Stand in a quiet room and pray to St. Anthony. Repeat three times the following:

"St. Anthony, St. Anthony, give back what does not belong to thee."

You will find your card case when you are not looking for it.

Well, it works for me, or perhaps it's just coincidental.

In the medicine cabinet? In an old coat pocket? I hope burglars are not reading this they'll know were we all keep our cards n stuff

It'll turn up when you look for the next thing you lose. Try tucked into a bookcase on top of books or under your mattress!

It will be in the last place you look Crafty ?

In a pair of rolled up socks
In the sewing basket
In the biscuit tin
I read a tip recently to take a pic on your mobile of the hiding place. Safe because presumably your mobile will be going away with you.

Polly Your post reminds me of the early days of having a credit card when I was terrified I'd forget the PIN number.

I disguised it as a made up number in my address book under the name Barbara Banks...The only problem was when it came to sending out Christmas cards I couldn't remember who she was so I sent her one anyway. grin

I once hid everything in a boot at the back of the wardrobe then forgot. Took me about a week to remember. Now I make a coded reference in my diary, such as "take boots for repair"!

In the piano stool? In amongst the laundry basket? Between books on the shelf or in a pile?

Linen cupboard? Freezer? Inside a pair of shoes? Under the mattress/ bed? In the garden shed? Must be somewhere you haven't tried yet! Let us know when you find them - as you will!

In your knicker drawer ? Under an ornament or plant ?
In the cleaning cupboard those are all places I would use.
Good luck

Stop looking for a while, Crafty Clear your head completely then sit down with a cuppa, close your eyes and think back to when you last had it. Think of other things you associate with that time. Eventually, Bingo! You will remember where you put it.

In my case it would probably be the bread bin!

Try your tea caddy.

Every year -when we go away I take one credit card with me in case of emergencies. DH takes a debit card for same reason.
I then hide my card case in house in case of burglary- daft I know but I do. Always have done. Last year I forgot where I had hidden it but remembered when I woke up on 2nd day home. This year I distinctly remember thinking- Oh I'll remember this year that I put them here!
Do I heck! I have no clue at all where all my cards- debit, store, library, NI, Nectar etc can possibly be. I have searched every room & nowhere to be found.
Maybe we DID have a very clever sneaky burglar or maybe I have totally lost it.
I've done the old ' what did I come upstairs for' thing many times but this is ridiculous!
I'm about to tear the place apart again.
Any ideas where you would hide a card case with all your cards in? It may jog my memory if I have any left.
( It was a super holiday though)
