I am sat at home looking around at the total chaos that I have caused hunting for my wallet. It's bizarre I know i had it at 1pm and have a distinct memory of checking my change when I got home. I then went out for a walk with Max and got to Tesco's at about 5.30 pm and discovered my wallet missing from the little bag I carry all my bits of rubbish around in. The bag was fastened shut and so I came home and looked in all the normal places with no luck, I then retraced my steps to check the couple of tree stumps that i sit on whilst having a breather from dog walking and found nothing. Returned home and started looking in the unlikely places and getting crosser and crosser with every passing moment. I can't understand where it's gone or how it could of got out of a closed bag, it's so infuriating. Luckily I only use my purse.wallet to carry money so my bank cards are safe but I can't get it out of my head the fact that I have lost £45 and don't know how. I even turned Max's bed upside down in case he'd got hold of it, I've now given up the hunt and have rung the police in case I have managed to have a mental lapse and took it out of my bag and then lost it whilst dog walking and so if some nice honest person finds it I may get it back.
I'm just so peeved, were is it? What have I done with it?

It's horrible and so frustrating when that happens. Sorry, I can't help you locate it, but I BET at least one person has asked you where you last had it, or told you that it will be in the last place you look for it? For me that's worse than actually losing the thing in the first place!

Best of luck finding it! :)

I'm a medium....well, that's what it says on my knickers

*rolls eyes up into head*

Look in or around the bin .........

Where am I? What am I doing here? I was in 'I'm really bored'......

Last year I dropped a £1000 in a bundle of 20s coming back from the bank!!!!
retraced my steps.......did all the usual. It never turned up and I'm over it now.
I really couldn't afford to loose it either at the time. My situation has changed now slightly and I reckon it's Karma. Some way you will get your £45 back.

I once accidently set £250 on fire in the microwave. I can still feel the horror that I felt on discovering the cinders.

Oh dear! :( I'd need therapy if that happened to me. I'd be roaring for years!

I bet that was an awful sight to be confronted with, but one question- how did that come about?

I had hidden it in there during a power failure, I went out and when we got back the power had come back on, microwave had been left switched on - money frazzled!

I lost my keys one day, and knew I had them when I got home, because I'd used them to open the front door....I eventually found them in the freezer....I have no idea why I put them there:blush: I've found other odd things in the fridge at times, and think I must have just had a brainstorm at the time.

Have you checked the your fridge and/or freezer, kitchen cupboards and the cutlery drawer....all my favourite places for losing things.

:loopy:

:( :( :( :cry:

I started off by looking in all the sensible places and then as time went on started looking in some of the more unlikely places which included the fridge, both freezers, the microwave, I even lifted the bowl out of the sink and had a look there. Realised I was getting progressively sillier when I found myself peering into the toilet!!
Max is hiding upstairs as all my tutting and swearing under my breath has made him think he's in trouble and even more so as after checking his bed and bedding for the second time i actually went upstairs to check behind the bed where he goes when scared.
It's just the sheer fact of not knowing that is doing my head in. I've checked my bag three times looking for a hole that isn't there and even put a new wallet in the bag,closed it and then shook it violently trying to make the wallet fall out with no success what so ever.
Now after having moved 90% of my furniture I've got to put it all straight again, replacing seat cushions, throw overs and the like. I just hope I go to sleep tonight and am not fretting into the small wee hours.

I have done the exact same thing. I'm better now, but when the kids were small, I was forever misplacing small, essential items.

I once left my keys in a cupboard, and had everyone in my house searching for them. We finally found them after about a half hour. I felt like an idiot for wasting everyone's time.

More than once, the husband had called me to come look at the neat pile of clean, folded clothes in the fridge, and a jar of peanut butter and box of wheat crackers in the linen closet. :loopy:

My problem was trying to do two things at once. When I was a kid, my dad always said I couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time. I guess he was right.

That, and for awhile the kids had just sucked the brain right out of my head!

My mum once lost her keys. We found them in the tea pot. :suspect:

Now that sounds quite familiar! Strange things like that happen in my family aswell :hihi:

Sorry to hear of your plight wallbuilder....have you checked your laundry?? Did you get changed?? My Hubby is terrible for putting trousers to be washed with 'notes' and 'keys' left in the pockets...!

Have you chucked it on the bed and it has bounced off??

Have you put it away with the shopping???

Have you put in the fridge/cupboard!!

I can imagine it is driving you 'up the wall' and I sympathise!!

I cancelled my credit card after it went astray...

