A story with a moral

Lily - Ouch! that sounds like the fruits of painful experience.

The best bit of finding something lost that I know was when I was on holiday as a child with my parents in Italy. Another hotel guest came out of the sea and told us that she had just lost one of her contact lenses. My mother was just about to go into the water for a swim and said, "I'll keep an eye open for it". Everyone laughed – to my chagrin because children don't like people mocking their mothers, do they? Well, they had to eat their words or swallow their laughter because when she came out of the water, she presented the woman with her contact lens. I have no idea how she found it. I swear that witchcraft runs in out family.

Thanks for the tip, Daisy. I read somewhere that if you say out loud whatever it is you've lost, you find it quicker. Makes you look like an idiot if there are other people around, but I'm beginning to think it works. Another good tip is, if you've lost part of a child's toy (works well with Lego, for example) if you take your shoes off and walk around for a while you'll soon find it.

Put the crevice tool on your vacuum cleaner and stretch the toe of an old pair of tights or pop socks over it. That way, the earring won't be sucked up into the dust container. I hope - heard this tip but haven't tried it.

What are you like ??
