    I can not find my writing pad and it’s doing my absolute nut in. I don’t lose things so someone has purposely broken into my house and stolen my notes on meal planning.

    Update: I found it. I was going through important papers on Friday and I had segregated and rubber band them in to piles and it was on the bottom of one of them. Dinner is saved.

      Check the dog’s bed. Can’t remember if you have a cat or not, but if you do, then check that bed too.

        Facts. I recently spent half a frantic hour trying to look for my keys, not long after I’d locked myself out in the morning and had to get a locksmith to come bail me out - here I was thinking I was unlucky with keys. But no, the cat had decided to keep them safe and warm.

            She bamboozled me again when I couldn’t find her anywhere, thought she’d escaped, looked outside for half an hour, nearly going into the neighbours place, came back in despondent, tried jiggling the food tin and delicious aromatic snacks etc, no luck… Was about to panic text the owner and then as I walk back through a room I’d been in countless times… I spot an extremely well camouflaged lump in an unexpected location, fast asleep like nothing had ever happened. Dammit, cat!!!

        Yeah nah. I had a look and it’s not there. Usually when he takes things he shows them to me. I don’t have a cat.

          Um, handbag? Mine is a sort of Well of Lost Items, which I only discover when I have to change bags for some reason.

            No. I found it. My handbag is pretty tidy but I still looked in there. Thanks for your help.

      Is there something you might have got up to do while planning? Like checking if you had a tin of tomatoes or something, and you put the notebook in the cupboard or somewhere nearby? I usually find lost things in places like that, or near the front door because I had to open it while it was in my hand and I put it down and forgot.

        The only thing I can think of is I’ve picked it up with the junk mail and put it in the inside recycle bin then thrown it in the outside one. I’m gonna need a few more coffees if I choose to have a look.
