Yoghurty spoon down the back of radiator

[wendyh]

So DD decided to let me know she'd had enough yoghurt this evening by flinging her spoon across the table and it's landed down the back of the kitchen radiator. A 6ft radiator with zero access for me to get the spoon back. Do you think a temporary bad smell is an optimistic expectation of what happens next?

I got a fork out before using the long thin bendy nozzle on my carvac....good luck- at least it's not fish.

They don't even smell - the yogurt just dries up

Excellent! I knew somebody else out there would have had the exact same thing happen. The yoghurty spoon can stay exactly where it landed

We have an extendable rod thingy with a magnet at the end which is probably meant for picking up screws in small places (!) but works to get metal objects out from behind the radiator.