:confused: Found it 6 mths later inside the yellow pages...:confused:

I really hope you find it...:thumbsup:

Don't forget to check in the oven.........................
found my milk in there plenty of times :loopy: right next door to the fridge!

I spent four hours non stop searching for my glasses, getting angrier by the minute, found 'em inside the printer. I've found my purse in the bin, keys inside my shoes, shoes inside the washing machine, phone in the bathroom cabinet, etc etc. There always seems to be madness in my method yet whenever a man loses something I can find it instanter.....why is that?

ps Did you check the bin?!

I know just how you feel. I lost my switchcard two weeks ago, I know I had it when I got back home from the supermarket but where it is now, God knows!

Eventually I had to concede it was lost and ordered a new one. Stopped me spending any money though!

I lost my first switchcard several months before this one, and found it months later amongst a pile of clean linen (?)

ah well, such is life! Can't say i've ever burnt any in the microwave though. I have had to dry out the odd note when it's been through the washing machine though. :hihi:

And if hubby ever leaves any notes in his trousers - well it belongs to the cleaner in our house (me) :thumbsup:

tried down the side of the sofa? Does Max like wallets? :D

Max has been glared at repeatedly but although he looks worried I know he's innocent I've checked his bed twice and also followed him around the house making him move from his hoding places so I could check he wasn't lying on it.
The bin got checked the swingbin in the kitchen got emptied and then I went outside and investigated both blue and black bins for the missing wallet, Banana skins do pong a bit.
Washing machine, no joy and the bathroom cabinet only had things in it you're supposed to keep in there.
The question bouncing around in my head at the moment is what did I do after I counted or sorted out my change, the bag i carry things in was definitely done up when i got to the shops and I'd had no reason to open it on the dog walkso that would seem to mean that the wallet must still be in the house somewhere, but where?
I even got to the stage of lifting the hearth rug to check it hadn't some how slipped under that and I've braved the spiders and checked behind my big heavy TV unit.
As I've now run out of places to look and I've checked some of them more than once I can only rest a bit and reassure myself that at least I'm not the only one to have these weird memory lapses although I'm still not very impressed with my total failure to either discover it's where-abouts or figure out when I lost it.

Totally sympathise with you. Take a break, even give the ghost up! tomorrow morning it'll either hit you like a bolt of lightening or it'll turn up unexpectantly. After all it's only money! Good luck!

A long long time ago, before I bothered to own a wallet, I used to keep my money in my jeans back pocket.
Anyway, I got into the pub, put my hand into my back pocket to pull out my fiver (told you it was a long time ago:hihi: ) - No fiver.
I checked again. Nohing. Luckily a friend at the bar lent me the money. I still checked my pocket again anyway - still nothing.

The next day, got up pulled jeans on - yes- the fiver Was in the back jeans pocket :suspect: :loopy:
Before you ask, I did return the fiver :)

Have you found it yet Wallbuilder????????

I don't suppose that the bag you kept it in has an internal lining? tears in bag/jacket linings seem to be magnets for all types of valuables - good luck with the search.

After giving my house the most determined and vigorous cleaning that it's had for years I've had to admit defeat.
It's not so much the loss of the money [although that isn't nice] but rather the fact that I just don't know what happened to it.
I found one new shiny pence in the gutter and so I've only got £44.99 to go and I'll of broken even again
I'm still tutting at my stupidity at not being able to find it although the tossing and turning in bed. has decreased.

Just a thought & you may have already done it but check the bin. (It's amazing what my sister will throw away at the same time as throwing rubbish away :| )

I would suggest checking in the fridge & under the grill too but in my experience that's keys not wallets.

Fingers crossed it turns up yet

last week when we had the warm couple of days iwas stood outside my front door having a smoke,a mate of mine walked by,we chatted and he picked up a penny from the pavement.

he passed it to me and said "see a penny pick it up,give it your mate,to bring him luck " i thanked him and he went on his way.

on returning to the hose i found my gold ring had fallen off my finger,it was there moments earlier as i have a habit of twirling it around ,i searched every where,never did find it.

saw my mate again today,gave him a penny and told him he was a xxxxxxxx jinx..

At Meadowhall a kindly old gentleman tapped me on the shoulder and presented me with the £20 I'd just requested from a cash machine. I'd taken back my cashcard and wandered off. Felt like a right wally.

i once lost my switch card and had to cancel it at christmas time, i was so annoyed that i had to shop with cash.the switch card turned up 7 months later in my old purse, i had moved all the cards and forgot that one. DOH:loopy: :loopy:
