Oh oracles of lost things. I need your help on this email one

[Timeforanothernewone]

Rushing around getting ready yesterday. Brushing my teeth, sorting toddler, dressing baby, gathering drinks, snacks, etc. The usual.

This morning, getting ready. No toothbrush.

Seriously? The kitchen or bathroom is the usual place. It's not on charge and not in the fridge. It's electric and I can't really afford to replace it.

If you were a toothbrush where would you be?

Excuse the typo in the title. Don't know where 'email' came from!

We lost the tv remote recently. 3 days later found it in DH’s work bag.

Try all bags!

The baby bag/ crib/ pram?

Don't use a change bag but it's not in toddler's rucksack. I also don't use a handbag.

Pram completely empty. Baby sleeps on mattress on floor, toddlers cot bed is clear

Laundry basket, toy boxes, where you keep baby clothes, under bed?

Bin?

Bread bin?

Did someone wander around cleaning teeth and put it down somewhere? By another sink? Next to your home phone (if you use one)? Check all "put it down here" surfaces?

I expect the toddler has hidden it.

Toddler is a bit too young to hide stuff still -hear how naive I am

Just feeding baby and then I'll keep looking!

Once I found 4 tooth brushes down the back of the radiator 👌🏻

I WAS walking around while brushing my teeth and I remember stopping before the two minute beep thinking 'that'll have to do for now'

The pocket of what you were wearing?. over invested in this

Where did you brush your teeth last night?

Windowsill.
By the kettle.
In the fridge.
Where a pile of papers were that you moved.

I didnt brush my teeth last night because i couldn't find my and I fell asleep putting the baby to bed and when I woke just stayed there as DH is away this weekend.

It's nowhere in the living room. I've emptied out all the toys. It's not in the laundry basket. The search is slow and painful as the baby keeps stirring in his nap and i can't let him cry incase he wakes the toddler

Morning my jeans (from yesterday), not on any windowsill, kettle.is clear and it's not in the fridge

Try pulling out all the drawers in case it’s fallen down the back.

Whereabouts were you when you stopped, visualise it, start from there, retrace where you went next, look in and on everything.

Top shelf of wardrobe
Bedside drawer
Knickers drawer
Landing window sill?

I was definitely downstairs as I had the boys with me they may have been in the car as sometimes I do a quick one minute brush once they're in the car and must have been near a sink because I always always rinse my tooth brush and rinse my mouth

Do you have a hall table, post rack, somewhere for your keys?

Found it! It was in the tall kitchen cupboard next to the dishwasher tablets and bleach

Phew!
