I can imagine first the panic and then the relief all too well.

I once realised, as I stepped on the bus to begin a European coach holiday, that my passport was still under the scanner at home! ? My husband (who was not accompanying me on the holiday) drove home, collected my passport then drove to a further coach stop to deliver it. The waiting time was excruciating, but the relief when he turned up in the nick of time was overwhelming.

Oh Lord Grannyactivist! Talk about a phew moment!,,

Dd once went gaily off from Oxford to Heathrow, for a flight to Rome for work - only to realise on check-in that she’d picked her dh’s passport instead!

He drove down with it asap, but too late - she had to get the next flight.

Friends of ours who’d stayed close to us the night before a long haul holiday, only realised at Gatwick that their teen dd had put her and her younger sister’s passports - wait for it - inside her tennis racket case, and had then left said tennis racket at an aunt’s house - in North London!

Friend (the mum) phoned me almost in tears, saying the rest of the family were all laughing - they found it funny!

Passports were sent in a taxi, but again too late. The rest of the family flew, the two girls were put in a taxi to us and I put them on a plane the next day.

Oh goodness, I understand the panic then the relief.
We've had those 'passport moments', all sorted out in time thank goodness (with a major adjustment once!)

Strong cup of tea with sugar called for!
I hate that 'hot and cold all over' feeling when I realise I've done something totally ridiculous again. If only I knew the secret of remembering where that safe place is!

I wholeheartedly agree, it’s so much worse when someone else is depending on you.

Regrettably bin surfing has become a fairly regular event in our household. The two items searched for are a spoon and the knife. The culprit is DH who regularly throws the spoon away with the yogurt pot and his favourite fruit knife wrapped in a piece of kitchen roll with the debris left from the apple. I am not involved in this desperate search, neither do I say anything……….but I think a lot!

(Having said that, I still haven’t found my overpriced iPad pen, lost within weeks of purchase)

Done that many times.

Such a relief to find them!

I think we’ve all had similar experiences.

Bad enough if you mess up something for yourself, even worse if you do it to someone else.

I can imagine the relief when you found them.

Stomach churning panic moment! Glad it turned out alright in the end! ?

Witzend Well done for finding them what a relief.
I have been seen a few times going through my bin for things thrown out by mistake.
You where very lucky as my binmen arrive just after 6.30am.
