What's the longest your dc's belongings have gone missing?

[christywhisty]

My DS's pe kit turned up yesterday. It went missing last June
He has gone up 2 shoe sizes since then so the trainers don't fit.

Does the kit still fit other than the trainers? Dd thankfully hasn't lost very much since starting High School.

Yes the kit fits, I bought it big so at least he's now got a spare.

DD1s PE kit was discovered on a dusty shelf in the PE department after 18 months - and the uniform had changed in the meantime [not impressed]

Ds is in year 10. Last month a coat of his that he used in year 6 turned up in lost property & because it was named found its way home. Needless to say it no longer fits!

Ha! ds1 lost his school uniform coat (with name sewn in in several places) just after Christmas. The office have temporarily loaned him a replacement, but it's a bit on the small side.

Dh was suggesting last week we should buy a new one (mega £££), but I said we should wait a bit, especially as he will hardly need it in summer term.

Now I've read your story I will definitely hold on and wait longer christywhisty! Where was it found?

I have no idea where it was found Roisin, DS just go told to go to student services to collect it. It had full name tags on it, even on the socks and the top and shorts also have his initials on the front. DH thinks it was stuffed down the back of something.

It's amazing how things can go missing for so long, loved to know where your ds's coat was for 4 yrs snorkle.
