General Chat

As your younger daughter was with you on the last trip, has she hung on to them or watched where Dad put them?

Daughter is a very responsible adult, very organised in her work and life in general.
She is not the cause. OH is the culprit.

So far I've found...in a cardboard box ( why? ) , a jar of Branston Pickle and a bottle of salad cream, both unopened.

I don't think they'd be much use at Border control though.......

IF IT WAS MY HUBBY

THEY WOULD BE FILED NEATLY AWAY UNDER F

F FOR FLIPPIN LOST

Ok, so could the passports be where the salad cream and branston were supposed to be?

Good thinking TW.
I'll check when I go downstairs.

Last time my passport was lost, ..several years ago, I ended up after about 2 years, ordering a new one. About a fortnight after the new one arrived, the old one turned up in a pile of stashed away college books belonging to elder daughter......but of course she didn't do that.. Lol.

We used these now lost ones early in December, so they can't be far away....Can they?

Gwyn

obviously they will be in the car? thats the last place you recall that you had them?
Bob
or in the suitcases, you will need THEM when you go on the next trip?

Bob
I'll check the car tomorrow..... His domain, where he's already 'looked'.

No suitcases needed or used in December.
We can be driving in France within an hour of leaving our house, so day trips are possible from here.
Hoped to make use of half term price offer to take grandson to Arras, as he's been studying the War.

Gwyn...could they be.....err....still in your handbag? Just a thought.

(If they are, sneak them out to the car tomorrow when he's not looking LOL)

I would make hubby go through all the things he did when you first got home.

What jacket was he wearing? where did he take it off,and where did he put it? Is it in the dashboard of his car?, Boot of same car?

Under the bed,wardrobe,drawers? Bedside cabinet, bathroom cabinet?

Suitcase/lining/hand luggage/wallet/pocket lining/dog's stomach?

Look for something else missing, you usually find what you were looking for last week.

Bring spring cleaning forward,and make hubby help.

Back of radiator/on bookshelves/magazine rack/cd rack/under the telly/the drawer that gathers odds and sods/

Try and think like a man, it can't be difficult they can only think of one thing at a time. Was he dying for a cuppa when you got in? Is it in one of your kitchen cupboards?

You've got me frantic now,I'm off to wash the pots, hope you find it,it can't be far........................ can it????

Seems like there is an unwritten rule that none of us have learned to live by....never put things in a 'safe place'.


*wonders what safe place I can put OH*

Teresa
I like your way of thinking, ..Lol
Not in my handbag though.

Annina
Please don't worry. I'm sure they're not far away. Things got moved around here alot at Christmas time, so more chance they are somewhere not the 'norm'.
They'll turn up.

Gwyn

Kichen drawers and cupboards,,


MEN ,,,,,LOL,,,

Hi Gwyn,
Have you tried a bookcase?
I quite often just 'slip' things on top of the books - mind you he's a man - could be between any of the books - passports - booklike therefore bookcase!

in with his car paper work? he would think thats a safe place }}.....maybe hes slipped them on top a a kitchen cupboard.top of wardrobe,?

My brother in law 'LOST ' his passport or either had it stolen.Reported it missing just before his holiday .Drove a couple of hundred miles to the nearest passport office to get a new one.Got home.......and my sister had found it in the pocket of a pair of trousers that had been in the ironing basket for MONTHS lol

Don't you just hate losing things? Is OH searching as frantically as you Gwyn, or is he watching you, knowing you will find it for him?

Have you got a sideboard? tried the drawers, cupboards, kitchen cupboard, freezer (getting desperate now!!!)

Ann
OH worries about very little. I think he knows from past experience that even if he does look for something, he won't see it.
Usually he'll say "Where did you find that?"
"Exactly where I said it would be"

..so yes, he is sitting back, not too bothered really.
He'll go to bed soon, then I'll have another search downstairs.

Gwyn

Tell him the cost of replacements gwyn!!

Dont know the answer to that one but I do know who will be holding them next time LOL

Looking in the bookcase is not a silly idea - I was looking for a notebook - and it had managed to squirm its way behind some books. Obviously when I wasn't watching it - gremlins at work.

Do you have filing cabinets or in with your many many many piles of genealogy research?

Sorry I can't help you look - I would far rather be in Kent than over here as it is so so humid - got fans going everywhere and all the doors open and it is 9.45pm.

Cheers

Persey
