How is it I can remember where I found them but not where I put them? Maybe my ancient ancestors know. Maybe there are borrowers in my various rented accommodations.
What I lose the most
1.Glasses
I lose these a lot and try to have more than one so I can still leave the house if I can't find it.
2. Keys
This used to happen a lot so I attach them to a string and leave them in a visible place in the house.
3. Purse
I just put a lot less in the purse, never switch bags and keep the purse on a string attached to the bag.
4.Scissors
I always need them. Never know where they are so I have one in each room. Then one on my keys.
5. Socks
Somehow, when I'm planning my outfit, socks never come into the planning stage. I never find the ones I want and end up late or having to wear odd ones. I got all of them exactly the same and this has helped somewhat.
11. Phone.
Losing this is embarrassing, panic causing and expensive and I have done it several times. I get a case with a strap and carry a small bag to put it in, instead of my main bag or jacket pockets. Also, I regret the back ups I didn't do.
13. Digital items.
Ah, these, linked to the device you own or a drop in the ocean of your email. These can get lost in a myriad of ways, from accidentally reformatting my SD card, finding it has been corrupted, the website its one has been shut down, or simply not being able to remember the password.
Where I find them
1.Normally find my glasses down the side of the bed or sofa.
2.My phone, on a windowsill in the kitchen.
3.A whole ear of corn that I put in my hamster cage to lure him back. Corn was not there in the morning , I lived in a tiny studio but never found that corn, even when I moved out.
4.Remote control, found inside the fridge.
5. Fancy rainbow scissors, behind the washing machine.
6. I can't remember the item but I found it in the pocket of a bag I hardly use.
7. Lots and lots of tissues, after I wash them.
8.Blue Mirrored Clip on glasses, in the pocket of my summer jacket, midwinter.
9.One of my favourite leopard print socks down in a pair of trainers I hadn't worn for some time.
10. Inner pocket of my suitcase, again, no idea what the item was but when I have been trying to find something for days, I will look there.
11. In the junk drawer I had already looked in several times.
12. Found my phone under my pillow.
13. Hairbands and hairpins, where do they go? I just buy in bulk and accept there will be loss.
14. My bank card. Found it under the drainer.
15. Glasses, wedged behind the heater
16. Glasses, wedged behind the plantain/hard food basket.
