Big problem

[mystery]

We have lost the TV remote. Does anyone have any idea where it might be? Without it we cannot watch our recordings of Tracey Beaker.

I'm picturing you and DH cuddled up on the sofa watching re runs now

My DD takes the remote with her to the bathroom ( in case anyone wants to change the channel in her absence) so perhaps check all the random places you can think of.

I am quite tickled by the idea that we might know where your remote might be. I must turn my web cam on.

You are all so clever you don't need a webcam. I should re-check the toilets - good thought. I've delved in the freezer, in the beds, starting to despair now. No it's not the scene of domestic bliss you are imagining Scarlett.

Ours sometimes turns up in a dressing gown pocket.

Well, who had it last ? Can't you wake everyone up and get them to retrace their footsteps. Why would it be in the freezer ? When you find it make sure you buy yourself one of those fabric remote holders that fit over the sofa arm ...you'll find them when you flick through that useful supplement in the Mail on Sunday...you could buy yourself an all in one to wear whilst you're at it...to keep warm when you get up at 4 am.

[Looking for help]

If it's like my house, someone will have taken it to bed with them, because there will be a programme on in the morning that they must see. So you need to get them all up and frisk them .

For the future - go to Argos and get one of those universal remotes and keep it on your person at all times, then you can always be sure of being in control when you need to be Oh and while you're at it get an extra phone, because they're always going dead and missing when you need one too

Ours always ends up in the kitchen.

Good luck with finding it! We lost a house phone about three months ago and still haven't found it!

Found it!

so...have you found it yet? If not, my advice is go back to basics and look under every piece of furniture and under all cushions. We lost our DVD remote for months and it turned up when we lifted up the sofa and turned it on its side to move it. The remote had managed to get inside the sofa through a hole in the underneath lining! I think it was in the ironing basket once too so try there.
