Travel neck pillow. It's my nine year old son's and we need it to go on holiday on Thursday. It's blue (kind of teal), slightly velour-y feeling, with a black plastic clip on it. We last took it to the Lake District in August, but we're pretty certain it came back. All of us feel we've seen it recently, but God in Govan, we cannot lay hands on it. My daughter feels like it's near something yellow. We've turned the house over looking for it. Any suggestions welcome.

Car, under the seat

In a suitcase

Wherever you keep all the soft toys

DollyDaydream78 · 21/10/2023 20:41

Bottom of the wardrobe

TheRealProfessorYaffle · 21/10/2023 20:44

Right, sent husband to look in the car. Very unlikely and he's already huffing, but I told him you don't diss the good women of Mumsnet when they offer advice.
Have looked in all wardrobes, and am going to do a second look at the soft toys.

In a travel suitcase? It's where I found mine

Avacadoandtoast · 21/10/2023 20:45

Beside or in a suitcase!

Avacadoandtoast · 21/10/2023 20:46

Or in the linen closet

autumnpumpkinlattes · 21/10/2023 20:46

Loft

RoseAndRose · 21/10/2023 20:46

Has anyone been ill and languishing on the sofa since your return?
If so, where did they strew it?

Mammma91 · 21/10/2023 20:47

In a hold-all come to Lake District? Check alllll
bags/suitcases etc that travelled with you. Also check behind the couch, all missing items end up behind my couch for some reason!

Stella123456 · 21/10/2023 20:47

It’s with toys or with ironing type stuff

3orstickto2 · 21/10/2023 20:49

Airing cupboard

MarathonBarbie · 21/10/2023 20:49

Mine was down the side of a Kallax behind the yoga mat…..unlikely to be the same but you never know!

TheRealProfessorYaffle · 21/10/2023 20:53

Ok, daughter checking beside my yoga mat. Not in car. No behind sofa. Not used when ill. Off to check the ironing pile, which admittedly probably houses Shergar, Lord Lucan, and Ritchie from the Manic Street Preachers

On top of the wardrobe.
Under the bed.
In a suitcase
With your holiday clothes or sun hats
In a travel bag/holdall you only use for holidays

TheRealProfessorYaffle · 21/10/2023 20:54

All suitcases empty and lying awaiting packing. We take camping stuff in big shopping bags though. Will go check there.

TheRealProfessorYaffle · 21/10/2023 20:55

Daughter returns. Not in ironing pile, but I think the search was traumatic.

It's on the windowsill in the spare room.

That's where I found my long-lost one.

TheRealProfessorYaffle · 21/10/2023 20:56

Under beds clear, although my daughter should be damn well ashamed of the state we found under hers. That's her Sunday morning activity sorted.

TheRealProfessorYaffle · 21/10/2023 20:57

Not on windowsill in spare room. Will try loft again.

Is it with your travel wash bag?

AdaColeman · 21/10/2023 20:58

In the cloakroom, stuffed down the sleeve of a rarely worn coat or in a wellie.

In son's school sports kit box.

Jammed down the side of the settee.

Jonnycakes · 21/10/2023 20:58

Don’t forget to say a prayer to St Anthony. He might bring it back for you 😉

MissingMoominMamma · 21/10/2023 20:58

It’s fallen off the chair in your bedroom. Just look down the side.

CatMattress · 21/10/2023 20:58

In the box where the spare anoraks/walking boots/woolly hats go.

Or, conversely, the summer stuff you've now put away for the year

Tellmeallthestories · 21/10/2023 20:58

With the travel towels

With the swimming gear

In the shed
