Yep same household. No they weren't. He was caught about 3 months ago stealing from his brother but nothing was said. Had another look tonight but I just can't work out where they could have gone

Thanks everyone for your support.
I did a 12 hour shift today and didn't get in till 8pm but I have had another look and just can't find them. I have moved out furniture tonight and just can't work it out. Suggestions include - maybe birds flew in and took them, maybe then rolled under the bed (the bed is rammed and what both of them?).
I think baby brain is going to be blamed but they came off at night and have lived on the tray next to the bed ever since I don't understand it.
Unless the other half is playing a prank on me but he knows I grew up with a thief and how much such possibilities upset me.
It's really frustrating.
I'm done in so going off to bed and hope for their return.
I'll pot tomorrow.
Well done everyone - sounds like we are off to a good start!

Thanks for my lovely star sue, am going to have to be careful that I don't spend too much time polishing them that I don't keep up with the thread!! I can't believe people lose their excitement on here - gosh I'm as excited (possibly more so) than the day I joined and found my new family!! Of course, I do feel an incredible responsibility to my tin, and of course can't write a post on here without having a pot comment - so, have raided my purse and potte another 25p - yay!! hickles - big hugs - don't let them get you down.I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!0
