😂 His bedside bowl isn't anything weird I promise!!! It's literally a bowl on his bedside table that he chucks random bits in eg paracetamol spare cigarette papers etc!! But they're definitely not in there. We've pulled all cushions off the furniture, pulled all chairs from the normal positions, beds been pulled out, we have a divan style but have checked the drawers, bins have been emptied and rummaged through at least twice. Pockets and washing machine checked, just at a complete loss, it is the biggest mystery since.. Well since the last big one! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

@QueenArseClangers I believe its a cross between that and bollockingly ballsy? Wink

DingDongDenny · 28/04/2020 12:17

Have you checked the dishwasher filter - maybe they were left on a plate and ended up in the dishwasher

Haffiana · 28/04/2020 12:24

Kitchen sink draining rack. That is where my DH loses his glasses, and has been doing so for 25 years. Only I can find them there. He cannot.

pennee · 28/04/2020 12:39

Washing machine- often find them there in work (work with older people), the often get out under the pillow and go in with the washing 😁

pennee · 28/04/2020 12:40

*Get put under the pillow

TroysMammy · 28/04/2020 12:44

Do they have a metal bit that could have become snagged on clothing? Have you checked every item of clothing in the wardrobe and in the drawers especially woollen jumpers?

VanWinkle13 · 28/04/2020 13:08

I lost my favourite lipstick. I was sure it was in my other handbag. I looked multiple times.

Finally, I decided I must have left it on my desk after I changed jobs so bought a replacement.

I then found it within weeks of buying the new one. In the sodding handbag.

My point, look everywhere again. Especially his crap bowl.
