Tell me something you can never find when you need it

With me it's my phone and purse

Was that when it was...I mean, was it usually that size? When dormant, as it were?

A pen! Why can I never find a pen when I need one.

Since moving, my visual memory tells me exactly where things are. The only problem the cupboards and drawers no longer exist. I can't find most things! grin

My shopping list when I arrive at the shop. I have to hunt through all the bits of my bag, all my pockets and the car. confused

I've posted my shopping list in the past kitty and ended up in the supermarket wondering why I'm holding the letters that I should have put in the letterbox

My patience and my glasses - not necessarily in that order grin.

yogagran you are like Noddy! He posts his honey sandwich and takes a bite out of his letter.grin I had that book when I was three and never forgot that for some reason.

My temper, then I'm sorry afterwards

My £1 coin for the supermarket trolley. I used to have one in a pocket of each coat or jacket so I didn't have to fumble for my purse, only to find none in there. I then got one of those key-ring gadgets and all was well until Sainsburys changed their trolley design recently sad

(I don't know about the boobs, but about the men - the Greeks thought that only devils had real size! The statues show the ideal....)

I lose - the next file I want in my computer!

Pens, glasses, scissors, purse, keys, words, the gist of what I was talking about, the pill I just put on the worktop to take.

I have 2x£1 coins in a little pocket on my car door - until DH uses my car and they disappear confused

callgirl1. I am the same! I bought my GD some earrings for Christmas and can I find them!

jogginggirl Wed 16-Nov-16 07:25:08

I definitely lost my sense of humour yesterday- I'm hoping to find it today ..??

I hid my purse in the house when I went on holiday in September. It's big, it's bright pink. I found it six weeks later in the crockery cupboard. I still haven't found my mobile.the most embarrassing thing I find is routing around my handbag for my keys in a shop. It's makes me feel all sweaty and flustered.

I lost a box of chocolates bought early for a Christmas present. Then I found them and opened them.............

barbaralynne Wed 16-Nov-16 10:01:47

Words. I get part way through a sentence and the next word runs away and I can't find it!

LadyGracie Wed 16-Nov-16 10:03:20

I put things away safely, repeating to myself where they are, then can't remember. Pens have legs in my house. House keys always keeping warm in coat pockets, which coat?

Jaycee5 Wed 16-Nov-16 10:06:34

I've lost the charger to my toothbrush. My flat isn't that big and I have run out of places to look. I will find it as soon as I have bought a replacement.

GinnyTonic Wed 16-Nov-16 10:07:25

Oops - this has reminded me to take the pills smile

annodomini Wed 16-Nov-16 10:12:58

I've lost a skirt I bought for the Christmas season last year. Can't find it in either wardrobe. And it isn't under the bed, I swear.

Venus Wed 16-Nov-16 10:21:59

I can't find my leather skirt which I just had altered. I've looked everywhere! As for my glasses, who knows!

Sheilasue Wed 16-Nov-16 10:42:58

Just about everything at one time or another
