Tell me something you can never find when you need it

With me it's my phone and purse

Christinefrance Tue 15-Nov-16 20:59:43

My temper, then I'm sorry afterwards

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.

cornergran Tue 15-Nov-16 20:29:59

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

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 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

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

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

Ana Tue 15-Nov-16 18:39:40

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

petra Tue 15-Nov-16 18:30:06

Ana I have. It was about the size of your index finger.

Pens and pencils, i put them in my hair so i dont loose them but it can take a ages to find them in there as i have a lot of hair and a lot of curls. i often find my glasses in there too

lol Cherrytree at GC looking for teeth. I mislay my glasses too. Trouble is I need my other glasses to find my glasses. Then, there's the added problem- can't find my glasses-finding glasses.

I try to put eg keys in the same place each time. My car keys are on my mantelpiece and purse is in my handbag as are credit cards. I used to have a problem with my driving licence but it has its own place now so slowly I am getting there.

MiniMouse Tue 15-Nov-16 17:18:26

Too frequently my marbles . . . . .

shandi6570 Tue 15-Nov-16 17:03:05

Keys, any keys, every key. My OH has an obsession with locking everything so we spend an inordinate amount of time searching for keys that he 'just put down over there'. I think we have a key goblin, either that or the locksmith breaks in every now and then and takes them so that we have to go and get new locks and keys. grinAt least we are helping to keep a local company going smile.

When iwas younger (much) my motto was don't panic !
Now I panic about most things
So I think I've lost my positive button.

On a daily basis glasses, keys. mobile
But I now have GC to find them for me.

Often when we were visiting my gran with my DC (90+) she would loose her dentures.
My DC would think it great fun 2 run round looking for GG's teethgrin

yogagran your thread has been hijacked by art lovers! [ grin]

rosesarered Tue 15-Nov-16 16:56:33

Only combined with quantity!
There must be some 'decency' law pertaining to sculptures, because the males have tiny genitalia and females have tiny boobs.

Ana Tue 15-Nov-16 16:56:26

Did a man tell you that, whitewave? grin

whitewave Tue 15-Nov-16 16:54:41

ana shock I thought quality is what counts?

Ana Tue 15-Nov-16 16:51:15

Well, I'm pretty sure I've never seen one that small on a fully-grown man!

Im68Now Tue 15-Nov-16 16:49:38

You going from memory Ana smile

Bought daughter`s Christmas present last year, a few weeks early, came to wrapping up time, could I find it? After ransacking the house, ordered another, it came just in time, just after new year, the lost one turned up!

Greyduster Tue 15-Nov-16 16:44:43

My self confidence when faced with something outside my comfort zone!

rosesarered Tue 15-Nov-16 16:44:40

Lost beauty?
