... where in my house would you be hiding?

In the lint trap in the tumble dryer in the form of lint.

― Mike W (caek), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 00:25 (twenty years ago)

In your wallet.

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 00:26 (twenty years ago)

Wallet!!!

..no, not there

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 00:32 (twenty years ago)

In the trash with a bunch of receipts, wadded up to the compactness of a diamond so nobody will try to get a CC number off of them.

Stuck to the inside of whatever shopping bag it maybe came in?

dropped behind a piece of furniture?

(gracid)

I'd have waft, waft, wafted away. Maybe behind a radiator or behind the television, behind a cabinet, behind the fridge.

I'd definitely be behind something....

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 07:46 (twenty years ago)

Inside the dog.

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 07:55 (twenty years ago)

In the muddly drawer in the kitchen, along with the keys which don't fit anything any more, the spare fuses, the strange foreign coins from countries I haven't even been to, and the biros which don't work.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 08:59 (twenty years ago)

Or buried in amongst that big pile of newspapers which I took to the recycling skip yesterday. Oops.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 09:01 (twenty years ago)

Any untidy desks/sideboards/tables? I'd be on them, or down the side of them (your search zone needs to tie in with the potential waft circumference (PWC) of the paper). What gsm am I?

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 10:27 (twenty years ago)

In the Shrrredderrrr...

It depends what the piece of paper is. Is it a recipt? Because that could be in an inside pocket of whatever jacket you were wearing on the day you bought the item, or in the back pocket of your jeans.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 10:33 (twenty years ago)

i'd be hiding in case you tried to wipe your bum on me.

― snowkitten (g-kit), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 11:24 (twenty years ago)

Paper? If anything's important, I'd start a thread on it.

If it's a receipt, it will be crumpled in the bottom of the bag that the item came from, safe inside your Bag Of Bags (unless of course, you have raided the BoB for rubbish or lunch bags).

If it is the phone number of an attractive member of the opposite sex, then it will crumpled in a ball in the pocket of the jacket you were wearing when you met said Hott person.

― hush your hopeless falsetto crooning (kate), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 12:54 (twenty years ago)

It could have fallen out of whatever pocket it was in and be at the bottom of the laundry basket when you put said item of clothing in there awaiting washing.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 12:56 (twenty years ago)

Or it will have stayed in the pocket when you put said item of clothing into the washing machine and be very soggy and in very many pieces.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 13:26 (twenty years ago)

if i were in my own house, i'd probably be on the bedside table, underneath some half-read books and behind a pile of appalling promo CDs. either that or i'd be in the middle of a pile of junk mail, on the bookshelf in the hall, just next to the wireless router.

this, i'll wager, won't be much help either.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 13:31 (twenty years ago)

i found it!

it was in my shoe!

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Are you going to tell us what it is, yet?

― filled the fjords of my brain (kate), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:31 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha. I'm not sure I fully trust someone who doesn't have one of these.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:31 (twenty years ago)

I already have one of those, and I've only lived here a month!

― filled the fjords of my brain (kate), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:35 (twenty years ago)

It was a gift voucher for a studio session, one of those "activity days" from the argos catalogue. Now that i've found it, i can go on saturday and record a HIT SINGLE.

i can't sing, but i was upset to have lost it.

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:38 (twenty years ago)

i have strange foreign coins and keys that don't fit anything!

― jbr, Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:40 (twenty years ago)

Oooh, see this is like the Hunt For The Saint Claire Diamonds - if you'd told us what it was, everyone would have wanted one, and asked to be included if our suggestion turned out to be the right one.

(The funny thing is, when looking for things I often lose in the morning (keys, glasses, that sort of thing) the two first places I look are the fridge and my shoes.)

― filled the fjords of my brain (kate), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:41 (twenty years ago)

mrs fiendish lost a comb once, which i found in my boot two days later.

and my old flatmate once lost his shoes. actually, no, that's a lie. we hid them in a kitchen cupboard to piss him off. either way, it was funny.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:44 (twenty years ago)

Well, i am allowed to bring up to three people. no one guessed shoes though. and i still don't know what to sing!

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:46 (twenty years ago)

Well, in the end my Mum found the St.Claire Diamonds, so no one got any of those, either. ;-)

― filled the fjords of my brain (kate), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:48 (twenty years ago)

sing a song about kittens what eat pie.

― the kit! (g-kit), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:48 (twenty years ago)

You must sing These Boots Are Made For Walking.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:48 (twenty years ago)

oh! i assumed "the hunt for the saint claire diamonds" was some old movie, perhaps in the style of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:51 (twenty years ago)

i want to sing Stevie Wonder but the man says it is too hard :(

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:51 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha ha, no, that would be awesome. But no, it was just me and my mum turning the house upside down trying to find my jewellry box, and me asking for suggestions on ILX as to where to look, and people said they would only help if I gave them one of my diamonds.

Like, look! My mum won't even let me have mine own diamonds for fear I'll pawn them for drugs or something (as if. I'd be far more likely to pawn them for guitars.) what makes you think she'd give them to some random person on the interweb?

But I like the madcap old movie idea much much better.

― filled the fjords of my brain (kate), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:54 (twenty years ago)

ARGOS! VOUCHAH! SINGER! HIT!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

i have strange foreign keys, and coins that don't fit anything

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:17 (twenty years ago)

when dallas dead girl lost the face to her car radio it was under the couch on the floor. I have lost . . .

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:26 (twenty years ago)

when i lost my keys it led to a heartwarming intergenerational tale of fox-watching and putty removal

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:27 (twenty years ago)

where are my keys???!!

― Slumpman (Slump Man), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:32 (twenty years ago)

It's probably on the floor half hidden by the radiator or some piece of furniture.

― Laura H. (laurah), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 17:36 (twenty years ago)

This is like when Mrs Nordicskillz lost her passport )Lost Passports), but less exciting. Did that ever turn up?
