Not expecting sympathy…

When we go on holiday my wife hides her inherited jewellery (about 5k) somewhere in the cellar.
Last week she put an old cat tree on Ebay small ads and gave it away for FREE.
Today, preparing to go on holiday she realises that the jewellery was in the cat tree and she can’t find the number of the guy that drove away with it.
I laughed, now I’m crying… F-ing women.

Well, bugger me with a cactus...what a coincidence.
I acquired a similar cat tree via ebay and that was full of jewellery too. I'd give it back, but I can't remember where I picked it up. Some people are just plain unlucky....
Ha! That cheered me up a bit.I acquired a similar cat tree via ebay and that was full of jewellery too. I'd give it back, but I can't remember where I picked it up. Some people are just plain unlucky....
Well a number, may be the correct one, has been found but currently there is no answer. Just assuming the phone might have been left at home and will try again tonight and then contact Ebay.
If anything interesting happens I will post an update, but it would be worth dumping an expensive phone for that value.
Well we got hold of him and he said there was nothing in the cat tree. Didn't surprise me really. End of story. Fortunately (?) for me none of the stuff was from me or my side of the family as we were never that well off!
Cat tree was in the cellar because the cat got run over - don't laugh you lot it's serious! It's a catastrophe, a sorry tail even.

Maybe she mis remembered where she put the stuff and it really isn't in the cat tree...after all,she is daft enough to hide it in the first place 
I must admit that is one of my hopes/theories. She and her friend (female) have disappeared into the cellar. It might take them a long time though as it is 10m x 9m x with 3 rooms and storage under the stairs - the clutter of 35 years together.All's Well That Ends Well
So I finally give in and take a look for the f-ing fabled jewels.
Picture the scene, a big cellar room in the half light, in the corner sits a 40 year old white painted wardrobe with scrolly carvings on top that has seen better days and that hasn’t been used as a wardrobe for 18 years.
Next to it sit the 2 monsters, 4 metre spider web, creepy “flower” lights and dramatic lighting kit which I use to scare the local kids at Halloween. May be I’ll post video later this year.
The wardrobe is full including 5 large old smelly decorator blankets and 3 plastic decorating sheets, trailer parts and other tut. Under the 8 decorator blankets is an old electric cool-box that hasn’t been used for may be 10 years and I open it and lo what do I see before me – the sparklies!
“Oh, NOW I remember putting them there”, said the Princess
If you read my posts you will see that I never impugned the “buyer’s” character – thank goodness.
F-ing women.

Seriously though - is your wife ok mentally, it really isnt normal behaviour to go around hiding the "precious things" and then forgetting where they are...
Get her checked out - could be an early sign of dementia?
She's always been like that. She has a tidy up and put away mentality which unfortunately can be very irritating when you are halfway through a job involving lots of things lying around. However it helps when you have three kids to keep the place ok.Get her checked out - could be an early sign of dementia?
In the early days too, long ago, when I smoked, after two or three taps of my ciggie on the ashtray she would whisk it away and empty it. Sometimes holding the ashtray waiting for the tap...
Drove me bloody mad. I gave up smoking. But the house is always pretty clean and tidy. I don't sit too long in a chair though just in case. I might get put in the cellar and forgotten.
