Try looking for something else altogether; that sometimes works. Today I found my sunhat under the sewing box (how on earth did it get there??) but your booklet wasn't there, unfortunately.

I am off to have a chat with St Anthony.

Hmm... so there might be something to be said for being married to someone who never tidies up ?

gotcha, badenkate! wink

Sign NOT casing.

hildajenniJ Wed 08-Mar-17 16:07:54

Last week I bought a house sign for the gate, as nobody knows our house. I kept it in the envelope it came in, and went to DD's for the weekend. When I got back, DH asked me where the casing was. I went to where I left it, it wasn't there. I've turned the house upside down looking for it to no avail. The only thing I can think of is that DH picked it up, not realising what it was, and put it in the recycling.
I've ordered another!

Ask the house where it is? I know it sounds daft but the lost item often turns up. Now whether it's because subconsciously I've simply forgotten and then remembered or something more supernatural ....who knows (sings theme from the Twilight Zone) grin

I hope everyone's noticed I've resisted the temptation to mention the sofa wink

auntieflo it's right at the bottom of the email together with the rstaurant offers etc

DH lost his new glasses somewhere in the house and they've never been seen again! Its driven us mad looking for them.

Auntieflo - maybe you accidentally moved the email to junk or trash. I've done that. Search for "Martin Lewis" and hopefully it will appear.

RInouchka - I've written down everything I did yesterday and I really was running around a lot. In and out all day!

I wonder if the Universe is telling me to S L O W down !

Yes, I've 'mislaid' a note I made of important dates, reference numbers etc which was next to the diary.
Now I have to phone a friend and ask all over again blush

I think it went out with the recycling (was it DH who 'tidied up'?)

Well, not the same, but a similar thing. This morning I was skip reading through the Martin Lewis email, all things to do with savings. I read, or at least I thought I had read, about money saving at Waitrose. £7.00 for three or five meat items. As I was out this morning, I decided to go and have a look. Could I find it? No. Came home to properly read my email, can't find it there either. Did I imagine it? Any hints welcomed.

Think back as to your movements and actions before you went out yesterday, doing a careful mental flashback. I invariably find what I have lost/mislaid by doing this. It might take a few attempts at remembering the sequence of movements, but might lead you to where you put the booklet. Good Luck!

Yesterday I was given a beautiful booklet to read - I had a quick look at it and then put it down somewhere..... before dashing out.
I thought I'd left it in my study but when I went to read it in the evening it wasn't there. I've looked EVERYWHERE and prayed to St Anthony ! . I"m really upset and irritated with myself. As I was running around a lot yesterday I think I may have accidentally put it in the rubbish which was being collected. Grrrrrr.
What do you do when you lose things ?
This is really eating away at me. (Bizarre!) I can't get another copy of this booklet which makes it all the more upsetting.
