My disappearing necklace has had an entirely appropriate end. It didn't turn up yesterday, so I gave up looking for the time being. Now, in the far corner of my living room is a chair no one sits in much, because it's usually covered in coats and other junk. It's out of the way, and I didn't go near it yesterday, but today my mum came to visit, and went to sit there. We chatted, and got to talking about the missing necklace. Mum told me it was all about positive thinking, and giving up, and then said, "I bet I can find it." I said okay, she was welcome to go look. She leaned forwards to get up, and picked up something from the corner and said, "It's not this, is it?"

It was.

...Spooky. Positively spooky. I'd have thought it was a big practical joke, except it clearly wasn't. So, yay! I didn't eat it! *g* How it got there, I have no idea, though. Oh well.
