So here’s the thing. As we grow old mature (nope grow old), our little brains can’t seem to hold on to the information that we have stored, slotted inside those gooey pinkish-beige coloured bits inside our skulls.
I know mum is struggling now, but this isn’t about her, it’s about me. I am one of these people that hides things in safe hiding spots..you know what’s coming next don’t you dear readers, hell yes, when I want to retrieve said items from their cosy tucked away, no one will find me spot… I have forgotten where that spot is.
This afternoon as I was bored out of my little pinkish-grey area, I decided to try and find said spot. I went through 10 different drawers in the bedroom. I grabbed the foot stool from the kitchen and went up high in the shelving at the top of my wardrobe. My god the rubbish I have up there! Hats that I will no longer wear, 2 old dolls from when I was little, my wedding dress this one (Life does change) bags. I grabbed all the boxes from under the bed and nothing. I scoured through every hand bag I own (the ones that weren’t on the top of the wardrobe), every shoe box, every plastic bag (obviously stashed because I couldn’t be bothered putting in the bin at the time). Hells bells, I even checked the freezer and the cupboards in the kitchen.
I am at a loss dear readers and it’s frustrating, annoying and miffing, (instead of miffing insert copious rude words) the daylights out of me.
I have even tried (and I am sure you all have done this) standing in one spot and concentrating really hard to put myself back in that place (you know time machine stuff) in order to extract this information, but no it’s not working. I emailed Mr. S at work and he came back with “Is this the lot you lost some time back or another lot”? … hmmm grizzle grizzle. Then he came back “Perhaps hire a metal detector”?
Actually not a bad idea, as dear readers my little items that I’ve so perfectly hidden is jewellry. Yes, you heard it here first, smart alec me thought I would be clever in case we were ever robbed and thought I know I’ll put these …… in the…… (see I thought by typing that it would trigger something…but I got nuttin’). I have a necklace that mum bought me and a diamond ring that I bought and god knows what other golden trinkets I have so masterfully hidden from any would be robbers, but also myself 😦
Apart from turning the whole house upside down, I really don’t know what to do. If you could have witnessed my ‘tanty’ earlier you would have either laughed, or rung for assistance.
The only positive is that I have tidied up the drawers and wardrobe and under the bed, the freezer and kitchen cupboards are fine.
I feel such a 
and to top it all off we are supposed to be in Spring, it’s grey, cold and raining outside…. got to love Melbourne (only adds to the drama of the post, really inconsequential)
So what have you lost, if anything, were you able to find it again… got any clues to restore this pink-greyish coloured brain of mine (in a hurry)?
Ramblings From A Mum 
Oh dear RM, but these things do happen. You don’t have chooks by any chance and hidden them in there do you think? There is nothing so frustrating than knowing you put an item ‘somewhere’ and be buggered if you can remember where that ‘somewhere’ is. I don’t think I’ve helped your situation at all though. Oh well keep looking, pray to St Anthony, he can find things apparently, my sister swears by him and I’m sure at him when he doesn’t fulfill his end of the bargain.
thank you RM…I wish you could have come up with an answer.. I’m not religious so I think St Anthony won’t hear my calls for help, even if I tried, but I thank you for trying 😦
he responds to heathen, so give him a try. Saints don’t discriminate RM.
you should see me laughing out loud right now! Ok I shall tonight…hope he’s a miracle worker! 😉
and no …no chooks ..though knowing me if I did have..I probably would have 😦
Under the mattress? In a pocket in your wardrobe? In with the linen? Towels? In a cupboard behind the cans? In a cup? Can’t think of anything else.
no not the mattress, but believe me you have given me ideas so I thank you… I think the house will be turned upside down tomorrow!!!
Oh the fun of trying to find things 🙂
or … the not so much 🙂
haha yes. Sorry, the sarcasm was just dripping from my last comment, it doesn’t come over well though lol
lol drip away – I took it the right way 🙂
😀
It is frustrating when you can’t find something at the place, you thought you had kept it. Keep on searching… Hope you find it all soon. 🙂
I hope so too HA – thank you, I know they are here somewhere… just where????
