    Colleague sounds a bit of an @@se. Has your handbag got a hole in the lining, did it miss the make up bag and has somehow got into the lining?

    It is so frustrating when things disappear. Gally would say to ask St Anthony to find it - I think that's right? Gally are you about to confirm?

    Hope you can relax this evening.

    Best wishes Tilly x x

    It's a new handbag :D:D............bargain £199 reduced to £25 :money:

    Sit down quietly somewhere and think about it. Then say "St Anthony, St Anthony return that which is mine".

    You may find somewhere pops into your head, if not then start looking again, individual item by item, Tilly's suggestions are good.

    I know it sounds a bit woo woo but you'd be amazed. NB - only to be used in dire emergencies, not when you misplace that nice pink pencil :rotfl:. I have so far resisted asking him to find the €400 I've put somewhere safe :eek:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I had to stifle my laughter :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I have done a thorough sweep of my desk draw, handbag, lunch bag and bin.................I only have my craft bag (at home) and the possibility it fell out on floor at home :mad::mad:

    Mind you I have been searching for my wide craft labels for a week only to discover this am that they are in my narrow craft label bag, which I have opened 3 times in that week and it's clear plastic :wall::wall::wall:

    I like that one too :rotfl::rotfl:


    My 3 guesses are
    Where you put your make up on this morning, On the floor (as you say) or in the tiny pocket in your bag that is only big enough to hold a lipstick :)


    as for your craft labels and looking 3 times already - what did I say - Blind Panic :eek::eek::eek:
