A least you know it's fate, MY mug just went missing in action months ago, never to be seen again, it's so hard just not knowing what happened to the poor little mug, if only I could find out and get some sort of closure, where the hell is it?!
Broken and binned I reckon, just one item in a long line, perhaps she felt it was just going to be too much to tell me the truth so it's just a mystery, I still ask the family now "has anyone seen my little blue and white mug?"
"God Dad, are you still looking for that?", they know I am sure!
