In A Box, Somewhere

[Barmaid]

This is now my stock answer to "where's the.......?" Because we havent actually managed to finish unpacking yet. Although at least now we have ALL the boxes under the same roof instead of 4 different locations.

This morning he asked me for something and I looked up to trot out my favourite phrase and he just glared and said "dont you dare".

So how many other ways can I say "it's in a box somewhere".

Amuse me, please.

See that box well look in one like it
My crystal ball is broken look in a box
How the flip am I supposed to know look in the boxes

[Barmaid]

flip? Do you think I ever use flip?!!!!!

It really is soul destroying. Just as I get space cleared it gets filled up!

[Voltage]

Well at least you have moved BM xx we're on the verge of killing our most useless solicitor grrr!

[Lie-in King]

Point to a tower of 4 boxes & say "I know this one! It's in the last box over there".

If it is, you're a genius & if it isn't at least you've had a box unpacked.

[gness]

If it's something of his just say....Oh that?.....I thought you said to put it in the charity shop pile..... :-)

[Barmaid]

Oh Voltage, is it STILL delayed? Cant you complain? Senior Partner?

LiK - now that's a good one. Although he is quite impressed at my ability to find things. Trouble is, I can ONLY find stuff I packed. If I've seen it once I can find it - if he packed it, forget it.

"Did you not keep track of which box that went into?"

I thought we'd agreed to write the contents of each box on the side - can you not find it that way?

Over there, I think (waves vaguely in no particular direction)

Along with the gin/wine/whisky/beer, I think.

It's definitely in the house somewhere...

Can't that wait until we've unpacked everything?

Hmmm, can that wait a moment while we have a cuddle?

While you're finding it, can you also look out the {fish kettle, or anything else you've mislaid}

Tell you what, shall we just buy a new one. I always thought that was a bit old...

[Flonska]

Pick a box . . . any box . . . remember the box . . . but don't show it to me!

[AB Editor]

"It is entrapped within a cuboid casing in an undisclosed location within the premises."

[marval]

Just say, If you did some unpacking you might find it.

[woofgang]

dans un boite dans la maison?

[woofgang]

IABS

[woofgang]

I have NO (adjective of your choice) idea

[corylus]

Might take you years to find everything, been there, still looking!

[Patsy33]

Just point and say take your pick!

[Islay]

Of course I never say flip! But it was the polite way to write what I wanted to say!

[gness]

Empty then leave closed one box....then on a dark and stormy night
creep into the box and wait there til he's searching for something......when he opens your box leap up and wail and screech......x

I actually did something similar to my son once......he blames me for his baldness.... :-(

[anneasquith]

Excuse me ms. Barmaid, are we to believe you did not label the boxes ?

[murraymints]

I still have unpacked cardboard unmentionable cuboid objects in the attic..12 years on !!
