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!
