Tell me something you can never find when you need it

With me it's my phone and purse

Birthday cards - seen early so bought for that special person, carefully put away for the day - they never fail to evaporate somewhere in the house. 'Have just found a lovely card bought for Dil almost two years ago!
Car keys - have spent hours of life trying to find them in spite of designating special places to keep them to avoid this maddening last minute hunting about and shouting.

Ana - my thoughts entirely. Whenever I see nude statues of men I think, no way, it's the size of an acorn!

Things disappear all the time but what amazes me most is when I am sitting in one place and never move and still items vanish eg pen, scissors, sewing cotton, notepad, make up brush, etc, depending on the job I am doing. If I do not move they must be within arm's length but NO! Where do they go? They can only have gone to a parallel universe and then they may (or may not) return days later!

I left a memo on my computer "advent calendars for girls", fine I am getting a daily reminder but where did I actually put the blinking things, I thought I had also written where they were.

harrigran grin that reminds me of the time I went to visit my in-laws and my FIL - chuckling away - told me that the open book on a chair in the middle of the room was put there by my MIL to remind her about something ... but that she couldn't remember what!

I could help with what it was, because I had popped around to tell them I couldn't get through on the phone (this was before mobiles) - my MIL had unplugged the phone to get some peace!
