Where does "stuff" go?

[Mo1959]

As well as suffering from your affliction.................I also seem to have a habit of throwing things out that I think I won't ever need again and have to buy them again six months later!

 

[jonny jeez]

I bought, unpacked, used and carefully stored away a spoke tension meter a few years ago. Never seen it again. Searched literally the entire workshop for it.

I genuinely believe that I may have dreamed that I bought it....as I have no record on any of my usual online retail.accounts.

Beginning to think I am losing my marbles. I decided to nip off for a night camping out with my motorbike, so started getting my camping gear together. Where has my Vango groundsheet gone though? I had it on my last trip just a few weeks ago, and distinctly remember rolling it up into it's compression bag when I came home. But I have turned the house upside down and cannot find it. You wouldn't put it anywhere else than alongside other camping stuff, would you?

This is just the latest in a long line of "stuff" that simply disappears. MP3 players; books; glasses; CD's; good pens; etc.. I live alone so it's not as if I can blame anyone else for tidying up and putting stuff in the wrong place. It will no doubt turn up somewhere, sometime, but meantime it's annoying!

I had a mad panic looking for my car keys a few days ago, turning the house upside down...................I had them in my bloody hand!!

That`s called losing your marbles

obviously you have not checked down the back of the sofa, if its not there then you will at least find some loose change you can put towards buying a new one

I asked this a few months ago when i lost a cap and something else(can't remember what). The cap turned up,it was in the sleeve of a jacket. I've done this before,when i take the jacket off the back of a chair taking a cap underneath with it. I usually find them months later when i put the jacket on feeling a cap in the sleeve.

I have a vortex around me that sends whatever I put down just there just now into another dimension in spacetime, or summat.

I always put important things 'in a safe place'.

As yet I am unable to recall where said safe place is..

I've got five Stanley knives. Every one of them is skilled at hiding.

Edit: the six tape measures are pretty good too.

I have the reverse problem , swmbo keeps buying stuff we already have cus she cant be assed to check with my 1st, like the numerous rolls of wrapping paper, paint tins etc etc she forgets she has already bought.

There's a never ending battle to keep stuff together in this house. I tend to know where I've put stuff, whereas Mrs Cube strives continually to relocate anything I need right now to some hitherto uncharted corner of the universe. I have found that ranting is counterproductive in these circumstances, as logic surely dictates that my shooting mat belongs behind the furniture in the conservatory doesn't it

This is so true, more so currently, we have lived in our current house 32 years but have decided to sell (hopefully) Mrs P has set about going through the house & dispatching 32 years of clutter to the bin. She did our bedroom the other weekend which resulted in me standing on our bedroom with no trousers, my 'work' as in gardening, car/bike repair trousers have always lived in the bottom of the wardrobe. Could I find them, could I hell, they have now been re-located to the bottom draw by the window where the jumpers have always been, arrrrrrrrrgh

It will be in the fridge !

This is a running family joke, Mrs P once very inadvertently put her car keys in the fridge, we never found out exactly what she was doing at the time, but one of the kids found them there, she has never been allowed to live it down & that must have been 15+ years ago.
