Any suggestions where 'somewhere obvious' might be please?

O.H. has put our passports there, after our day-trip to France in December.
I'd like to find them to be able to put them in the place they are usually kept ( for the last 15 years or so )

Suggestions ?

Gwyn

Have they been put away with the christmas decs
MEN trust them with nothing hun

we got a tax rebate
hubby drew it out the bank and put it in a safe place

so safe took us three days to find it

The last place you look Gwyn lol



Try :-

hand luggage from last trip

telephone table

on top of the microwave

on computer desk/in drawer

pockets of coats worn on day trip

It did occur to me that I'm going to have to check some really not obvious places, just incase they got scooped up with the Christmas items.
Good chance to tidy the loft space, I suppose.

Why couldn't he put them straight away.........?

Gwyn

Sounds like 'in a safe place so I'll know where to find them'.

That's usually bad news LOL

Had the same thing not so long ago.

Try the underwear drawer lol xx

Thats fatal
We always put things in a *safe and obvious * place........................................
then spend days looking for them,some never found for years
lol

Sorry McAnne...you crept in there..

He has supposedly checked car, hand luggage and pockets of his coat., but it was a 'man's look' so maybe I should check those places again.

I swear he doesn't find things unless they jump up and go "Boo" to him !

Gwyn

Still haven't found my tape measure.

I often find something long after I've given up looking for it. I come across it by chance when I'm looking for the next thing I've lost.

Great ideas and comments, ... Thanks.

We had hoped to take grandson on a daytrip during half term.
His is the only passport here. His mum ( our daughter) asked us to keep it with ours as she knows I could normally find them with my eyes shut.

Lost are mine, OH's and our younger daughters, as she was with us on our last trip.

Gwyn

Gwyn, you do realise it's your fault for trusting one of us to take care of of it don't you?

Lol Uggers.
Yes, maybe not a good idea.
I was carrying the guide book. We still have that safe !

Gwyn

Which no doubt you've been waving about a lot lol. I'm off to work again - hope they turn up:))

You must re-search where hubby says he has looked
I have found loads of things by ignoring hubby saying *its not there,Ive looked *
lol

Does he have a bedside cupboard/drawer Gwyn? Or his underwear drawer. A drawer where you keep stationery, or a jewellery box.

Other than that start at the front door and work through the house!! Good luck

Mo
I think I'll do that now........

Gwyn

I think you can safely say Gwyn, it will be in one of the places hubby says he's already looked and 'it's not there' ...........


Like you say if it's not shouting and waving at them, men never see anything - they don't move stuff, just do a surface glance - my dad is always doing that and me or mum will find it where he's looked *rolls eyes*

I once lost a watch, for nearly three years.
found it in HER bedside cabinet.
can only think that when I was working away when I got home early in the morning, I'd slid in Her side of the bed( cos it was warm there,)
and might've put the watch in the cupboard myself......

Bob

if a mans involved its probably lost forever lol xxx

lol
Stray,I think you are right there
My hubby is always looking for his things in the wrong place
I am sure men have short term memory loss when it comes to remembering just where they put things *for safety*
tuts in amazement
