I lost my car keys a few weeks ago, having rushed into the house in urgent need of a comfort break. Searched every pocket in my bag (there are lots), the basket of cleaning stuff in the loo, then with increasing panic: the fridge, etc.... the garden .... gave up and replaced front door locks. Found a man with a computer who could sort car key situation and, at his suggestion, waited a few days in case they turned up.
Two days later, DH "Shall I have another look in your bag?" Me: "Huh, you can if you want to, but they're not there." DH: "Are these the ones?"
