Losing it!!!

My daughter mislaid her passport and replaced it, even though she has a ‘place’ for passports. Found in her car boot a week later after replacing, she’s in her 30’s, it happens to us all.

I was already to go away for the weekend, bag packed, coat on car keys ready, when I noticed something on the side in the kitchen that was meant to be in the freezer. So I put everything down to do that.

When i pcked everything up, my car keys had disappeared. I searched high and Low. DS came home to help and finally said, just take the spare car key and go, there will be someone to let you in when you return.

He rang me that evening to say that my keys had been found - in the freezer.

I was only in my 40s.

We lived in a house with a mischievous ghost, she loved keys and all things shiny.

We didn’t tell the children about her as two had left home and the youngest was away at school.

One day our daughter was arriving for a family weekend, we were out shopping and she had a key, she parked in the driveway, put her keys in the usual place ( a little nook by the front door ) and went straight to the pantry to check the fridges and scoff cheese,pate and bread before our return!

She went back to the nook to get her keys so she could retrieve her phone from the car……no keys, she searched high and low.
She eventually went into the kitchen to see her keys on the table, she hadn’t previously been in the kitchen!

We then got the phone call “ is there something you haven’t told me about C*** House.”
She was waiting in her car in the drive when we returned and refused to ever be in the house alone again.

I remember once not being able to find my mobile. Searched high and low and said I wonder if I'd left it at work. As I had the keys to the small factory where I worked and only a 10 min drive me and DH went. I couldn't find it so I said to DH try ringing it so he did. Lo and behold it had slipped out of my pocket and was on the floor below my drivers seat. DUH!!!

My daughter has a safe and asked me to keep the key at my house. When she needed it I couldn't find it anywhere. I knew I'd put it in a small drawer but it wasn't there. After a sleepless night I got up and took the drawer out and turned it upside down. The key fell out!

Namsnanny I now remember picking up the post as I came in and of course with keys in hand put it on the kitchen table.
🤦‍♀️☺️

Oh my word! You must have felt so worried! That sort of thing happens to all of us ‘not-so-youngs’ so I shouldn’t worry.
After all that, I hope you had a great time and had no need of the card!

I turned the house inside out looking for my GHIC card the day before we went away. Wardrobes (several) drawers, cupboards, emptied the safe, no sign of it.

Laying in bed at 3am wide awake, cross because I couldn’t sleep and shattered (we were being picked up at 6.30am) I realised the only place I hadn’t looked was in my medication bag, which was in the bottom of my carry on bag, and there it was 🤦‍♀️

Glad all is well.

I wonder what made you break the habit of leaving them on the shelf?

A senior moment

All the time!

Happens to us all!
