I have given up looking for my lost wallet. I'm pretty sure it's in my house somewhere. Certainly nobody has tried to use any of the cards. But I can't find it. I have bought a new wallet - which I was going to do anyway because the popper that closes it was getting a bit loose and not holding it closed properly, and today I have gone on all the relevant websites to get replacement credit/debit cards, driving licence, and points collecting cards from various places. What's the betting the old wallet turns up tomorrow??Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Oh yes, it's bound to!
Remind me...do you have a dog? If so, have you looked in its bed? Or in its bone-hiding-places!
Other places to check...
The car, including the boot.
Pockets of random coats, backpacks etc.
Somewhere in the garden? The shed?
Can you remember when you last saw it?
Did you pay the window-cleaner from it?
Or give to a charity at the door from it?
I expect you've done all that sort of thinking, though!
It's so annoying, isn't it? Especially as, as you say, it'll turn up!(I just lurve spiders!)

Get someone else to look if you can. I have sometimes found that "lost" things are in plain view. I didn't "see" them though!0

Car glove compartment?
Where you keep your bank statements? bllls? receipts?
Buried under christmas wrapping in bin?
Near the phone? computer?
In any cupboard where you had to look for something?There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
....and very often, you come in, perhaps with your wallet in your hand but get distracted by eg, the phone ringing, or somesuch, so you put it down in an unusual place thinking "I'll get it later", but you're distracted by the person on the phone so you don't embed that info.
Then you've forgotten about the wallet.
That's why it can sometimes be useful to think of what you were doing when you last saw the wallet.
If you have a porch or a garage, that's another place to look.(I just lurve spiders!)

I've just fitted a new timer to the toaster. During that process, I needed to contact the manufacturer, who told me it was made in 2000. Naturally, they still sell spares for it. Before I bought this, we were going through much cheaper toasters at the rate of one a year.
I'm not quite sure why I posted that?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
