    With me, some of them are good dress shoes I've had for years, but would only wear them to a special 'do' iyswim. A couple of pairs are over 30years old!

    Others are shoes which, when I find a pair that are comfy, and look good, and can be worn for walking or for going out, then I buy three of more pairs in different colours, because otherwise, they discontinue them when you need a new pair.
    So I am working my way though those. As they get worn out, they get downgrade from best flats, to everyday around town flats, to walking somewhere roughish flats.

    Then there are others which I buy because they are unusual and beautiful! :D Not heels any more, though, as heels are too uncomfortable.
    However, I won't pay silly prices for them, so I wait for the sales. I've lost two lovely pairs because I wouldn't pay the silly price, and by the time they were a price I would pay, they didn't have my size.

    I own a USB endoscopic camera, but I can't find it. Any ideas on how to find it, apart from buying a replacement, which is sure to work.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Pray to St Anthony? ;)

    When did you last use it? I find that's the only way we can find things when OH loses stuff - then think back, and try and imagine what you did next. Good luck! :)

    Endoscopes can be used for looking into all sorts of orifices, not just that one :D

    What's the betting that's where your endoscopic camera is lurking?
    :rotfl:


    Assuming that "under the floorboards" isn't a euphemism :D:D:D

    It's in the pocket of the jacket you were wearing the last time you used it. Or your toolbox.

    You put it "somewhere handy".

    It's not with my screwdriver as I've found that ....
