If anyone finds my address books ......... I have 2, one general addresses and the other my GC addresses (well it was GC when I started it). Can't find either so my Christmas cards are still sitting waiting to be addressed.

Bet they turn up on Christmas Eve!!!

The thing is when you are looking for a lost object you often find other "lost" objects then think I'll remember where that is now. Some hopes you always forget I know have an a to z notebook and when I find something record it in there.

If I tell my other half it's in a safe place he knows it's disappeared forever.

Found £150 in my wardrobe once that I had put there for safekeeping and then forgotten about until at least a year later!

I do that - but not with presents! For some reason, it's tweezers that go missing on me - I must have bought ten pairs in the last few years and I just don't know where they go!

Although, saying that, I did once get asked by my dad to wrap a present for Mum "from Santa", put it in my wardrobe to hide it and forgot about it until Christmas morning . . .

I bought myself a special calendar for 2009 and put it away somewhere "safe" until the new year came. So safe that I still can't find it now! LOL I had to go and buy myself another one.
