Today is really not going too well :(

I have lost my keys. I literally have no idea where i put them when I got in from work yesterday.

So, this means I'm stuck in my flat all day, until the OH gets home.
(We lock the main door to the building as us and the tenant in the other flat feel safer, and we don't want to get robbed).

I also have not much food in the cupboards (nothing for lunch) as it was payday on Friday and we get extra discount this week so was waiting until then to do the shopping...

Today will be fun....

    Bummer. If it’s any consolation, I too could not find my keys this morning… they ended up being in the garden :-/

  • Your garden? Bit of an odd place to find them haha.

    On a plus side I suppose it means I won't be spending any money today.

    I will just sit here and do my Company Law assignment, indoors. Whilst I watch everyone walk past in the lovely sunshine outside.

    Think about what you were wearing yesterday, pocket wise.

    Empty your handbag, then rattle your handbag,

    I suggested that to someone who had lost a few items of gold and was stressing so much about someone stealing from her. She rattled the empty handbag and heard them rattle, they had fallen through a small hole in the lining

    Look in the ignition of the car.

    Have some toast............
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Yeah, I lost mine the other day as well, which meant I was locked in the house.
    I eventually found then under a pile of stuff which someone else had thoughtfully plonked on top of them.
    Are you able to ring the OH just to make sure they don't have them? Then at least you;d know where they are.

    If it makes you feel any better, the other day I was cooking. I put the remaining chicken breasts back into the cutlery draw and the knife in the fridge :)
