    Hiya Linz...........go and do something completely unrelated to finding this stuff..................and in the middle of doing that...........you will remember were it is............and it will be in the very last place you would think...........because mine always is:D

    I am a complete pain in the !!!!!! for putting my cheque books etc in a 'safe place'.......and I completely forget about them until I need them...........then I can't find them.....then I'm turning the house upside down like a complete nutter....(which if the house was anywhere near tidy would be ok.........but it isn't so it really is like finding a needle in a hay stack!!:o )

    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
    Where would your "safe place" have been? Behind the bath panel? Under a floorboard? In a cupboard? Behind the toilet?! Under the bed?

    Glad you've found it. Every time I 'lose' my card I swear i'll always keep it in a 'safe place' from then on. I never do. Mind you, the best was when I lost it, cancelled it and then found it in the 'safe place' that i'd never thought to look in coz I never put it there! Aaaahhhhhh!

    Glad you found it Lynz, I turned the house upside down before we went away looking for my driving licence which wasn't in it's usual place. I eventually found it attached to the side of my filing cabinet with a magnet...:confused: and I didn't need it on holiday...

    I think i preferred it when i was disorganised and they wer scattered all over the floor

    Or when I was not a DFW and they could all be found in my purse

    or maybe not lol :rotfl:
