I know it’s not the end of the world but ....

Dreadful feeling.
I found mine in the footwell of the car.

Bluebell I'd feel tearful too if that was me. No, it's not the end of the world but it's frustrating and upsetting especially if there was a sum of cash in the purse.

It's good that you managed to cancel your cards before any unauthorised spending took place. Try not to upset yourself by looking for it anymore.

Did you drive? It might be in the car. Hope you find it

What bad luck, and how maddening about the £50. I'd feel tearful too. Did the purse have anything in it with a name and phone number on, so that if someone honest has picked up they can contact you? Or the cash may be taken but the purse and cards thrown away, so worth reporting it to your local police station. Don't let it get you down beyond a point.

Have your cry, you’ll feel better for it. Then say what’s done is done and go and do something nice that stops you mulling it over.

Sorry to hear that bluebelle, really upsetting and hope it still might turn up, have you checked pockets etc?.

I know that awful sinking feeling when you only think that your purse is lost, do hope you find it.
