:confused::confused: I have them all in a box that I only pull out for my online banking or paying in the odd cheque.

I paid in a cheque on wednesday so I know I definatley had the box then as I needed a slip to do it, and the slips were DEFNIATELY in the box

I have no idea where it is tunred everything upside down where the hell is it?

If youve nicked it can i have it back?

Ive checked
under the bed
in all the drawers & cupbaords
fridge
oven

I feel like IM going mad!!!!!! :confused::confused::confused:
:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Have you checked your handbag and pockets?
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    So you've lost the entire box? Under a chair, fallen off a table, under a pile of papers ...

    Oh no - maybe you should phone and cancel your cards then asap! Just to be on the safe side

    Know it's probably a stupid question, but you haven't been burgled have you? Not left a door or window open and some opportunistic scumbag has dived in, struck lucky with your cards and made off again?

    Would recommend getting them cancelled babe, just to be on the safe side.

    Althought I guarantee from personal experience that exactly 11 seconds after you cancel the last card, you will find them.

    b/f thought he'd lost his last night and I had to scare him into phoning up and cancelling it!!

    Then he found it *under the laptop* as he'd been about to pay bills and had put it there to remind him. Only 11 seconds after cancelling it, as GP says.

    now he has to go to the bank today etc etc etc.. poor thing!

    I know!! Ive done the cancelling so many times before and they always reappear immieidately

    We have had a visitor to the house ( lodgers guest) and as I knew they were coming and I didnt know them I put my cardbox in a "safe place"

    Looks like another no spend day for me