Oh dear… You sound like me! And mind you, i have ocd about making sure my house is in perfect order. And sometimes i still bang my head on the wall because i dont remember where things are.
I say forget it.
*smiles widely* I have just searched through another two cupboards… we are talking quite a bit of money here unfortunately – otherwise I would.. I think the metal detector is going to be hired! Ps My house is in order – my brain is not 😦
Please continue looking then 😦
I shall – tomorrow is a new day – I only hope I haven’t mistakingly thrown them away 😦
Many years ago I lost my engagement ring. I searched high and low for it, if you can call frantically throwing things around searching. In the end I saw a psychic. She told me my fiance would find it in a unit of 7, that it was at home, in a pair of his shoes and near running water. 7 weeks later he found it in a pair of diving booties stored in the bathroom. A sigh of relief ensued so great you could hear it in Melbourne!
I shall try the metal detector (after I pull the whole house apart tomorrow) if not the psychic shall be called. How utterly amazing, I am equally amazed why it was in a pair of diving boots in the bathroom! Thank you Victoria 🙂
So was I. We had been robbed and I think in the crazy sorting out post burglary it must have fallen in there. The last place I would ever have looked.
perhaps I need to search in the obscure pockets – thanks Victoria… I’ll let you know if I’m lucky.
Good luck.
Thanks Victoria – think I shall need it.
Oh my gosh, this is hilarious! This is also me!! Usually I don’t even mean to hide stuff…I just misplace them unintentionally.
I have had plenty of “I can’t find it” tantrums. Sometimes, in desperation I speak to the universe…”Oh powerful magical universe….please guide me to the ::::insert whatever::::: ” and I walk aimlessly around the house until something feels….”hot…hotter…..oh so hot!”
Doesn’t always work but it stops me from having a hissy fit and tipping out all the drawers in the house.
Otherwise…just have a good SPRING CLEAN. You’ll find stuff then.
right I shall also try this ( I have a terrible feeling that I put them in the freezer – no one looks in the freezer) and we had a power cut months ago and I lost everything inside and I bundled everything up and threw it all out 😦 I am hoping this is not what’s happened. Spring clean tomorrow and see, but I am slowly running out of options after today 😦 xx
Had another thought…scattered brained as I am. One of my friends received a call from a thrift store asking if she intended to donate the jewelry that was in a coat pocket. That was her hiding spot. Success!
Pockets – hmm not checked glad you like Beck I was crying and laughing at the same time (as throwing a tanty!!) 😀 xxx
it is in the last place. *nods wisely* the last place you look, always start there. 🙂
wait. are you wearing the missing jewelry?
*eeeeps… runsssssssssss*
😉
you best run cheeky 😉 Hmm ok I shall re-trace my steps, thanks honey 🙂 xx
Lol. Huggggs. Stop looking, it will turn up. * nods encouragingly*
I hope so..I think I have more than one piece hidden – don’t worry when I locate I shall post 🙂 *hugs* xx
I once actually put my clipboard down in the freezer at work. I could not find it anywhere. One of my co-workers found it and really had a ball watching me go crazy trying to find it.
A clipboard you say – that’s as bad as me putting my mobile phone in the fridge 🙂 Nasty co-worker lol xx
LOL! I got even. He left his car keys. We took turns hiding them. 😡
Like your work 😉 x
only when i totally surrender and admit defeat, does the lost item cross my path once more. ps – what a fun picture book it would be to document things piled on top of high places and tucked away under beds in people’s houses. could be scary too )
I think I need to write a list of where I put things – then of course remember where I put the list! Yes it would be scary..god knows what you may find 🙂 Thanks hun – I’m pretty much defeated right now, but the search will continue – into the battle I march!! 🙂 xx
You put in in the Living room somewhere, think harder, you will get it.
YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS!
perhaps I do ….now !!! 😉 x
😀 HA HA
Have you found it yet? Stop trying and the little people will give it back/ let you know where to look. I only ever find things once I’ve stopped looking. Frustrating but true.
*nods* oh and the little people were no help at all 😉 x
