where has all my cutlery gone?

[drlove8]

im very very confused ..... i suspect i have a gremlin who is eating my forks and tea-spoons . i keep buying more and still they go missing .... it must be a very hungry gremlin.
i have also taken to searching the bin before it is taken out.

how can a hole have a colour? they don't exist!

no i ment black as in dirty (scottish slang)- black hole = dirty fanjo

sorry, sheep-shagger here
never heard that before.

oh god - its even worse now ive explained it! - wheres scottishmummy when i need her?

Have you looked in the tool box?

I'm sure we have nearly every screwing/wrenching device known to man - yet still the knives get used to turn screws..

ARGH!!!

(we need an ARGH!! emoticon...something with hair standing straight on end or something )

you have a sheep-shagger eating/stealing your cutlery? - that is bad.

lol purpleduck.

that is no longer the case here.

We have an electric screw driver and as it is a man-toy he will use that rather than eating implements.now, at any rate.

I'm welsh, that's what I meant.

allowed

it's a male right-of-passage. One Xmas he must get a DIY tool.

every xmas, one male or another gets something along those lines.

i defo dont have cutlery in the tool box, .... but strangely we do have a hammer and some philips screwdrivers in the tea-towel drawer and a monkey wrench sitting on the kitchen window sill...... that'd be DH plumbing in a washing machine.
come to think of it ...the old one was making some funny noises ??????

oh yes purple - men lurve tools! - some of them are tools , but most just like collecting them. sort of a mans version of how a little boy collects toy cars/football card ect.

drlove8 - family of 10?!
I shall make you a trophy made of cutlery

drlove8-yep I have the same problem, with forks especially . Just as a matter of interest (family of six), how many odd socks have you?

In the dog bed?

My dog pinches forks off the worktop and hides them in her bed.

Your cutlery will be with my teaspoons. Dh thought I was nuts when we went food shopping and among the shopping I brought 20 teaspoons.

My forks have dissapeared to. I thought DD2 must have had a hord og f them in her room, But she found one when I asked and has now gone off to uni and I've cleared her room. No sighns of any forks.

I was tidying up my 14 year old DS's room (annual expedition, not a regular thing!) and found an active scientific experiment in his bedside table drawer - mouldy, empty tin of custard with several spoons stuck to it. Yuk, yuk, yuk! Made him clear it out, spoons have been through dishwasher twice now so am hoping they are safe to use.

Look under the bed too!

lol at dog bed stripey

so the cutlery gremlin must be a sort of anti-santa then? instead of visiting everyones house and leaving pressies , this little fecker sneaks in and gobbles up the forks and spoons!
dont have a dog- bed , have no dog! mabey the fish has knicked them.
have a million odd socks - refuse to throw them away ,in case the missing one shows up..... never happened yet.
just did a quick count of knifes .... have 26..... so im missing 20 forks ! and more tea spoons since i bought extra (and not just sets).
am away to search deapest darkest corners of the boys room ..... if im not back in 3 days ,send rescue !

When my boys clear table, half the time they bin the cutlery with any leftovers. theya re now relegated to Wilkinson's CHeapest.

Mind, as children we dined with a selection of Butlins and County Council cutlery- aprents swore they bought it but yeah, right! (they alsopicked up beer glasses in parks, sterilised them and kept them).

SO perhaps my parents have everyone's cutlery? Wuldn't surprise TBH

My Mum- the Cutlery Gremlin!

pmsl @ donotpress!
ive got a clepto -granny like that - but its tea pots and milk jugs that you get in little cafe`s (small metal ones)

Do you have cats? My cats are definitely responsible for hiding all missing whimwhams. We suspect them of burying them in the garden.
