Remember the little bunny in THIS post ... well I have lost him!!
I put him somewhere safe, so that I would not lose him and so that Alan would not see him by accident if he came over. I distinctly remember putting him into something, now I don't know what.
I have looked in the obvious places, the more unusual places, I have done the thing where you go back and look where you have already looked ... perhaps we feel things will materialise in our absence ... I am now at the stage of looking in all the ridiculous places.
I have looked in things, under things, behind things. In places where there is no reason or rhyme that I might have put him. I even just got up off my chair and went and looked somewhere thinking that inspiration had struck ... it hadn't. 😕
Is he hiding in plain sight ... nope!!
I am starting to think that he has gone to the place of the lost keys. Now I never lose my keys, I am good at either leaving them in doors or hanging them up, so if he has gone there I will never see his golden foil again.
I have until Saturday to find him, if I don't I will have to splash out another 75p and buy one of his many millions of little bunny brothers.
Maybe 75p is a small price to pay for my sanity!!

Best way to find something is, as you say, buy another!
ReplyDeleteI bought another one this morning, I was hoping that putting it away instinctively would reveal the original ... it didn't. 🫤
DeleteHmm, maybe this is an age thing because I do the same as you - tuck something away in a place which at the time must have seemed like a really good idea and then when I want to find it - aargh and grrrrr.
ReplyDeleteDuring one particularly frustrating search I hit Google for something like “why the Crunchy can’t I find …” and one of the more sensible answers was that we often do not recall things like this unless there is a clear visual in our minds of where we stashed an item. Might that help you work backwards?
I've worked forwards, backwards and sideways ... nothing!! 🙃🙃
DeleteThe minute you buy a new one, you'll find the other bunny! I often put things away when tidying up and then, can never find them again!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was hoping for this morning, when I bought another one. No luck, the only good thing was that they are now reduced in price to 60p instead of 75p. 😀
DeleteAre you sure you didn't eat him absentmindedly - or with intent and have blocked out the memory in a fit of guilt? 😂😂
ReplyDeleteI can't eat dairy chocolate, so he was always going to be safe from me. 😄
DeleteMaybe Alan sneaked in and found him already!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lose things now I always blame Col's ghost - as we spent many a long minute looking for something he had put down somewhere - especially tools in the workshop.
I asked him, which was hard to do without giving away what the 'thing' was, but he promised not.
DeleteAre you 100% sure you actually picked it up after paying, many times I have forgotten to pick up tiny things I’ve bought or if your like me small things I’ll put inside a cup or mug in the cupboard. Heather
ReplyDeleteWell it's in the photo of my shopping at home on the linked blog post, so yes it definitely came home ... and was put somewhere safe. 😄
DeleteGosh, that's me too! Once bought Danny a tell-the-time watch, put it somewhere safe until Christmas and didn't find it until he was EIGHT!!! Last week I lost the Stanley knife, which I had come across the week before and thought I must put that out of Rosie's reach - Lord knows WHERE though. Somewhere high I think. Fortunately I mentioned this to my friend Pam and she bought me one as a birthday present!
ReplyDeleteNever mind, when you finally find it, you will have a past-Easter Treat :)
Well Alan will, sadly I can't eat milk chocolate. 🫤
DeleteOh dear-I hate when this happens! My absentminded error this week was to have ordered my online shopping to come on 26th April instead of 19th. Fortunately Norrie asked for something to be added to the order and I realised my mistake and was able to change the slot til tomorrow. Catriona
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, thank goodness you picked up on the mistake. It would have been a sparse Easter. 🙃🐰🐣
DeleteI think it got eaten!
ReplyDeleteNot by me for sure, and Alan promise not him. 😀
DeleteWe all seem to do this. I love that poem.
ReplyDeleteWe really do don't we. 😄 I like most of Brian Bilston's poems. 🙂
DeleteReading this I reached down to the drawer I hide Easter and Valentine's chocolate in. Phew, the small bag of eggs is still there!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you find it soon.
Helen
Haha, phew. 😀
DeleteOh my goodness, so many times lately I've had to do a whole house search in order to find something that I've
ReplyDelete' put somewhere safe ' 😆😉
Alison in Wales x
'Safe' seems to be a dangerous place. 😄
DeleteIf you have to buy another bunny, the lost one will turn up - its sod's law! Xx
ReplyDeleteIt's not worked yet. ☹️
DeleteWhere did you put the cheeses? Would it be with them…..? Karen S
ReplyDeleteYes, you bloody genius!! 😁😁😁 Got him!!
DeleteI agree with Gill, as soon as you buy a replacement the original will miraculously reappear! x
ReplyDeleteIt didn't work originally, but now I have the little blighter ... and his twin brother. 😁😂
DeleteNOW FOUND ... thanks to Karen S. 😁❤️😁
ReplyDeleteReally!! Wow, I’m not as daft as I look then haha! Karen S
DeleteThat is so funny! Glad for you though.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy now. 😀
DeleteI am so glad to have checked in, and that the missing bunny is found.
ReplyDeleteDH lost the key to the battery lawnmower. He ordered another, plus a spare. Why the first was in the dresser in the lounge, goodness only knows!
It is always the way isn't it. Alan was always terrible at losing tools, and when we moved from Wales I discovered that he had 3 identical electric saws, still in their boxes and many more duplicates of things that he had mislaid, replaced and then found.
DeleteI have put things in a safe place so as not to lose them, and proceeded to actually lose them. I am glad you found the lost and now have his twin brother as well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Alan will be happy with two little mouthfuls of chocolate bunny. :-)
DeleteForty years ago, when I was out of work, I hid my Mastercard in one of my mother's books in the bookcase in the sitting room. Forty years later the books are still in the same place but no Mastercard - it just vanished off the face of the earth!! Completely mad!! : - )
ReplyDeleteHaha , that's brilliant. I once had a missing piece of toast when I was married to my first husband. We definitely put two slices in and when they popped up ... admittedly the toaster popped the toast completely into the air ... there was only one. Gosh we search high and low for that. :-)
DeleteThat poem is brilliant, laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteIt really is. 😄
