To ask you to find my missing...

[TheRealProfessorYaffle]

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.

No idea where yours is but this thread has made me realise my son left my vibrating one in Barcelona! ffs!

Blanket chest/ottoman

Your son never liked it and thought he was too mature now at 9 to be using a velour travel pillow. He secretly dropped it over a fence in the Lake District.

If Saint Anthony fails you, however unlikely that seems, order a new one from Amazon and you'll get it in time for hols on Thursday.

Stuffed in a rarely used backpack? That's where ours was!

In a bag for life that's stuffed inside other bags for life

In a drawer under some t shirts

Do you have a dog (with an outside kennel)?
Do you have a cat (that steals things)?

Looked in all the rucksacks. Checked the wellies and coats, checked the hat and gloves box, checked the ottoman, checked beside bedroom chair. Think son yeeting it across Lake Windermere may be the most likely option.

We do have a cat that steals things.

My cat stashed a lot of loot behind the sofa. We found a 4 pack of toilet rolls once.

Not with the t-shirts. Dammit. It was an overpriced £15 spent on a whim at a motorway service station. I begrudge the money. Going back to the car because I don't trust husband. He's doing the loft because apparently he doesn't trust me. Cock. Clearly it's reasonable for me to doubt him.

Still not in the car. Okay folks. Calling this one quits. We don't have a massive house and it clearly isn't here. Must be on it's travels in the big outdoors. Farewell overpriced pillow bought on a brief yen to be Mum of the year when then 7 year old saw it and wanted it.

In the place you keep all your scarves

Side pockets of bags

It’s not round the neck of a cuddly toy is it? Maybe a yellow Pikachu?

In the bathroom with the first aid kit

Do you have a secret lift-up compartment in your car boot? I had my car 5 years before I discovered mine

When you find it a you have a look for my Nintendo Switch. One of my kids borrowed it and now it’s nowhere to be found 🙄

have you looked in the toy boxes?

It's right at the back of the airing cupboard (where the odd socks hide)

At the bottom of the laundry basket (or your son's laundry basket if he's got one)

I hate losing things. I'm still puzzled about our Christmas decorations that disappeared in 1996.

Dh still reckons it was the plumber who was in the loft doing something to the water tank that summer.

It's quite smart nicking Xmas decs in the summer if you think about it. A crime that won't be discovered until early December.

Anyway, have you checked the Christmas decorations boxes, op?

Buy a replacement. Then it will turn up!

You’ve dropped it behind the sofa.

It's in the outside pocket of the large suitcase.
