That sounds like my safe place.When I pack up or get ready I always put things in a safe place.Its so safe I cant find it.
I dont mind going to work, its the 8 hours  i have to wait to go home again that annoys me.

Please dont tell SHMBO about this thread.  I do not have  altzheimers!

Can never find Keys, wallet, specs, jocks, sox, etc.

Can never find the hammer when setting up camp.

Lost my denture once, SHMBO found it in the bottom of the big green bin.  No idea how it got there.  ???

If i could find all the tools i ever lost in the grass whilst at the farm i'd need to build a new shed to house them in.

Can allways find my way to the PC and the fridge tho.

 :cheers:

Mace you sound just like me.
I have got 10 years on you and it just keeps going downhill.
Why is it that our wives always nag us over losing things?
What is worse is that the one bloody thing I can never lose is my wife. ??? ??? ??? ;D ;D ;D

It's a blue Rain Bird rain coat.  Purchased in Stanthorpe in 2005 and it's been very reliable and faithful till that wet camp ... 

Okay, so I know I was wearing it 3 or 4 camps ago, but since then ... Thin Air ...  ???  I recall wearing it to put down the camper, hopped in the car without it on and then Ta Da ... like magic ... never seen again.   >:(  I know I haven't eaten it ... hung it up anywhere ... the house has been turned upside down so it ain't here ... maybe it's wedged under something in the car ... BF says no not in there anywhere ...  ???  It's definitely not where it lives that's for sure.

Considering that this weekend also states "showers" (regular occurence of late) ... I'm at my wits end trying to find the blardy thing ... umbrellas' just aren't the same  :'(

I have the one that I reckon so many people have.  I look everywhere for my glasses, search the car, search the house, and these days the wife simply says "Check on top of your head", and 99% of the time they are on top of my head.  Worst thing is, last time I checked my head first, nothing there, so starting searching.  They were in my pocket.  Have now invested in a band for the damned things.

Remember the key tag that you could buy and all you had to do is whistle and the key tag would make a noise. Well have a look on ebay and you can buy the latest in finding wallets and keys etc. :police:

Fish hook, hooked it through my pocket while I was fixing up the float, etc, forgot where the hook was, checked pockets, searched the ground between the tackle box and the rod, sat down...  :'( :-[

As well as the usual; pens behind ear, glasses on top of head (haven't gotten to the "while wearing" point yet), phone/keys in pocket/backpack.

Every time I misplace something at home swmbo will ask "where did you leave it/them", perhaps the dumbest question of all time, if I knew where it was I wouldn't waste time looking for it.
