Finding things in odd places.

I too have found my car keys in the freezer! I must have 'scooped' them up with the frozen shopping when putting it in the freezer!
When searching for them soon after, I done what I tell others to do, which is, look where you 'know' you wouldn't have put the item! After searching pockets etc the freezer was the place!

georgesgran: have you checked all his pockets?
A long time ago I went for a 5 day course. and my (now ex) had to move his car so I could leave.
When I got back, it was to be confronted by an irate man demanding what I had done with his car keys, he had had to borrow our son's car for a week.
Remembering he had come out in his dressing gown to move the car, I asked if he had checked those pockets.
I got no apologies for blame or bad temper. The whole thing was ignored from then on :-)

I do it all the time NanKate! It's not a memory problem, it's an attention problem. I'm thinking of other things, not concentrating on what I'm doing.

Often, I'm unsure if I've just done something - or just thought about doing it. For example, I'll put the spread back in the fridge, then find my toast is dry as I didn't use it. I'll pour hot water in the mug - but there's no coffee in it.

I sometimes can't remember if I fed the dog (she'll always behave as if she's starving) so I've made a wooden counter with AM and PM to turn over when I have!

Lost a birthday card when unpacking shopping. Found it days later in the freezer. After buying another card !!

Found not going!! ?

We going the missing house keys in the freezer - eventually!

My DH has lost the remote control for the garage door today. He swears he didn’t take it out of the house - but admits he was in and out of the garage several times.
He keeps trying to blame me, but I never set foot outside.

We’ve had the house upside down, but not a trace. I’ve actually checked in the garage freezers and his toolbox already.

The Avon catalogue appeared in the freezer....

I made a load of leek and sweet potato soup (saw the recipe on here so thought I’d try it). Knew I had enough left for lunch the following day and searched everywhere for it. Decided I must have used it all up the previous day. A few days later found it on the work surface above the fridge behind some potatoes. Must have taken it out of the fridge when I was looking for something else. At least I knew my memory had been correct regarding having some soup left but still felt daft. And it scuppered my zero waste policy. I was always losing that little pen thingy that I use on my iPad until I attached it to it with a piece of ribbon.

Oh belive me your not on your own i have had my house io side down looking for my glasses even had my daughter looking upatairs after i had a shower between the two of us we couldnt find them until my daughter burst into laughter when she spotted the bread in the kitchen put on the micro wave when she lifted bread bin their was my glasses i coukd go on on about weird things lol lol

If I ever lose my glasses, I can't see to find them without them on.
If you see what I mean ?

NanKate you’re not the only one, car keys are my problem, I’m supposed to put them back in handbag side pocket, mostly I do, which lulls me into a false sense of security for when I don’t. Coat pocket, side in kitchen, panic...and is usually when DH is present. We multitask, so our brain is onto the next thing, my excuse anyway!

Just this evening, I drove to Tesco Express to pick up a bottle of milk. On getting out of the car, I took my glasses off and put them in my coat pocket or so I thought, put my face mask on, put my purse and car keys in the other pocket and went into the shop. When I came out I couldn't find my glasses anywhere; searched pockets, car, went back into the shop, couldn't find them anywhere. Decided that I must have driven to the shop without them so got back in the car and reversed out of parking space. CRUNCH! Got out to find shattered glasses under the wheel of my car.

Whenever I lose my glasses I inevitably find them on my head, so why do I never check there first ?.
