    Oh thats rubbish. I'm hoping it turns up somewhere you really don't expect. (Randomly I've lost things only to have them turn up in handbags or pockets many months later and have no recollection of ever having put said things there - so - I am hoping same for you).

    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    A friend of mine lost his phone & later found it in the fridge. It is amazing what we can do when we are thinking of something else.

    Hope your necklace turns up Beanie - I recently lost a ring, so I feel your pain! Glad boss checked you were OK and that they are not worried about appearances over your keenness to volunteer.

    Sorry to hear about the fall and the missing bracelet. When do you last recall seeing it?

    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪

    I definitely had the neckless on on Tuesday & then I realised that I didn’t have it on on Wednesday morning. I definitely have not taken it off so it’s obviously come off in some way. So upset. I hardly slept last night.
