This is actually awesome! Thank you SO much @dawnybabes ! It has taken me a few youtube videos and a bit of tinkering of settings but now I have sorted the Siri/Apple Intelligence bit I can indeed get it to create notes and file them away just by talking to my phone! Honestly, I had no idea this was possible and I can see this is going to come in useful for so many things. Even drafting my thoughts into something coherent for filling in the long forms! Seriously great stuff. 😁

you can get a replacement log book but it’s £25 from DVLA 😭

It will turn up eventually. Probably after you replace it. A friend lost his mobile & found it in the fridge. He realised that whilst unpacking his shopping he had taken a phone call with bad news & had put it there whilst distracted. I've lost my passport which is normally in the folder marked holidays. I know I used it to prove ID & now just have to remember what the ID was for before it needs renewing early next year.

Yeah, the good news is that in looking for the log book I have managed to find all my important ID that I had also misplaced. I am delighted as I now have my birth certificate, passport, marriage certificate and change of name deed all together and back where they actually belong! Literally cannot recall the last time I had them all together and it is considerably more difficult to replace them than the log book so I am taking it as a win! Still no long book of course but hey, £25 is not a lot if it means I get to sell the car.

Finding them all is brilliant! Is it possible your DD accidentally held on the the log book when she handed the car back? Or at least might remember seeing you put it somewhere?

The biggest thing that happened today was dd2 finally cut all my hair off for me! I am sure in time I’ll have more energy and I can get a proper style but for now we just went for number 5 on the clippers all over. Not sure what work will think but who cares. I have no regrets and can see it will make my life easier so that’s all I am interested in. I thought dd2 might find it embarrassing to be out with me but apparently not. She just keeps ruffling my hair like I am a dog! 😂

I can imagine you'll get to like it very much! A friend who has very short hair has also dyed it brightly and it looks fabulous.

Today has been frustrating. I woke up after a decent night’s sleep and woke up finally feeling able to have a look at my accounts and coming up with a cashflow forecast. Yay, I thought, I will feel much better for getting a sense of where I am at and make a plan… only one tiny thing I have to do first… set my laptop back up on my desk.

Now, ‘setting my laptop up’, usually means opening the draw if the desk, taking it out, popping it on the stand and plugging it back in. Easy right? Well it would be if the laptop was in the draw where it should be! Can I find it? Hell no! I have looked everywhere I can think of until I finally burned through all of my ‘good day’ energy and had to just give in a lay down. So not only did I not get my budget sorted but now I have a lost laptop as well as a lost log book. 😭

Honestly, every draw, cupboard and surface in my house is now completely unorganised and I cannot find anything. I know a lot of it got turned upside down when my brother came over and helped move all the furniture around but as always I just said not to worry about sorting the stuff because it is something I usually like to do myself so I know where everything ends up. Only problem with doing that this time is I have no energy to sort any of it and no memory to recall where everything is even if I do sort stuff. 😞

So, the laptop is no doubt somewhere ‘safe’, protected from all the furniture shuffling, but is now so safe I cannot find it. Got to just love life atm! 🤦‍♀️

Oh dear, sending sympathy.

It's really annoying when you can't find things.
