Have to admit to spending ten minutes last night looking for the 'keyless' keys for his car, left in my shopping bag. So much easier to lose them when you don't have to press anything to lock the carMy mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

The cold is on its way out thankfully @EssexHebridean. I forced myself to fight it for the concert but let it do its worst over the weekend.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I have dropped my keyless fob into the well of the handbrake twice, which means dismantling the surrounding "box" - a task for a mechanic. Now I keep the fob inside my handbag or coat pocket.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0

I lost my computer glasses this morning and we both searched in vain. Much later I found them under a pile of blankets on a seat, so I'm lucky I still have them. Supposing I'd sat down to think about where I'd put them?! So Mr SA isn't the only one.Sun_Addict said:Just spent ages looking for Mr SA's keys, practically turned the house upside down including getting everything out of the recycling bin as that was the last place he remembered having them. He even tried to blame me! Guess where they were? Only on the lanyard round his neck 🤬 He had put his coat and scarf on to take the dog out and didn't notice them! Honestly than man will drive me demented!I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

I spend half my time looking for my glasses. I only need them for reading but tend to get up from needing them and leaving them almost anywhere.

Oh no! @foxgloves. Are they still useable?
