Passports not in the drawer I always keep them in. Turning the place upside down.

I keep popping in to see if your passport turns up ‘Loveto Paint’! Good luck. 🤞
I hate losing anything it plays on my mind for ages.

I lost the photos I wanted to use for Mums order of service. I was totally beside myself, ripped the place apart. They were found ( too late) on top of the drier.

Hope your passports turn up, very annoying.

Have you taken the drawer out, it may have slipped down the back.
Years ago, at work I lost a file with legal documents in. It was in a securely locked filing cabinet and only I and my PA had keys.
After the panic subsided we took out the drawers and there the file was on the bottom.

Just to commiserate with you. I’ve lost mine too. I have the previous one so can only assume either me or DH threw the wrong one away 😳 probably when we moved house. Good job we’re not going anywhere . Hope you find it🤞

st Jude, the patron saint of hopeless cases. He found my engagement ring in a cottage that we were living in as a young family. It had fallen into a crack between two bare floorboards. Now that was a miracle

As they were renewed in 2020 you probably have the blue (black) ones. Just a thought as you might be looking for the red ones (iyswim).

Thank you again. I have been through. The same drawer again and again. Pulled chest of drawers out along with every drawer. Been through.contents. Had every handbag out - so many collected over some years. Searching through filing cases. The whole thing is mad. Now feel terrible so trying to relax and then start again. You are all so kind.

That’s a point, thank you.

That’s a good point, OldFrill. DH’s passport is blue now, but I still find myself looking for two red ones when we go on holiday.

Say a prayer to St Anthony .
I do and I'm not actually a Catholic .

Yes, he's excellent and usually helps.

Dear St Anthony
Full of grace
Lead me to their hiding place.

As Oopsadaisy said

You have checked with the building society, of course, and anyway they would have contacted you. Wouldn't they? 🤔

My son found his passport down the back of the fridge - wasn't even looking for it at that point.

Personally, I would give up at this point.
Not worth all your anguish?

Personally, if I lose things, they do turn up, but about 4 months later.

One of our daughters ‘lost hers’. Years ago. She was frantic as was about to have another holiday soonish after coming home from one. Her husband pulled the chest of drawers away from the wall and it dropped to the floor! Relief. She had stuck it on top (of stuff) thinking ‘I’ll be using it again soon’ probably.
Worth checking?

Lovetopaint, can you ask a family member or good friend to look for them? I know this means having someone else searching through your personal stuff but quite often another pair of eyes see what we don't. I do hope you find them though.

I d look exactly where you wouldn’t put it
Could you have laid it some worktop and it slide down the back
I find it strange when people call them blue passports mine is definitly black

Actually renewed in 2022 so yes probably blue. Hope they haven’t been thrown away by mistake but as I sit and tear things up I can’t see that happening. Tomorrow I am starting on another drawer in another room. Having a gin and tonic now to help calm me down. ❤️❤️❤️to you all.

Visualise the last time you had them and what you might have been wearing. Could they be in the pocket of a winter coat or jacket that doesn’t get worn much?

Enjoy your G&T, and good luck when searching tomorrow. I have found at times, when mislaying something, I suddenly remember when drifting off to sleep. 🤞

Have you looked under the front seats in the car? It’s also worth checking the drawer mechanism, I once overfilled a drawer and found something had wedged into the back of the drawer above about a year later.

Yes have asked my dh as he is usually really good at finding things for me.

My late son in law lost his passport and found in in the lining of the car boot !!! Don’t ask

Since passports don't get used very often, try to visualize the last time you used them and go over the journey. Is there a particular jacket or handbag you use when travelling? Did you need them for ID at a government office?

I find trying to relax and visualize the last time I used something helps.

Oh dear - haven’t found it yet?

Have you shown them to someone, since Dec/January?
