    My DS3 was forever losing things; or forgetting them. I think it is a male thing. He was always losing things that were supposed to be attached like ties/sweatshirts etc., Took a new pair of trainers to school for games, not an expensive label so were not worth stealing, left them in the changing rooms and they were never seen again. OH SO FRUSTRATING !! He's nearly grown out of it now at 21!!

    Are you able to buy another key Spud? I think we could at my daughter's school for £5.00 - not great but would save the deposit.

    My birthday is Thursday! I know it is a bit lazy really, but I can't say I really like housework although I like it to look clean and tidy!

    It wasnt so bad when he was at primary school, because I was there to remind, help, search etc.

    Now he's at high school, I have to let him do it himself. School have tried to help with the memory/organisation issues but he still really struggles. To be honest, he hasnt been as bad as I thought he'd be, but today has completely baffled me.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    He's back. No one has handed the key in, but he can get a new one for £3. He says he'll pay himself.

    Just having a quick chat, and it seems he's not getting bullied.

    Thats good then Spud...think he is just being a boy. £3 isn't too bad and if he pays he might try and be a bit more careful with his belongings
