So far I have lost:

Two packs of boxers
One battery pack
4 personalised stockings (the type for putting presents in, not the type for wearing)
2 huge dairy milk bars
the Christmas bedding

I thought I was so organised, with everything stored by recipient in bags in the big cupboard 😂

I'm still looking for one of my DD's gifts from last year. No idea where it went and I had to order another one for her! This year I mislaid a jewellery stand for my other DD. It did make an appearance eventually though.

Had a slight panic earlier when I couldn't find some tickets I'd bought for DH for an event in January. Emptied to sections of my wardrobe before I found them. They had slipped from where I'd put them into the section below.

@TinyMouseTheatre Are you in the South East? I can drop some off when I find the others at 11pm tonight.

Unfortunately no but I hope you find them a bit earlier Xmas Wink

I'm usually the opposite to this... I find things in the following months that I'd totally forgotten I'd bought 😁

Lightswitchup · 24/12/2024 16:58

Glad to know I’m not the only one who does this.

Well at least I’m not the only one 😅

I found the boxers (I’d put them with the stocking fillers), and the Dairy milk (wardrobe). Still no sign of the rest, but we will manage 😁

Currently trying to figure out which regular socks are stretchy enough to be repurposed as stockings. I think the hiking socks are winning.

I hope everyone manages to find everything in the end. If nothing else, it’s a great way to clear out the cupboards!

The box of my favourite chocolates that DH mislaid back in about 2016 has become a family legend.

They never did turn up Confused

Thank you @twohotwaterbottles that's such a lovely thing to say and means a lot after some of the comments on MN today.

Hope you all have a lovely day to tomorrow, with or without the missing presents Xmas Wink

Panda pyjamas! No idea what I did with them!

OhBeAFineGuyKissMe · 24/12/2024 20:55

A book for my husband - I swear I put it in my pyjama drawer but it isn’t there. I’ve taken all the clothes out of my wardrobe and no joy. I’m giving up looking for it, on the hope this means it will turn up.

Have you looked down the back of all the drawers? I lost a sports bra and I knew it had to be in the drawer. I pulled out the one below in case it had fallen behind but no luck. I bought two more. Then obviously found the missing bra that had been pushed over the back and then down to the bottom of the unit. Still confused as I looked!

Can't find my DDogs New Xmas jumper Confused
