Have you ever put things in a safe place

I do it all the time. Then I get worried and frustrated when I can't find where I have hidden it.
It is a standing joke with my children who often say 'Mum please don't put it in a safe place'

Oh yes, I think we all have!

We've got a Google Home (same sort of thing as Alex, only better). We tell it to remember where we have put things, date we bought appliances etc, so we just ask it when we want to find something and can't remember where it is. It works brilliantly.

I have been banned from buying christmas presents early as I'm still finding last years yet again. My grandsons have christmas presents all year long. Hubby says hes now fed up with it. Well if you buy some thing in the sales and it puts a smile on their faces does it matter? Wont tell him of the remote control cars stashed in attic, just need to remember them. ?

All the time. Usually if I am going away for a few days ‘I’ll pop it in there until I get back’. Perhaps all this tidying up to pass the time will turn up all sorts of things.

I'm still looking for the silver we hid about ten years ago before going on holiday.

My husband put the back door key in a safe place 5 years ago, we have
never found it and had to change the lock

Yep...last summer had some fencing building work and decorating done. I got some money out in case the workmen wanted some money up front for materials which they didnt. Recently been unpacking stuff to go back into my bedroom after work was done in there and in a box l've found the money. A real shock as.l never leave that sort of money in the house but also a nice surprise as that makes me well on the way to new sofas for my lounge.

I used too, and like everyone never could remember where the safe place was.

I should have been warned as my mother was even worse than I.

I now have two safe places, and can remember where they are.

I do this far too often!! Always losing what I have put somewhere safe.....

Oh all the time! I always hide things before we go on holiday just in case we get burgled- always an optimist!!
Every year we come back to find I have forgotten where they are. Last year I wrote down where they were & lost the note ( found in November in the shelf under the coffee table!!)
At least I got my nice earrings back in time for Christmas.

I did exactly the same with my stamps....still haven't found their safe place 2 years on!

I can’t find a pair of long curtains ?

My personal best in this category was finding a silver necklace bought for my daughter on her 12th birthday, I told her I would put it away until she was a little older....she is now 52!!!!

And yes, I put it in A Safe Place

Oh Belinda I think you have won today's prize!

I bought a * a-z address book*. If l am putting something away for a while..l write in book where it. I keep the book where l can see it daily..in my knickers drawer!!!

Yep I do it all the time, especially instruction manuals for household equipment. And still haven't found the £40 worth of postage stamps I bought two Christmases ago for cards! They'll turn up someday.

I’m always doing that !!! I did it with a building permit that was the worst ! We couldn’t start building because I lost it ! My husband was furious, very unlike him. ? After 3 days of praying and sorting papers I found it ? The latest is my birth certificate ! Went to my important file and zilch nada nishta. Had to send for another. So no you’re not the only one!! I blame drop in oestrogen which apparently helps memory , so you don’t leave your kids somewhere I suppose.

All the time , until I started writing them in my Diary, especially Theatre tickets or Birthday presents, I just make a note on the correct day.....Mary's Birthday, present in top of wardrobe.......Importance of Being Earnest, Tickets in dresser drawer.
It has saved me no end of panic and hassle, and turning out cupboards desperately looking for something. Lol

I once got on a bus with my grandson from USA and halfway to the town I remembered I had left our family dog outside the local grocery store, fastened by his lead. Thankfully I could ring a friend who took him home.

Standard procedure in this house.
I'm constantly amazed when they turn up, and l always say out loud "oh, there you are...."
And no: l never learn either.

I rarely lose things. I have a fireproof box in the bottom of my wardrobe for important documents, passports etc. and small valuables if we go away. A ring binder where I file the household stuff such as ca r and insurance documents and household bills. A box file for birthday cards and stamps and a designated drawer to store gifts bought in advance.
In spite of being so methodical I occasionally mislay everyday objects, which usually turn up after a short period of frantic searching.
I have two abiding mysteries, however. Firstly a book called Pyramids, by Terry Pritchett which was bought many years ago as a gift for my son. It disappeared, and has never turned up. Secondly the new prescription sunglasses which I bought 5 years ago for my trip to Australia. I’m positive that I packed them, but they also vanished into the ether, and have never surfaced in either country. I never hide things ‘in a safe place’, only my regular ones, so it’s a complete mystery where they went to. Spooky!

I'm currently driving myself mad trying to find something I bought in my weekly shop yesterday. I know I bought them. I know I put them in the glove box of my car. I know I brought them out of the car and brought them into the house. I've found one of them but cannot find the others. But where did I put them? Been searching the house all evening but can I find them? No! They've got to be in this house somewhere!

It's so annoying when you can almost see yourself putting it somewhere.
It's such a surprise when it's not there that you have to keep checking.
