Losing and finding things

Where is this legendary 'safe place' that we all seem to have? I used to put my jewellery in the freezer when I went on holiday - until I discovered that it was the first place the burglars would look. Why did everyone have the same bright idea?

I've got a baked bean can which doesn't contain baked beans

Thanks, Gally, now we know...

But we don't know where you have hidden the baked bean tin. I hope you have left yourself a note in the teacaddy to say where the beans are, then all you need do is remember where the note is.

My DH goes fishing in Scotland on a regular basis. Whenever he loses anything(seems to think its my job to find lost object) I tell him he left it in Scotland .it makes him very cross. I've tried telling him its in the car/study/on the floor under the bed but he is wise to me just trying to get him to deal with it. He such a SLOW learner.

Been there and got the T shirt, I got so sick of searching the house for hidden rings and necklaces that we went out and bought a safe. Everything is sitting securely in the safe now all I need to find is the key

Keys are my problem. You have them all ready for going out. Then you need a pee, or to check the back door is locked, or the lights off upstairs. Whatever, but in that time the bloody things have gone!

It was amazing when I was married how every time OH lost anything I must have moved it, even when he found it where he had left it.
My gd told me once that I was a very good looker - no, not my appearance, just good at finding things.
I have started using the same child's birthday for my bank accounts, etc. as I got very confused when using different ones. Last month I went to pay for some shopping with my card, which I have used several times a week for over two years, and had a complete blank about my pin. Fortunately, I had enough cash with me, and although I know you are not supposed to write it down anywhere, I have put the individual numbers on different pages of my diary.

anno Elegran -duh! It's in the cupboard with the other BB tins of course. It's my 'safe' place for keys and valuables, etc.....

The trouble is that since they started selling those 'false' baked bean tins every thief now knows where to look first....

When my children were younger, if I needed to hide food that was required for entertaining, I had various places they didn't know about, trouble is I used to forget where those places were myself. There were occasions I discovered bits and pieces months later with out of date sell by dates. Kind of served me right really!

Harri I need to remember where we put the safe! I know where the key is!

Harri and Galen - thanks for a good laugh - hope you find your keys/safes.
